THanks BA, if I happen to do a cycle come spring i like the look of that, i will lower the doses accordingly, but it looks very good.

No problem.

Just like to state that I just put doses out in the air like that, everybody is different and uses a different amount. You should follow the reasonning not the exact doses.

Very comprehensive, thanks for sharing.

Just out of curiosity, what do you consider high volume/intensity in terms of training?

BA, what would you consider to be a good First Cycle for someone that wants to keep it simple, but VERY effective using your method?

Everybody is different. I'll give you an example of my chest workout during the first phase.

Incline bench press:

5 sets ranging from 3-8 reps, heaviest set: 405lbs for 3-4 reps

Flat db flyes:

3 sets ranging from 5-10 reps, heaviest set: 100bs for 5-6 reps

Flat db press:

3 sets ranging from 5-10 reps, heaviest set: 130bs for 5-6 reps

Cable crossovers:

3 sets ranging from 10-12 reps, heaviest set: 100lbs for 10-12

I gradually go back down to

Incline bench press:

3 sets ranging from 5-8 reps

Flat db flyes:

3 sets ranging from 5-10 reps, heaviest set

Flat db press:

2 sets ranging from 5-10 reps, heaviest set

Cable crossovers:

2 sets ranging from 12-15 rep

(Sometimes I will drop the fourth exercise completely and add 1-2 sets to the 3rd exercise.)


The way I typically train is

1st exercise: Compound: High # of sets
2nd-3rd exercise: BBing: Mid # of sets (dumbells)
4th-5th exercise: Isolation: Mid # of sets (cables)

No need for this method if it's a first cycle. Typically, everybody keeps all there gains on the first cycle.


This is also not very efficient for cutting (ie losing as much fat mass while perserving as much LBM as possible)

A straight short acting compounds cycle is more efficient when cutting.
