    I am not sure if the second program i outlined would put too much stress on my CNS. I am only supplementing 4 days a week, when i lift now, 80g of protein from N-Large 2 by ProLab, and Glutamine by MET-RX 10g -- all for 4 days a week, i would obviously do these dosages 6 times a week If i lifted 6 days.

    I would also do this second program for 4 weeks and take a week off then do it again like that, 4 weeks on 1 week off. I am open to critiques of both or one routine and what would lend itself to getting the biggest and most massive possible. My goal is size and mass.


    Squat: 5x5: 295lbs
    Bench: 1x4: 275
    Dead: 1x1: 475

    Do not llisten to what Ronnie Coleman supposedly does, you qare not him. you aren't on the drugs he is on are you. You do not need to train 6 days a week, that would be overtraining bro, you need your rest days more than you need gym time. 4 days/week is enough, you could get away with 3 even and still gain. there si nothing wrong with mixing things up and throwing in a week where you go heavier or more intense but 6 days a week for 4 weeks in a row is too much man. you don't grow in the gym, you grow during recovery time!
