I have had good results from this workout schedule, I have been following it for some time and I can tell you it is one of the best I have worked with, (For Me at least). But I am skeptical weather this is compatible with AAS running through my system.

I have had good results from this workout schedule, I have been following it for some time and I can tell you it is one of the best I have worked with, (For Me at least). But I am skeptical weather this is compatible with AAS running through my system.

Glad to hear you had good results with the program.

Improper Training

However, the title of this should be Improper Training. The program doesn't makes sense.

Let's breaking it down.

Muscle Recovery

You allow muscle groups at least 48 hours of rest for recovery to take place.

You program allows 24 hours of recovery. This is not sufficient time for recovery to take place.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday

On each of these days you are working each of these muscle groups: Shoulders, Chest, Back, Triceps and Biceps.

Pressing Movements: These movement work the anterior deltoid, triceps and chest.

Pulling Movements: These exercise work the posterior deltoid, biceps and lats.

Thus, you are pounding the crap out of these muscle groups on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Wednesday/Saturday

This is your, "Thighs, Calves, Lower Back"

However, you're deadlift work on Monday and Thursday.

You squat and deadlift on Wednesday and Saturday.

That means you end up working your legs (quads/hamstrings) and lower back Wednesday and Thursday, two days in a row.

Annihilate

The program you posted is counter productive to increasing muscle mass and/or strength.

Working the same muscle groups on consecutive days decreases muscle mass and strength.

Stimulate

One of the keys to increasing muscle mass and/or strength is to provide stimulation for growth.

Recovery

One stimulation is effected, you then need to provide enough recovery time for the muscles to heal and grow.

Intensity

Another major key to increasing muscle mass and/or strength is to push as much weight for reps as you can.

Pyramid Sets

Pyramid sets like your: 15 - 10 - 8- 6 program tend to burn you out before you reach your top, most productive set.

Reverse Pyramid

A more effective method that insure you push the heaviest load for the most reps is the Reverse Pyramid.

Warm Up Sets: 5-3-1-1. The push the top set for as many reps as you can.

Drop Sets: After your top set, perform a drop set and push it hard.

With that said, you don't want to push it to the max every workout.

Periodization

This is all about ramping the intensity up. You start with a light easy week. The following week is a moderately hard week.

Periodization cycles of 3 -6 weeks work best.

Number of Exercises

Also, you have too many exercise in your daily training program.

I admire you ambition but it need to be curbed with more logical choices.
