I found this video from John Meadows to be very helpful in 'feeling' the lat and being able to more intentionally activate it when training back.
Back Activation - How to Feel Your Lat
Learning to use the lat for the work also made it much easier for me to feel when I was using too much weight...
1. I think DBOL would be best used from weeks 3-9. The test should be kicking in and the stack is more effective in terms of holding onto the gains than using it as a kick start in my opinion. I'd take the DBOL before your workout if you're only going to take 20mg a day.
2. I'm not qualified to...
After I warm up, the workouts are usually right at an hour. The pump days are a little less due to shorter rest intervals (60 vs 90 seconds).
I'd say based on what your priorities are you could also drop one of the major lifts/accessory work bits if you're in a rush.
FWIW I've also been...
Only thing I'd add is that if you're looking to add thickness to your back, you might be better off going:
Tuesday - Back
Weds - Chest
Thurs - Legs
That way you'll give your lower back a day off between back and legs if you're doing heavy rows or rack pulls or other stuff that's going to get...
I'm on week 4 of John Meadow's Creeping Death and loving it. You can find it free online if you're interested. It's a PPL with two 'pump' days to address weak points/stuff you want to prioritize. Feels great.
Started Creeping Death last week and just learned today that John has passed away. Everyone here has learned from him, so thought I'd share.
Pro Bodybuilder John Meadows Unexpectedly Dead at 49
Just heard the news that John Meadows died and thought I'd post. I always found his videos to be super informative and had just started his Creeping Death program two weeks ago. Crazy.

I think I speak for more than just myself saying he'll...
^ Completely agree with Dustin. Using gear before you understand training and nutrition and have a solid base is like putting race car fuel in a car that needs a lot of work.
I agree that you should be doing dips and shouldn't be pressing on back to back days. You should also be doing more...
Just dbol or are you stacking it with test?
I've never run a dbol only cycle, but when I run it with test I do it a little differently than the standard 'kickstart at the beginning' recommendation.
I've had more success running the test for 2-3 weeks, until I'm really feeling it and starting...
I usually go a little closer to the body than 45 degrees. I usually don't use barbells for pushing due to getting my left arm destroyed in a car crash, but I find that they don't aggravate my shoulders as much when I do my CGBP on slight to moderate incline.
I'll second what others have said...
I've always felt like quinoa was the carb that took my workouts to the next level. You get the carbs, plus all nine aminos, and I usually cook mine in chicken stock with some added salt, so it all works well to promote strength. It seems to promote a better pump than other carbs imo but that...
I treat a lot of my veggies like pieces of meat and marinate for an hour or two before grilling/roasting. Mix in some diced garlic and onion then season with spices of your choice. I'm partial to vegetable seasoning, some cayenne pepper, onion salt, and cumin. Toss it all in a bag with some...
^ This has worked for me as well. In addition to a post-workout shake and banana, I usually drink at least a half a gallon of milk per day. Easy way to get in those calories and some easy protein if you tolerate lactose well.
