training split while on test cycle

[02gixxersix]

I know this is a training question but I want to ask you bros because its pertains to training while on. I just started my cycle of test cyp at 600 mg/wk yesterday and im gonna run it for 10 wks with fina at 100 mg eod wks 6-12. The thing is I like to work out 6 days a week, however I want to make the best of this cycle and not overtrain. I read a post sayin that you should train every other day but that is out of the question because even if its the best way to do it I myself could not spend that much time away from the gym.
Anyways like I said I like to work out as many days as possible and sometimes I dont even like to take a rest day. The thing is I did back today with my friend who is like 3 times my size and he killed me so im resting today (well so faar we'll see who I feel later) Today would have been my shoulder day followed by legs tomorrow and arms after that. chest preceeds back of course. Anyways I was just wondering what some of your bulkin cycle training splits look like and if any of you have your actual workout that you could send to me that would be fuckin awesome. I kinda wanna switch things up a bit. also how much cardio would you guys do. I usually do cardio and abs on one of my rest days, or I'll just do abs in with one of my workouts. Any ideas?????? Karma to anyone who helps thanks a lot bros

It really sounds like you are prone to overtraining. More is not always better. I'm currently on a cycle of test enanthate, dbol, eq, and winny. Here is my training routine:

Day #1 - Chest
dumbbell incline press - 4 sets
barbell flat bench press - 4 sets
incline dumbbell flyes - 3 sets

Day #2 - Back
t-bar rows - 4 sets
deadlifts - 3 sets
wide-grip pulldowns - 3 sets
seated cable rows - 3 sets

Day #3 - Legs & calves
quads
front leg extensions - 3 sets
squats - 3 sets
leg press - 4 sets
hamstrings
leg curls - 2 sets
calves
seated calf raises - 3 sets
standing calf raises - 3 sets

Day #4 - Shoulders
dumbbell military press - 4 sets
front lateral raises - 2 sets
side lateral raises - 2 sets
rear lateral raises - 2 sets
upright rows - 3 sets

Day #5 - Arms
triceps
close-grip benches - 4 sets
pushdowns - 3 sets
french press - 3 sets
biceps
barbell curls - 4 sets
preacher curls - 3 sets
alternating dumbbell curls - 3 sets
forearms
wrist curls - 2 sets
reverse wrist curls - 2 sets

Days 6 & 7 - off

Each of the sets listed above are "working" sets......meaning this does not include any warm-up sets. All working sets are done with very heavy weight......85-90% of my 1 rep max. I can usually get 5-6 good reps at this weight, and 1-2 more forced reps.

I train my abs twice per week......usually on my lighter training days. I currently don't do any cardio. If I start to retain too much fat, I'll toss in 3 days of light cardio (bike or treadmill) in the morning....on an empty stomach.

I hope this helps

I would follow something simular to what "humanoid" laid out for you! Where are the deadlifts??? I would change somethings but there is never going to be a workout plan that everyone is going to agree on. It sounds like your overtraining man so i would strongly urge you to try this workout plan, I guarantee that if you cut back on your days in the gym you will make some massive gains!!! I used to be in your shoes but trust us when we tell you that less is better!! Get plenty of rest and eat like a mofo!!!

I forgot to list my deadlifts......they are on back day. I edited the post I agree that you'll never find a workout routine that everyone will agree on. This seems to be working quite well for me, right now. I try to switch things up every 6-8 weeks. I will add/delete some movements, use a barbell instead of dumbbells, and so on.

yea thats a good plan but there just arent enough sets per excercise in my opinion. i do everything to failure and i gain weight and strenth very quickly. not a bad routine though but there are def a few things i would add. as far as the 2 days off i think thats what i need...............however chances that im gonna stick to it are slim ill prolly just do soemthing like this
day 1: chest
day 2: back
day 3: rest
day 4: shoulders
day 5: legs
day 6: arms
day 7: rest

I hate the idea of two days in a row without going to the gym.

If you don't think there are enough sets, movements, or days......let's compare notes. I'm 6', 254, 13% bf. What are your stats? I've got a sneaking suspicion that I win

But seriously......the bottom line is that more is not better, in this case. You are overtraining! Your body needs adequate time to rest. If you were gaining weight and strength to your satisfaction, you never would have asked your original question. Do what you want.......it's your body, but why did you ask for advice if you have no intention of taking it?

I don't mean to team up on you "02gixxersix" but you need to learn from the big boys with experience!! I know its hard to stay away from the gym but if you want to make some serious gains then just do it!! Fuck man I'm not as big as humanoid but i can hold my own. My room mate that i workout with is 6'4, 300lbs, 15%body fat and we only workout four days a week!!
