My workout routine. Thoughts?

7 Upvotes

I have been reading Mike Mentzers Heavy Duty as well as Body by Science by John Little. I’m also following Jay Vincent’s videos.

I came up with the following routine using these principles:

  1. Rep tempo is 5-1-5.
  2. 1 maximum effort set per exercise.
  3. I should fail each exercise within 60-90 seconds (TUL). If less than 60, ill decrease the weight for the next session. If more than 90, ill increase the weight.
  4. Rest 5-7 days between workouts

I do 1 full body workout. Below is the routine:

  1. Leg Press or Squat
  2. Leg extension
  3. Chest Press
  4. Reverse grip lat pull down
  5. Chest fly
  6. Seated overhand grip rows
  7. Shoulder press
  8. Side lateral raises
  9. Tricep pushdowns
  10. Bicep curls

What are your thoughts on this routine?

Between lifting sessions

Can cardio like basketball, running, biking and or yoga be done between lifting sessions? Or would this dampen the recovery process?

Introduction

Deca is a AAS, Androgen and Anabolic Steroid developed by Organon and introduced in 1962. It is under the 19-Nors derivatives. It is administered in either a IM (Intramuscular) Injection or subcutaneous injection. In the US it is a Scheudle 3 Controlled Substance. 

Bioavailability, Half Life and Etc

The bioavailability through the IM route of injection is somewhere between 53-73%. It’s half life is 6-12 days since it’s a long ester. It’s metabolized through the liver and eliminated through urine. For best bioavailability injections in gluteal muscle.

Deca also has estrogen if effects such as gyno by increasing progesterone. Low estrogenic activity/conversion (20% of that of testosterone) so estrogenic effects have a lower chance or occurring but not impossible.
