Training while on gear

**Liftnainez** · 08-01-2005, 12:48 PM

Hey brothas.. I was wondering how your training routine changed while you were on cycle? What did it consist of? I know rest and recovery is a major issue- currently I work out each body part once a week.. Im thinking there should be no reason to jump it up to twice a week. A few years ago i was on a pro hormone cycle and really messed up my shoulders from overtraining. I was doing chest twice a week and then shoulders the day after chest. ( Im pretty sure this is what caused my problems) Anyway I was wondering what kind of results guys got from one body part a week training? How many sets per bodypart was being done? Rep range?
Please post all comments- very interested about this topic. THANKS SO MUCH FOR ANY INFO..

keep it toonce a week, but up the intensity. shorter rest periods, stuff like that......kill yourself in the gym

Good warm ups and only a few working sets, keep reps intense so they will be in the lower count range. REST, EAT, REST, TRAIN, EAT... so on and so forth.

Ok so this would be fine:
Monday: Chest (12-14sets) + Shoulders (6 sets)
Tuesday: Legs (12-14 sets)
Wed: Rest
Thurday: Back (12-14 sets)
Fri: Bi's (10 sets) + Tris (10 sets)

ABS + Light cardio 3 times per week.. what do you guys think? Any upping or lowering in anything? (rep range will vary..) THANKS ALOT

I've never done a cycle yet, but do chest and back 3 times a week,bis tris and delts 2 times a week and legs twice a week. My chest and back lagged the desired mass and everyones different though. Arnold did calves and forearms 5 times a week, and half of his whole body every other day, with one day rest. I never felt over trained but I'm 26

I don't belive there realy is a set schedule that fits everyone. You'll know if your pushing yourself too hard or haven't had enough rest between workouts. I'll generally hit evey body part twice a week. One workout with full blown intensity and the other still a good hard workout but not nearly as intense.

That shceduale is something that looks light when I'm not on a cycle. I'd spend a whole day on shoulders, because after chest I'm not hitting them as hard a I can fresh. And I would up the sets maybe a little on everything, definetly on shoulders. Remember that you can be in the gym a little longer when juicing. Shoot to be in the gym 4-5 days a week, no less. thats just holw I do it. I gained 25+ pounds in less than a year w/out juicing, just doing that.
