There he his. Good to hear your bloodwork is looking good and strength is still going up. 500x8… Nice!
I really like that split. Currently cycling through a similar split myself. Although, I’m splitting up quads and hamstrings on push and pull days and pulling on saturdays. Keep us updated big guy.

Thanks man. Honestly im just not sure on how much i should be doing for each bodypart. I tend to do too much i just never feel done but i know this can be counter productive.
Does anyone have any insane arm routines out there? I REALLY want to bring up my arms. I was leaning more towards some high volume/frequency type stuff

1000 Rep Arm Workout is a killer. Not something to do every week, but definitley a monthly shocker would help. My arms are stubborn too. What has been helping me has been incorporating the shock principle more frequently. Something like getting the tendons and joints warm then loading a 1RM weight on there and gritting that out. Drop down and do 2,3,4… all the way until you reach a 10RM weight.
Reviving this thread for a bit of help. I wasnt to hit everything twice a week.
Now this might sound stupid but is it better to hit all muscles in a 7 day period or is it better to hit each muscle twice in a 7 day period? Hopefully that makes sense.
Heres a basic routine that needs some tweaking probably. I want to have a heavy day and a pump day.
Chest shoulders tris- heavy
Legs calves- light
Arms shoulders- light
Off
Back bis calves- light

Let me know how this looks. Im the type that needs guidance and direction otherwise i tend to second guess if what im doing is optimal. Wish i still had a coach right about now.
Been trying to bring up the arms among other things. Im not particularly a fan of synthol but just curious if anyone has experience with it. Arms look ok in some shots and not so good in others.

Thanks. I just want biceps to peak more but i think the main growth needs to come from triceps though. Just not sure if synthol would even be worth it.
I don’t think synthol will give you a biceps peak. From my understanding the peak is primarily genetics driven. Even if synthol did somehow help the peak, I seriously doubt it would look authentic; just look up a few of the synthol abuse threads on the forums if you doubt me. As for advice, I doubt you’re going to get any tips from T-Nation on synthol; the boards seem pretty much against it.
Just keep hammering away at your arms. Focus on the underlying brachialis muscle to max the biceps and focus on triceps for overall arm size. Besides that, whatever else you’re doing in the gym is clearly working.

Im leaning more towards not using it. The protocol recommended to me is very conservative. Like half a cc 3 to 4 times a week which goes againt every protocol ive read about but maybe thats why its better?
For you that recommend no, what are the reasons. Please convince me cause i dont really wanna pin my damn arms lol.
