Lee Priest also does steroids.

[KgTomCat]

what does anyone think about this routine? Im thinking about giving it a try

[Rugger]

I said that because unless you're on oil, it's too much. 99.8 percent of lifters couldn't handle a program like this without gear if they are working as hard as they should be.

I think that unless you have 24hrs/7days a week to dedicate to eating and training and sleeping, then your going to fail ...

I know that the pro's live, eat, and sleep, bodybuilding when going into contest prep. The average joe who is getting into bodybuilding is not going to have the amount of time to dedicate it to the gym, meals, and sleep ...

Some might argue that all these guys were average joe's when they started, well, that's not true because if all average joes could do this then there would be hundreds of thousands of professional bodybuilders.

Your going to have to put yourself on a PERFECT schedule and remove yourself from reality for a while...remember Arnold skipping his dad's funeral? You got balls like that?

[hardknock]

IM not saying that you can NOT do it, but my question is what's your reason?

[KgTomCat]

IM not saying that you can NOT do it, but my question is what's your reason?

well I have alot of free time, Im in college and most of my time goes to studying then lifting, so when Im not in class or the library, Im in the gym. The only area where I need major improvement, and this bothers me, is sleep. The stress is disrupting my sleeping, Im thinking about taking melatonin to see if it helps

[hardknock]

If your not getting sleep, then you losing more than half the battle with that much volume. just saying...

[freqfly]

That is too much volume unless you're on IMO, I had a similar routine to that when I was on test/anadrol, and was still on the verge of over training. If you cut out a bit, it would be a great routine.

[KgTomCat]

Im thinking about doin Mdrol in feb or march, what about then??

[freqfly]

Thats still quite a bit of volume, even with a superdrol clone. Professional bodybuilders on usually on much more than just one oral.

Something like this

[faaipdeoiad]

i dont get whats so intense about this? i do more than this every time i lift, 5-6 days a week. i dont always go up to 5 sets, sometimes just 4 but i add about 2-3 more exercises than this routine except maybe arms. in all honesty i dont see whats wrong with this.

How many pounds have you gained since you began workout like that?

[warsteiner]

You doing 40 sets on some of the days without warm-up or calves so that is way too much for the average person. As others have mentioned 99.9% of people would easily over-train on that schedule unless they were on steroids/PHs.

If you're looking for something new why not try a 5x5 routine? A lot of people who thought this was just for powerlifters have made good gains of it and it is very intense.

[KgTomCat]

5x5 has never worked for me, Im more of a pyramid guy...Im a strong believer in overloading the muscle

[warsteiner]

If it works for you and you able to make gains then good luck but for me this would definietly be over-training.

I'm looking for a good routine to do WHEN and IF I do Mdrol

[Rugger]

It will still be over training on Mdrol.

How many pounds have you gained since you began workout like that?

um about 10-15 in the last couple months. i stopped trying to gain weight now cuz im preparing to cut again, but i still increase strength regularly. granted ive been training with alot of intensity for a while, but still, my body doesnt even seem to be responding as well to it. i add supersets and drop sets when necessary too. i think it all depends man
