Okay doodes!!!- Thanks for giving me SHIT on my goals! Hahahaha
I know that's not realistic, but I like to shoot high. I def appreciate your input and will take it to heart - this will def evolve over the next 3 weeks until i settle into the "routine."

here's the biggest challenges i face - I'll appreciate any suggestions/criticism:1. I love going to lift (6 days is really a minimum these days - overtraining?) - I have to force myself to take days off - I get a "ZEN" high from it(Dopamine?Endorphins?) that keeps my sanity (I have a very hectic life!)2. Sat & Sun I always workout with a bunch of guys at the gym - It's intense fun, but I don't have control over the workout 'cause it is a circuit and one of the guys (a trainer) calls the shots. We always do 6 sets(circuits)
Sat:Chest & back (DB bench; DB incline bench; 1 arm rows; tbar rows;HS decline bench; wide grip cable pull downs.) The goal is always 12-20 reps per set
Sun:Legs - squats; Gorilla squats, leg press hack squats, walking lunges w/ 50lb BB. The workout is non stop for 50 mins - I am sure my heartrate gets up to about 140-150 and stays there for the whole time.
I don't know if this style of working out supports my goals (size)...any thots?3. Diet - i do pretty good here but gain fat when I add in too many carbs. (Just finished a CKD which was successful 2.5% drop in BF) My metabolism isn't the same as 20 years ago. I get 7-8 meals a day - not huge ones but for example Oatmeal & scrambled eggs; some veggies & 8 oz chicken breast; steak & celery; protein shakes (2) cottage cheese, etc.


Anyways - I know i'll do "okay" with this cycle, but I would really like to maximize it's effectiveness and get bigger, leaner and meaner (ok joking about the meaner part) I don't want to get up to 235 and 17% BF only to cut down to 205/210 and 13% I don't have time to mess around any more with workouts/cycle that don't get results.

Whoa - so that was an epistle - hope some of you are still reading.

On a positive note.... did flat bench today and hit 205 for the first time in 20 years - 4 reps - felt pretty damn good ( bet not many of you can match that! - i mean the 20 year part LOL.) Also did incline bench at 155 and could have gone heavier w/ a spotter. test is def kicking in big time - way faster than last cycle! and no orals this time so i dont have that puffy look....

Thanks guys.
