I have tried cycling my training and it seems to be working very well as well as making my muscles more dense.
What i do:
4-8 weeks of my normal training. This involves 3 days a week of heavy weights of between 4-7 reps to failure. 2-3 muscle groups a day. This builds strength and size.
1-3 weeks of lighter training. So every day training. Medium weights at 15- 20 reps ideally to failure. This builds density and lets the slow twitch muscles recover. It also builds recovery time. You may not experience strength gain in this phase. If you lose strength or size then reduce this phase next time from 3 to 2 weeks or whatever. This should help cut you up too.
1 (maybe 2) weeks of very heavy weights of 1-2 reps to failure. 3 times a week. (beware of injury and carryout all with extreme caution.)
You will need to vary this to suit your body type and mix it up a bit. When you hit a wall with strength then do a week or 2 of lighter weights. Just try to mix it all up so you shock your body into growth.
Light ab and back exercises to be done most days with 1 or 2 days off a week.
Hope this works for you.
