i’m about to start a MAG10 cycle and i’d like to train in a way that will optimize the results while on it.
i’m considering doing a high volume-high intensity program such as 10-20 sets of 3/4 reps per muscle group.
i also train almost every day. i always stop one or two reps short of failure. this way, i minimize the stress on my CNS and can keep training and only take a break when i feel i need one.
i’ve never trained for specific goals (mass, strengh…) except when i was a ‘‘young’’ ball player.
Obviously, at the moment, my aim is to gain some lean muscle mass.
i must confess that i dislike high reps scheme and it just doesn’t motivate me to hit the gym.
still, i’d consider doing this sort of training if it would induce better gains.
any other pointers on how to use MAG10 would be greatly appreciated (although this is not the right forum for this).
First off as my usual I want to stress your diet in being your #1 factor to your success. You MUST have this in line. This is no time in my opinion to just eat whatever you want. A big clean bulk is the way to go. If you need more particulars on that just holler and many of us will I’m sure chime in.
On the training I will be short and simple, and tell you something you probably dont want to hear. While the Mag 10 is going to elicte growth alone, by you adding on top of that a stimulus rarly used by you, something unfamiliar you should shoot up like a weed. I did much the same on my last cycle, changing to a high rep scheme. It worked I never use them (rarely) But it will for sure get thrown in 1-2 time a year from now on.
Check out the Growth Surge Project that came with the Mag 10.
Hope this helps, Come on back for anything further,
