Hello Everybody,
I have read through this forum but I can not find any answers to the following questions with regards to the 6 Week Hypertrophy Cycle that I read on Beyond Bodybuilding. If you would be so kind, I would greatly appreciate your help. Please keep in mind that my vain goal is to gain as much size as possible.
So, as I am guessing you already know, this is the program:
2 exercises: Benchpress and Deadlift.
Monday (50% 10RM x 5, 75% 10RM x 5, 100% 10RM x 5) x max
Wednesday (50% 10RM x 5) x the number of series performed on Monday
Friday (50% 10RM x 5, 75% 10RM x 5) x the number of series
performed on Monday
My questions are the following:
1)- It says to NOT do any other exercises and even specifies no calves. I have very skinny calves. They are pathetic. Shouldn't´t I just add that exercise? Or is it really going to be counterproductive?
2) I understand that both exercises are compound and they work a lot of main muscles, however, the deadlift which would correspond to the back exercise does not work your lats as far as I understand. Once again, I have no lats.
3) What am I supposed to do after the 6 weeks are over? Should I go to a strength program and then go back again on the 6 week cycle?
4) Is it ok if I box on in between days?
Thank you for your help,
Fernando
