Default Please Critique My New Routine.

A little about me...
Age: 19
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 185lbs
Goal: fat loss
Supplements: Whey protein and a multivitamin
AAS cycle: It's only really 6 weeks long. I'm using the stanozolol for 2 weeks after I'm off the test to aid in PCT (because of the possible anti-estrogen effect of it) to help keep more of my gains.
Week 1: 50 mg/day stanozolol, 500 mg/week test cyp
Week 2: 50 mg/day stanozolol, 500 mg/week test cyp
Week 3: 500 mg/week test cyp test cyp
Week 4: 500 mg/week test cyp test cyp
Week 5: 120mcg clenbuterol/day, 500 mg/week test cyp
Week 6: 120mcg clenbuterol/day
Week 7: Nothing
Week 8: 50 mg/day stanozolol, PCT
Week 9: 120mcg clenbuterol/day, 50 mg/day stanozolol, PCT
Week 10: 120mcg clenbuterol/day
Week 11: Nothing
Week 12: Nothing
Week 13: 120mcg clenbuterol/day
Week 14: 120mcg clenbuterol/day


First off, I'm a firm believer in that gaining muscle and losing fat CAN be accomplished at the same time, although at a slower rate than if bulking or cutting, and noone is going to change my mind. I'm right now eating just below my maintenance level. I've been on the same routine for 6 weeks or so and my mass gains were leveling out, so it was time for a change. Here's the routine I'm starting today. I know there are a ton of sets on most days, but while on the test it's not difficult to do at all. After week 10 I will revamp the routine again replacing some exercises and lowering the sets on most exercises. I'm just looking for some constructive criticism on my routine, and anything else you might want to add. Any and all input is welcomed.

Also, do you guys think 2 weeks of PCT is enough since I only did 5 weeks of 500mg test?

Ok, sounds like your routine is fine but I've worked with kids like you and Im still workin with a few who have or are still on cycle. At the age of 19 ur basically testosterone freak additional testosterone will be counter productive to you. It wont give you the same gains lasting gains than the 19 year old who trains hard and correctly. Eats enough and gets enough rest. I've taken kids such as ur self beyond what there steroid using counterparts are. Without steroids. Educate ur self. Put ur time in the gym. What u put into it u will get back and dont take short cuts.

Don't cut your PCT short. It's not worth it...you might as well go 3 or 4 weeks...if I were you, I would go four. If you do two weeks, it might be too short. If you go four weeks, then you shouldn't have to worry. I would do it just for peace of mind...there is absolutely no reason to take a minimalistic approach to PCT.

I hate arm days personally. I would move traps and biceps to your back day. Then do triceps on your shoulder day or chest day. And make Day 5 a leg day. Let me know what your thoughts are on this.

EDIT: WHOA, did not notice you're 19. Stay away from that stuff. I agree 100% with dieselrock. Don't mess up your body...you're too young. And you have tons of room to improve naturally. You would be cheating yourself if you did a cycle right now.
