Day6- rest

Day7- heavy cardio/soccer game

... then i start all over and as previously stated i get in about 15 min of light cardio before i workout. The reason i do a warmup set for each exercise is so that i can really get a feel for exactly how to use my muscles for that exercise before i increase weight. and btw i am currently all natural, only one cycle and its been like 3 years, no supplements but whey protein and a pretty clean diet for the most part. These workouts generally take 1.5 hrs. I like feeling exhausted when i leave like i have nothing left and for me it seems to work fairly well.... any advice would be greatly appreciated!
 
First of all, i dont like the idea of doing 6 reps and increasing the weight each time, the main point in hypertrophy is to stress your muscle and get it tired and exploded. If your goal is hypertrophy I would clearly try to find your max weight for the first set of 6reps, than lower the weight to get up to 6 reps not the inverse. Because I can bet 1k$ than on your second set of 6 reps you could have clearly done more than 6 reps, so you don't get your muscle to a real "maximal rep" set

I.e., your first set you heat up with 135lbs 2-0-2 tempo since you're hitting 15 reps.
On the second set i.e. you can do 225 x 6 and that's your max well go ahead for 225 with a 3-0-2 tempo since you're only hitting 5-7reps. Than if you hit 4-5 MAX reps lower a little bit the weight to stay in the range of 5-7 and if you hit 6-7 MAX reps, keep the same weight for the 3rd set, and you will clearly lower it on the last. If you don't you are not doing maximal reps.

Before commenting somemore i'd like do know what's your main goal...


EDIT : You should CLEARLY read the check list about roids before hitting it, seriously... your training need some REAL adjustments before doing roids and i'd say how about your nutrition... anyway let me know asap!
