Single leg? No. Start lighter and wait until you get used to it. Single leg squats involve a LOT more balance and muscles that do not get worked hard usually
I cycle my levels up and down through the year. No one should go balls out non stop
nice update here bro
Keep the updates rolling.
My weeks over, time for a rest day.
I have several questions on how my training should be on cycle, I continue to increase weight with excellent form and don't move until I can mange the weight well. As to training changes I have moved around some back exercises as I felt stale on the chest supported rows. I have added two exercises to legs. As to sets and reps I feel that 6-8 reps is good for me, however I am not sure that 5 sets is optimal, would 4 sets be a better range?
Also what do you guys think about splitting workouts, is that beneficial? Example: Chest first then 2 hour break for work then destroy shoulders? I normally get fried from Chest then grind the shoulders.
As to my volume : I have been reading 12-15 sets per body part lately. I will continue to incorporate a single high rep exercise with 50 reps doing 2-3 sets of those at the end. Vascularity of biceps is insane, during the high rep sessions I can literally see my arms turning red and so swollen they feel liek they are not there, I can barely rack dumbbells, I digress sorry.
Weights went well this week and I look forward to Chest flat BB press
Meals: This is getting easier for me to setup food, egg whites are in, whey protein is taking a back seat but I still take a small amount post workout. I feel noticeably better with egg white than straight Whey shakes.
Thanks for all the feedback, have a great weekend, next update Tuesday evening after my Pull session.
Appreciate all the help, I am nearly half way through the cycle and I feel like the deca is taking off big time now.
Thanks
Mark

Nice updates!!!
@man05 dont increase weight, keep the weight the same and stay on this for 2 more weeks, you need to keep that protein high and train 2 more weeks before adjustments
