Switching up rep range
I知 going switch up my rep range for the next month leading into my cycle. Been hitting lower range of 5-8 and going heavy to naturally stimulate my testosterone production as I知 in PCT and will be switching to 15-20 range for the next month as I知 past the 10 week post pin. Just wanted to know y誕ll opinion on this?

My input is this.
I am sure u wanna be lean.
I have found that doing burst sets of HIIT
At Lower rep ranges of 9 at most and may be 10-15 at burn out period work best.
My example is this I recomend
Start workout warm up with 15-20 reps.
Do your strength and size building exercise first in a way that u start at 12 reps then 9 then down to 4 sets of 6 reps
Drop set to 2 sets of 8-9
After that set up Circut style groups of 3 exercises
Example
If u working chest knock out bench press in fashion posted above this is your STREGTH and SIZE exercise. Take 90 sec between sets.
Next design circuits
Incline bench 4x6-7
Bicep rope curls 4x8
Pec deck 4x6-7
Do them back to back 1 set of each then take a walk drink water but fast and start again till u go thru all at 4 sets
This will give u break off larger muscle while load on smaller muscle then load back on larger muscle
Next Circut
Decline bench press 4x6
Db curls 4x7
Cable cross 4x7
Abs loaded machine 4x15
Do all like other Circut bam bam bam bam..
Next
Dips shifted forward 4x7-8
Preacher curl 4x7
Db fly 4x12 ligher burn out
Abs 4x15 hanging leg raises.
U should be done if not work db rack on biceps hammer curls till dead
Go back to cable cross and go till dead
This is a 2 day 1 off
Work chest with biceps and Abs
Work back with triceps in same fashion
Work shoulders with calves and abs same fashion
Work legs thighs, hams and glutes
Get legs good take appropriate rest on legs at end go to Eliptical on upper mid level and do 15 minutes and cool down on Lower level included in 15 minute time
This style workout u will build cardio and time needed to rest between contractions.
U will only switch load to rest larger muscle to give it enougb time to nail it more.
I alternate and add when it gets easier.
Over time as you are able to do the first STREGTH part then rest for 45minutes all most non stop u will see big big changes in physique.
At first u won't be able to do it but changes follow as u can do more and more.
This will keep your breathing labored and heart rate up.
With gear added like u said u are starting your muscles will respond while your bf will slowly go down.
I modify and adjust accordingly but never in a way that is easier. U gotta push and push and contractions will be painful and not like s pump!! Push through with the cardio u building and big changes will come.
This way u get best of both worlds and plenty of volume while keeping rep range as a burst of failure then recover in smaller and burst again.
U wanna explode each time.
Hope u explained corect. It's hard but don't avoid, hard and pushing thru gives results
And straining to only recover and get less contractions in has never been as affective as this HIIT style.
I use this variation of HIIT switching load without ever a full rest on body.
I don't do the Sprint and jump rope type smaller build guys use as cross fit.....

I used to do a lot of Circuit training back when I ran. That痴 s good idea to set up three again and hit it. And that痴 my whole intention with the higher rep range while I知 not on gear is to keep heart rate higher with more emphasis on speed and less down time to really explode my workout. Kinda tough in my crowded gym but I知 definitely going to give that a go. Anything to shock the body. I was happy to hold on to my strength in PCT and now I want to bring back the pop!
