Little history. 40 years old, been doing strength training for 2 years. All I ever do are the basic barbell movements with heavy weight and low reps.
Thanks to the great community here I have decided to run my first cycle of test c.
i have added some decent mass and strength but would really like to add some chest and arm mass, that is where I am lacking the most.
I will be doing a program similar to the 5/3/1 to keep progressing on strength.
Can anyone recommend how to make the most of my first cycle as far as adding to chest and arms?
For example, on Mondays I will hit my heavy bench, then afterwards do the "other stuff" to add the size. Say I do my warm up sets of bench then my 3 heavy sets of 5 reps. Then what would you suggest for size afterwards? What lifts, how many sets and reps?
On Thursdays my main compound heavy lift is standing overhead press, same sets and reps as bench. What would you suggest after that?
On deadlift days any suggestions? That's on Friday.
I squat on Tuesdays.
To sum it up...
Monday --- bench plus what?
tuesday ---- squat plus what? (Upper body)
thursday ---- overhead press plus what?
friday --- deadlift plus what (upper body)
thanks!
