that's a lot of volume, do you plan a rest day in between? i'd drop close grips from A, and the cable curls from B. you're getting plenty of chest work from the flat bench and flyes, and tri work from the flat bench, presses and the pushdowns in A. bi's are getting hit pretty heavy in B from the BB and preachers, the chins and also the rows. just because you're on cycle doesn't mean you're superman, you still have to recover.

good luck...

Thanks for your advice bro! i will train Mon, Wed, Fri (was thinking of doing Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun, Thu, Thur, Sat, Mon, so i can get 4 times a week, but maybe ill need the Weekend for recovery? What do you think?)

If you or anyone else can Critique my Diet check out: my bulking diet thread on Nutrition, woul have linked it but nowhere near 50 posts.
 
Could this program maybe be to much? My left shoulder was killing me in the beginning of Workout B last night, i had to drop Lateral Raise because of it
I started my cycle two weeks ago(only Test E.) But im not sure, as i maybe my recovery will be much improved when my cycle kicks in?
 
Honestly that program looks like either a power lifters pleasure, or it's modified for gear use. Bench, squat, and deads in one day is terrifyingly harsh, I can't imagine your strength staying up after 1, let alone all 3. I tank you should go back to basics and make a push/pull/leg routine by yourself
 
I might modify it something like this:

A
Deadlift
Over head press
Pulls ups
Ancillary (triceps, hamstrings, rear delts, mid traps, shrugs, etc.)
Core (glutes, anti-trunk flexion, rotational)

B
Squat
Bench Press
Rows
Ancillary (biceps, mid-traps, lower traps, single leg quad movement, etc.)
Core (hip abductors, anti-rotation, abs, etc.)

Or something to that extent. Rotate around your ancillary and core movements every few workouts.

I love SS, but I do wonder: If you have advanced to the point where your doing a cycle, why are you still doing SS?
