make your boy 1 im in the same situation
started at 8664

always do two exercises at this level(to prevent stalling)

1) when complete up the first 6 rep to 8 like this: 8864

2)then the next time up the 4 to 6: 8866

3)then add a set of 4: 88664

then repeat 1: 88864

as of now i am just now completing 8888864

as far as weights, the first set should be 50% of the max weight, the last two should be the next to last heaviest weights(in my case 45s and 50s) so for me it is for bench

8: 25lb > 888:35 > 8:40 > 6:45 > 4:50

i intend to stop at 7 sets of 8. Upon hitting that point and adding weight to my dips/chins at 7 sets of 8 ill be exactly where i was during my cycle

its not perfect but its worked so far, its somewhat like a pyramid. the idea is each time you add a "4" its a higher weight

Pardon my ignorance on the topic but, why the fukk in this day and age do people still take "steroids"? :mindblown: shyt is as reckless and inexcusable as knowingly trying out crack cocaine but thinking "it'll be different for you". I sit here and read a thread like this and see all this shyt about "my thyroid is probably shot" and stories like the OP and I can't help but wonder what the hell did yall think was going to happen :what: you're taking steroids. And for what :mindblown:

p*ssy? :what:

still 178 but about to throw the weight vest on

FBench is about to swap to hip pushups and S Press is about to swap to pike press :shaq:

clarifications, my lunges are explosive. They will also be built up with the weight vest until i eventually start doing explosive burpees(jump)

still uncertain of the effects of the vest on the latter moves :patrice:

as of right now the sets have been

F Bench, Row
sets 1-3 > 35lb
4-5 > 45lb
6-7 > 50lb

Curl, Sh Press, Upright Row
sets 1-3 > 25lb
4-5 > 30lb
6-7 > 35lb

Stiff Legs
1-7 > 50lb

15-25lb increases across the board since starting along with the obvious rep increases

goal is to be doing no less than 35lbs on warm up sets by the end with 50lb maxes. At that point I will go back to PHAT at the local rec

u know im retarded im talking bout sum step by step stuff like how much cardio and what type of compound movements or can u point to a good workout :feedme:
ill break it down roughly what im doing

cardio: do 30-45min at moderate intensity 3-4 days a week

lifts: Flat bench, Row(using a bench), Curls, Lat Pulldown(if have machine), Shoulder Press, Upright row, Lunges, Stiff Leg Deadlifts, Dips(if have equipment, otherwise pushups at the end of workout til failure), Chinups (if have equipment)
look them up here http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html you can find form and everything

if you can, get a pull up bar rather than the lat pull downs. If you cant do dips or chins > do pushups and lat pull down.

Before you start, figure out whats the heaviest weight you can push/pull for each exercise for 8 reps. Whatever that weight is the last work set will be the weight two settings less than this.

Workout A
Flat Bench - Sets 4 - Reps 8, 6, 6, 4
Row - Sets 4 - Reps 8, 6, 6, 4
Curls(each arm) - Sets 4 - Reps 8, 6, 6, 4
Lunges(each leg) Sets 4 - Reps 8, 6, 6, 4
Dips/Pushups - Sets as many as you can - Reps til Failure

Workout B
Shoulder Press Sets 4 - Reps 8, 6, 6, 4
Stiff Leg Deadlift Sets 4 - Reps 8, 6, 6, 4
Upright Row Sets 4 - Reps 8, 6, 6, 4
Lunges(each leg) Sets 4 - Reps 8, 6, 6, 4
Chinups/Lat Pull down - Sets as many as you can - Reps til failure

Rotate doing Workout A and B every other day (so one week you may have 3 workouts the next will be 4 and so forth)

Progression:
the last set needs to be the second to last heaviest weight you can do. The first set should be 15-20lbs less than this. If the first workout is too light, increase the weight across the board and do it again the next time in. Once you know your starting point go ahead and write down where youre supposed to be at for each workout going in. Dont do it arbitrarily, set the goal and push the weight. If you are not feeling it by the end increase the warmup sets first
Upon completing a workout, add 2 reps to the second set. Once complete add a new set of 4
Keep adding 2 reps to each set until you have 8 > 8 > 8 > 8 > 6 > 4
eventually you will have 6-7 sets of 8. Every 2 weeks increase the weight of the first set to the weight of the second and then the first and second to the third
Example
Week 1
20lb > 25lb > 30lb > 35lb
Week 3
25lb > 25lb > 30lb > 35lb > 40lb
Week 5
30lb > 30lb > 30lb > 35lb > 40lb > 45lb
Week 7
35lb > 35lb > 35lb > 35lb > 40lb > 45 lb > 50lb
Week 9
40lb > 40lb > 40lb > 40lb > 40lb > 45lb > 50lb(maxed out on weight)
and then increase to 45, then to 50 on the following weeks

So at any given time you are adding weight and reps to the routine. Once you are banging out 50lbs on everything its time to find a new routine or add more reps on and push it to 10, 12 etc. Ive found that 8 is a nice sweet spot.
