Hello everyone,
I have done a few HST cycles in the past, but have not been working out at all for the past few months. During my previous cycles, I saw a few gains, such as gaining five pounds over the entire cycle, etc. but nothing major.
I was wondering if you all would be willing to make a few recommendations, and help me set up my exercises for the cycle that I am planning to start in a few days.
My main goal is to develop as much mass as possible during the six weeks of training. Strength will definitely be a plus as well ?. I will be adjusting my diet to include 4700 calories / 250 grams of protein daily.
My current stats:
Age: 22
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 145lbs
Bicep: 12”
Chest: 37”
Quad: 17”
Calves: 13”
I definitely have an ectomorphic body type, and have a very hard time gaining and maintaining mass.
On my previous HST Cycles, I was doing the following exercises / weights, for two sets 15 reps, first workout:
Squats-125
Calf Raise -180
Bench Press – 90
Lat Pull Down – 100
Shoulder Press (Military) – 60
Preacher Curls – 35
Shrugs – 55
Tricep Push Down – 110
Cruch – 15
Leg Extension – 85
Leg Curls – 50
Any advice would definitely be appreciated, regarding the exercises, weights, etc. as well as diet. As far as supplements go, I plan to take NO-Xplode, along with my protein and multi-vitamins.
One specific question I have – I have been doing flat bench presses. Should I do incline bench instead, especially since I feel like the “top” of my pecs in underdeveloped? If so, how should I adjust the weight?
Thanks for your help in advance. If anyone wishes, I will gladly post a log of this cycle as I progress through it.
