I am starting Test-E/Tren-E cycle on June 4th and I am trying to hit Chest and Back twice a week. How does this split look to you guys? I would obviously cut the volume down on those days since I am hitting it twice a week. I am also kind of worried about the recovery time since I will be cycling my carbohydrates. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Monday: Chest/Biceps
Tuesday: Back/Triceps
Wednsday: Legs
Thursday: Shoulders
Friday: Chest/Biceps
Saturday: Back/Triceps
Sunday: Off

6 days straight is too much for most natural lifters - you need at least 1 more rest day in there. Also, the ratio of upper-body to lower-body work is very unbalanced. I'd add more leg work.

Thank you for your opinion I am trying my best to come up w/ a new split. Btw I am not natural. I been cycling injectable gear for 2 years and PHs before that.

Well that changes things. :) If you're on cycle, then yeah you can probably get away with a 6-day split. In that case, my favorite split is just a simple Push/Pull/Legs routine done twice per week.

I still would recommend increasing your leg work, just to keep things balanced. You could do something like:

Chest/Bis
Back/Tris
Legs/Shoulders
Repeat

Not meant to thread jack but i have seen a few people pair back tris and chest bis is this because your tries would be too worn out to hit hard after chest? But wouldnt that hinder your back day since your bis would have been hit the day before?
 
You could always put legs in between the chest/bi and back/tri so it gives a day between upper body movements.

If you're not definite on 6 workouts a week, try this split:
Monday: back/tri/shoulders
Tuesday: rest
Wednesday: chest/bi
Thursday: rest
Friday: legs
Saturday: rest
Sunday: rest

It could help with your carb cycling as well since you have days where you're not balls to the wall with the weights.

Remember... You grow when you rest.
Eat like a horse, train like a madman, rest like a bear in winter.
 
Since youll be on cycle, you could always give Destroy And Flood a try. It'll test your limits and show huge improvements on compound lifts. PM for the program details if google isn't helpful. I have it saved in my phone.

I'm running that program and logging it on here too. I'm doing it natural and it's crushing me

It comes down to personal preference. I prefer to hit Back with bis and Chest with tris, but if OP likes Chest/Bis, Back/Tris, that works too. Bis and tris are smaller muscle groups, so unless you just destroy them, they'll recover fine for the next day.

Good to know thanks for the feedback
 
I am going to google Destroy and Flood and see what I pick up if not I will deff PM you for details I am always interested in learning new things.

I actually came up with another 6 day workout routine. I know rest is important and 1 rest day is not enough but I want to take advantage of not being natural and jumping back on cycle June 4th

Monday: Chest/Tri
Tuesday: Back/Bi
Wednesday: Shoulders/Quads
Thursday: OFF
Friday: Chest/Tri
Saturday: Back/Bi
Sunday: Shoulders/Hamstrings
 
Calves? :)

Yes I am! That's why I posted this thread to get some advice. I was told that if you want to train your body 2x a week you must cut your volume/sets
 
Just because you're on gear doesn't mean you should ignore cardio. Sacrifice a day of weights for cardio. It's common for people to get comfortable with just killin the iron on juice.
 
Try Layne Norton's Power/Hypertrophy Split esp if your on cause you'll recover faster from the first 2 power days with the 3rd day off before hypertrophy begins...

Oh, I just assumed you didn't because it wasn't stated in your original post. My bad! Dang man your definitely pushing it. 6 days is still a ton of work. I really like getting a couple days of rest and rebuilding in/food loading.

No worries bro. If you are able to do cardio b4 breakfast I'd suggest do it. When bulking I do 3 days a week and it really keeps the sloppy weight off. Spring/summer I do it everyday even on off days. Lean machine! Haha
