My favorite set and rep scheme ever is 3 sets of 5 with the same weight so always stick with that for first excercise of that body part.

When off gear will follow with one more excercise for 4 sets of 8 lighter with shorter rest to get a bit volume in, when on will do 4 sets of 8-12 of several extra excercises, sometimes 5 or 6 excercise son a good day.

I find more of a pump style training works very good when on. Don't care about strength. But if natural strength training is the way to go

I like to warm up and go right to the heavy stuff. stay there for 2 sets 5-8 reps.... 1 set at 10-12 reps.... then load the heavy stuff back on and do 1 drop set with 3 drops. works well with the basics(bench, inc, deads, rows)  works good for me on any thing but legs...

Good negatives and shocking the body.

I did shoulders today.. started with military press, then db side lateral raise and moved on to cable side lateral raise. Did 3 sets of heavy raises without pausing and then I lowered the weight without stopping pretty much and did to failure 7 sets for each delt, without stopping. Left delt, straight to right delt and straight to left delt again and so on and on. I don't go so intense always. But fast phase workouts like that works best for me.

Same as off but with heavier weights... Altho last few month I've went back to training 3 days a week while clean and it seems to suit me at the moment

Tues  chest,shoulders,triceps
Thurs. Legs
Sat.    back,traps,biceps


A few warm ups then 3 to 5 sets with the same weight, 3 exercises per muscle group, not realy going to failure but squeezing, contracting etc, not much time between sets

I do alot of cardio while on, very moderate while off

Do you use heavy weights or lighter weights but feel the mind-muscle connection more?

legs-push-pull off repeat. alternating focus on quads-hams, chest-shoulders, width-thickness

I use the same rep schemes,so if I use a 50kg db for 8, that would end up a 40 or 42.5 with the same form for example

I usually do the same split but with more frequency and more sets and more weights of course

I personally find a mix of everything is the way to go. I do tend to push my body with heavier weights while on cycle, but I have found that training heavy usually fucks up the alignment of my body and I will need to go to a chiropractor a few months later. I think it's important to mix it up that gives me the best results.
