Trying to put together a routine, Ive never exactly "followed" one but Im really trying to bring up my back and legs. Ive reached a piont of development where Id ont think training like an idiot and going by instinct is going to cut it.

Monday- chest/triceps
Tuesday- back/biceps/forearms (am) delts (pm)
wedsday- legs
Thursday- off
Friday- shoulders/triceps
Saturday- legs/biceps/forearms
sunday -off

this look like a bit too much ?   be curious to see what your guys splits look like


not too much with good diet and rest

Flin this shit is not complicated. Get stronger. Remember that good ol tool from back in the day called periodization? That shit you relied on before you took steroids? Use it and get stronger bro. Focus on strength. Then reverse it and go back to the higher reps IF that truly works for you. Its like this, if you can max bench 315 for 12 today...then a couple months from now you bench 365 for 12...will your muscles be bigger? Of course.

Come on flin you know this man.

yah, slution is, do 1 heavy training, 2 easy, 2 heavy, 1 easy etcetc.


 ::) @ "wolfox" toothpickers for arms "focus on strenght" ,lol, this is not powerlifting.yah, eat like a swine all day and be "strong" and then what? ::)

flintsone has built his strenght foundation, he can now play around with the weights.

when one is strong enough to bench his own bodyweight for 10 times full rom, clean reps at 5-6% bodyfat, then they got the strenght foundation.

thatll equal to a bit more strenght when bulked up, but lol, really, strenght buildup is for the newcomers,the guys with no or few cycles under the belt etc.
if one doesnt eventualy get out of that pattern, they will remain permabulker forever.

whether i do biceps curls with 25 lbs dumbells,or 40s, all the same results.

if you focus on strenght, you need to overeat premanently and need to be 100% rested before hitting bodypart again, this is no good for bbuilding purposes.
ask teh pros if they focus on strenght haha, wolfox shut the fuck up, you look like a turd.

seen cutlers weight used for deadlifts?just saying.

strenght is a relative term anyway.and is limited, and has more to do with just muscle.

5 days a week is my magic number. 6 is just too much even though I'd love to physically be able to.

Yeah bro personally I love the PHAT program. I've never maxed out or plateaued in the last 7 years, when I was natty or when I started gear. (only time was when contest prep mode but dramatic muscle gain is kinda not the point during that time any way.)

I train every day I can. Life usually knocks one or two days a week out of the picture so it evens out.

Yep same here. For whatever reason it usually magically works out to be 3 on 1 off 2 on 1 off. If I'm on vacation ill grind it out 6-7 days straight.  8)

I would say if you are using moderate weights twice a week is okay. If you are using what is heavy weight for you then once a week will work.

When you train once a week there is so much over lap for lack of a better description. Lets say you train chest and back on Monday. Wednesday is legs and Friday is delts/arms with weekends off. When you are doing chest and back you are working the bicep and triceps really hard with all  the pushing and pulling. Then Friday the bicep and tricep get hit hard directly. So that is twice a week. Here's another example. Legs are hit hard on Wednesday and they are hit hard again when you do dead lifts as part of your Monday back/chest day.  The bodybuilding model of body part training involves over lap. It's nearly impossible to isolate in a comprehensive bodybuilding routine. Your body works as a unit and not in isolation.
A good post.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Groink is a father and also in a serious long term committed relationship....EVERYDAY . There's no off days where the baby mama takes little Groink and stays with her parents, that type of drama, etc that you have in your life. Being a family man is a full time job bro.

What about the study that showed test combined with finasteride not only makes it impossible for the finasteride to inhibit the production of the enzyme Type II 5a reductase, but may actually PROMOTE it?
