What kinda Sets x Reps do you do while on a cycle?

4 x 8-15
sometimes even higher

I vary it alot. Sometimes I'll slam at 5 sets of a compound exercise, then do small set groups to finish the body part. Sometimes I do 10 reps, sometimes I do 6. Sometimes I do a standard 3x10 for a total of 12-15 sets. Sometimes Drop Sets, Partials to failure, Rest-Pause.

I think the key is to NOT have a set program.

i never have a set routine whether on or off. i plataeu too quickly.

What kinda Sets x Reps do you do while on a cycle?

Larger Muscle groups 10-12 sets,,2-3 exercises,,6-10 reps.
Smaller muscle groups 8-10 sets, same as above.

Low volume, high intensity, mostly low reps (with a few exceptions). Frequency is each body part twice every 8 days or so. 3-4 warmup sets, 1 work set to failure (with a few exceptions).

This depends on body parts my friend. I do a base 5x5 program and do all compound lifts 2-3 times a week at low reps high weights. Then on other muscle groups like shoulders I do super sets. I also do super set on calfs, bies and tries.

completely agree

i dont think ive ever kept a same routine for longer then 3-4 weeks

How do you know what is working and what isn't?

From the looks of it you just compensate for that by overwhelming the muscles with volume.

Just think, you could be working smarter!

 

[C.K.]

Normally 8-10 reps but i love doing chins and dips till failure 30 reps
