Strategic Decondiioning and new RMs

My first HST cycle consisted of 2 weeks of 15s, 2 weeks of 10s, 2 weeks of 5s and finishing with 2 weeks of 5 RM. Do I just test for my new RMs and Strategic decondition or vice-versa? I would figure find new RMs and then SD right? I feel like my RMs have definately gone up and I can't wait to come back fresh after a SD.

This is my routine, if your curious:

Squat x2 sets
Bench Press x2 sets
SLDLs x 2 sets
Bent Rows x 2 sets
Military Press x 2 sets
Barbell Curl x 1 set
Skull Crushers X 1 set
Calves

All done in 40 minutes or less and on M W F.
I'm a classic hardgainer(6'2/175 lbs.) and this seems to be the only thing that works for me. I have gotten more out of this in 8 weeks, than anything I have done in 2 years. I'm eating about 4200 cals and trying to keep it clean. I gained about 7 lbs and my pants seem to still fit the same. I have also quit doing all my cardio and only ride my bike for about 30 minutes twice a week for about 30 mins. cause I enjoy it. BTW, trying to hit 200 lbs by the end of the year and the cut any fat I put on. I have had a phobia about fat gain, but know I have just come to accept fat gain when trying to bulk and I'm cool with it. Currently I'm about 183 and 14% BF.
 
Senorx,

Congrats on a successful cycle. I think now that you have accepted the fact that you're gonna have to put a little fat on in order to put on size you'll find you were'nt as much of a hard gainer as you thought.

keep up the goodwork and goodluck,

Do you're RM before SD for sure. If you did SD then you did your RM, you would have to SD again. I personally couldn't wait that long to get back into the gym. I hate taking time off, but I know it is necessary.
