whats going on guys, wanting to get some feedback from the more experienced users and vets of the board on a routine I have put together for my test E/ eq cycle i will be starting in two weeks. What I am posting here is the result of my OCD and countless hours of planning during cardio when I was dieting because I had nothing else to do :P, so this may be a long read.

Some background info:
-24 yrs old - 25 next month :(
-currently ending a cut at 5'8 178 lbs ~8% bf, the next two weeks will be spent deloading, slowly adding calories/ decreasing cardio, and doing self myofascial therapy 3x per week to do everything I can to prevent injury during cycle and make sure everything is ready to go.
-been training seriously for roughly 7 years now, trained natural for 6 of those years and now going into my 3rd cycle

cycle info:
1-16: test e 500 mg/wk
1-16: eq 600 mg/wk
1-4, 17-19: test prop 100 mg EOD
1-4: igf des + mgf
2-24: .25 mg arimadex EOD (start day 7), if nips sore .5 eod, if still sore .5 ED
11-19: hcg 500 IU/wk stop 7 days before pct
PCT: 20-23: Clomid 100/100/50/50, Nolva 40/40/20/20, aromasin 6.25 mg/day igf des/ mgf
start pct 3 days after last prop shot
will be using igf des/mgf to create new stem cells (mgf) and igf to differentiate those stem cells, putting one cycle in the first four weeks so I can take advantage and hypertrophy these new muscle cells during the cycle, and adding in the second mgf/igf cycle in at PCT for an extra something to allow gains to be kept after the cycle.

diet:
the current plan is to have calories around 3500, protein 400g, carbs 275g, and fats 85g on training days. As a natural i always had a habit of eating way too fucking much while bulking, and would easily get over 20% bf while eating over 4000 calories, and have found that anything over 3000 really just made me gain too much fat, so calories will be watched very closely because I would like to stay around 10% bf this go around, but if i find i am staying lean i will absolutely increase the calories. Lately ive been curious to test the 'theory' that having higher healthy fat macros rather than carbs will be a better choice in terms of macro breakdown when it comes to anabolism, most research seems to point in this direction, since the main role of carbs is to replenish glycogen/ energy stores, and healthy fats can increase natural hormone levels (not that im too worried about that :P), and play other roles in terms of actual muscle growth, so it seems like a more optimal choice for maximal muscle gain So on non training days i plan to decrease carbs to 150g or so, increase fats to around 130g, and keep protein at 400g.
Also, instead of the typical 'bro-meal breakdown' i have followed for years of the typical 6 meals a day, eating every 2-3 hours i will instead be using 4 meals eating 4-5 hours apart excluding a pwo shake of 30g whey and 30g waxy maize, as it seems that eating less frequently actually is better for protein synthesis (ala studies from layne norton), and I love eating bigger meals :).

cardio: cardio on cycle will be 3-4x per week consisting of either 30 mins low intensity cardio or hiit for roughly 15 mins, sprints/biking uphill with 1-2 mins of lower intensity cardio in between or so

TRAINING ROUTINE: okay, now that I think all the background info has been taken care of ill actually post what the point of this thread is:
So like the title says, I plan to utilize a combination of GVT (10x10) and pyramid style training to be done as an 8 day training cycle, so 3 days of GVT, 1 day of rest, then 3 days of pyramid style, 1 day of rest, and repeat. I will also add that I plan to go 6 weeks of hard training, then 1 week of a deload and then probably switch the exercises for the next 6 weeks, etc.
I plan to layout the routine like this:
pyramid training: 5 working sets per exercise, 3-4 exercises per body part - 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 reps - or 15, 12, 10, 8, 6 for isolation exercises. (After four weeks or so may add in 4 drop sets of 6, 8, 10, 12 for each exercise)- rest 1-3 mins between sets, 3 mins for movements like squat/dl
GVT: 10x10 for each bodypart - rest 60-90 secs between sets
Day 1: Back/Bi
- Rack Pulls 10x10 (May reduce to 10x3 depending on recovery)
- Pullups 10x10
- BB shrugs 4x12 (may throw these out)
- 10x10 db seated curls
- 3 sets rear delt

Day 2: Chest/tri/ shoulders
-10x10 flat db bench
-10x10 bb standing military press
-10x10 overhead straight cable bar pushdown
cardio

Day 3: Legs/abs
-10x10 atg squats
-10x10 glute ham raise
-5x3 seated calf raise
-4 sets weighted decline situps

Day 4: rest/ cardio

Day 5: back/bi
-Deadlift x12,10,8,6,4
-vbar pulldowns x12,10,8,6,4
-tbar rows x12,10,8,6,4
-bb shrugs x15,12,10,8,6
-preacher curls x12,10,8,6,4
-db incline curls x15,12,10,8,6
-db hammer curls x15,12,10,8,6

Day 6: Chest/shoulder/Tri
-db incline press x12,10,8,6,4
-smith decline press x12,10,8,6,4
-db incline flies x15,12,10,8,6
-db shoulder press x12,10,8,6,4

-db skullcrushers x15,12,10,8,6
-vbar cable pushdowns x15,12,10,8,6
-ezbar french press x15,12,10,8,6

Day 7: legs/abs
-atg squat x12,10,8,6,4
-leg press x12,10,8,6,4
-bb walking lunges x15,12,10,8,6
-db straight leg dl x12,10,8,6,4
-lying leg curl x15,12,10,8,6
-standing calf 5x20
-weighted decline situps 4 sets

Day 8: rest

basically only the last set of each exercise will be taken to failure in both the 10x10 and pyramid days, and each week the goal is to add 5-10 more lbs on each lift on the compound movements, and at least fit in 1 more rep at the same weight on the isolation exercises. i tend to train to failure almost always because i hate stopping short and believe this has been detrimental to my gains over the years, so i gotta be careful about this...
So obviously i will be in the gym and training different bodyparts on different days of the week. For the first week of the cycle I will just be doing the pyramid style training, then in the beginning of week 2 is when i plan to add in the GVT, because by then I will be receiving some of the benefits of the test P to aid in recovery of so much training.

So this is the current plan for my on cycle routine that I designed to take every advantage possible of being on cycle to yield as much gains as possible, I want to have everything accounted for and ready to go, no second guesses, no stone unturned.

The goal of this cycle is pretty simple, gain as much muscle as humanly possible, while keeping fat gains to a minimum in order to put on size for my first bodybuilding show next year

So what do you guys think? I'm sure im forgetting something, but any criticism is welcome and thanks a lot if you actually read through this whole thread lmao!
