I'm about to run an EPISTANE cycle for 5 weeks.
I know that volume can be beneficial when higher while on cycle and that working in a higher rep range like 6-12 is best but how would you guys structure your split?
I was thinking of working out 4 days a week with 2 days of cardio at 30 mins LISS
I'd be doing 3 full body workouts with 18 sets per workout M/W/F and on Saturday I'd do a weak point training day of 12 sets altogether.
I would like to gain some strength also so I'm thinking of doing
Monday 2 sets per exercise 4-6 reps rest 2 mins
Wednesday 2 sets per exercise 6-10 reps rest 90 seconds
Friday 2 sets per exercise 10-12 reps rest 30 seconds
Saturday(weak point training)
3 sets per exercise.Reps:4/8/12
then post cycle switching to a 3 day split and focusing on strength(MAX-OT style reps 4-6)
Monday
Chest+Shoulders+Triceps+Traps(my best bodyparts)
Flat Barbell Press 2x4-6
Incline DB Press 2x4-6
DB Shoulder Press 2x4-6
CG Bench Press 2x4-6
Barbell Shrugs 2x4-6
Wednesday
Back+Biceps
Pull-ups 3x6-10
Barbell Rows 3x4-6
Weighted Hyperextensions(herniated disk so no deadlifts) 3x6-10
Barbell Curls 3x4-6
Legs
Squats 3x4-6
SLDL 3x4-6
Glute Ham Raise 3x as amny as possible
Leg Press 3x25-35(always work in this range)
Hack Calf Raises 3x25-35
Kcal will be upped by 250kcal post cycle.Kcal for the cycle will more than likely be 4500kcal to start with ,increasing each week by 150-250kcal.
Thoughts?
