Quick question.. I break my worksouts into 1 body part a day 6 days a week. Shoulders/calves ; chest ; back ; legs ; arms ; abs .... I tear it down good 1 body part a week.. is this good to do on a cycle, are should I be doing a push/pull and try to hit body parts 2x a week? What is your workout structure when on a cycle? Personal experience / suggestions?
You only take off 1 day a week?Quote:

Its not just your muscles that need a break. Your CNS (central nervous system) and your tendons need a break too.Quote:

I realize this also...but how does one explain how bodybuilders spend hour after hour..day after day in the gym and grow to be inhuman?Quote:

but my initial question is, how do you structure your workouts on cycle? give me an example if you can.
This question will get you a MILLION different answers as their is NO correct answer. It will be different for everyone. From what you posted it looks like you have great genetics.Quote:

You will blow up on this cycle if done correctly. So if you are growing now DONT change it to something you havent tried before.
while on cycle..you recover quicker..therefor you can train more then when u are off...however..important not to overtrain
yea, ive honestly never experienced overtraining.. ive always grown, but ill stick with the... if its not broke dont fix it... I'd like to get some opinions on my post titled "excited" if someone can give some feed back. Thanks for the feedback on this post.
I think, if it works for then go ahead especially if you getting a cycle. But you need to change things up alittle this is what I do.
Mon: chest and triceps
Tue: legs
Wed:shoulder
Thur: back and biceps
Fri: chest again only because I think my chest is lagging.
