Need SOME HELP

[mr.linky]

I along with a friend have just started a cycle of sust. 250 @ 500mg a wk:

Routine:
Monday:
Chest
ABS
Cardio

Tuesday:
Upper Back/Bi's
Cardio

Wednesday:
OFF

Thursday:
Shoulders/Tris
ABS
Cardio

Friday:
Legs/Lower Back

Sat. Sun.
OFF

My question is, do you think we are over training? I did alot of research today and have read alot about working out only 2 to 3 days a week. I thought about giving this a try but i figured i would ask you big guys first. Any help or advice would be great. If you need anymore info. on our size and or weight training i will add.

Thanks
Andru

hey bro, you should be fine, and not have to worry about over training on that split with the use of sus. i would say that you would even be fine with that split if you were staying natural. just make sure you are eating enough of the right foods, and getting enough rest.

I am 6'1" and 183lbs at 14% bf now (was 168lbs) been on for two 1/2 wks and my goal is to get up to about 195-205lbs

Partner is 5'10" at 154lbs at 8%bf now (was 143lbs) and wants to get up to about 165lbs.

We eat and eat and eat and eat and well.......EAT. We are both slim guys and he is extremely cut up compared to me who is slightly cut up. So we both just want to get some size and then bulk up all winter long.

If you need anymore info let me know. Thanks for all the help. Any suggestions on my routine?

sounds good, like illuminati said i doubt yuo could even overtrain with that if you were natty. just remember to not aviod squats bench deadlifts CG bench
militarypress and barbell curls.

I got all that intacted. We have been doing sets of 10, 8, and 6. While increasing the weight 5lbs sometimes 10lbs on each. Should we continue to do this or switch it up some?

Any more advice?

Id say possibly undertraining. Especially on the sustanon. Depends where your training is at currently, and on your recovery as well. The heavier you lift, and more sets you perform the more itll tax your recovery. Id go with a 5 day split personally. This is my current split, though it does change depending on how I feel:

Monday: Back and traps
Tuesday: off
Wednesday: off
Thursday: Chest (flat bench with some hammer strength presses, and flies)
Friday: Triceps and Biceps
Saturday: Legs
Sunday: Chest and speed bench (might hit incline work or machines)

Its best to customize your own split though, based on your recovery abilities. I hit all the smaller muscles like abs,forearms,rear delts,lower back and calves also, but not on any steady schedule. It can vary. Calves generally get hit once a week with legs, but sometimes get thrown in on another day. Reardelts usually once a week when I can fit them in. Abs and lower back is 3-4x a week. Forearms I dont train seperately anymore. I might use the COC grippers occasionally but thats about it.

Im sticking to my routine for a while and then im going to switch it up.

Today we did chest, due to us both getting sick (weather change sucks) we have missed a couple days together. So we both did some flat bench maxin' out.

Andru (ME): 335lbs 1 REP Weight: 187lbs

Mike (Partner): 285lbs 1 REP Weight: 146lbs

I think thats not to bad. My goal is to break into the 400 CLUB one day. But i don't see it happening with in the next yr or so.

Are you sure those bench max numbers aren't a little inflated? Benching 335lbsx1 by a guy that is 6'1", 187lbs, sounds pretty impressive to me. What are you, a powerlifter? Same goes for your buddy. Benching 285lbs at 146lbs BW is a very respectable lift. That's almost double bodyweight. Also, you don't sound like you train like a powerlifter from your set and rep structure and your knowledge of training seems a little in need. I'm sorry, but it sounds like a littel hyperbole to me. If not, congrats, I'm not hating, just something doesn't sound right imho.

with benches that high you obviously know your doing something right so dont act so naive. you know stuff.
