    Does your work-out routine changes when you are on and off steroids???

    Here is a sample of steroid workout from this website. I am sure you all have seen it:

    Day 1: Chest, biceps
    Bench presses 3 sets 6- 8 reps
    Incline bench presses 2 sets 6- 8 reps
    Dips with added weights 2 sets 8-10 reps
    Barbell curls 3 sets 6-10 reps
    Dumbbell curls 2 sets 6-10 reps

    Day 3: Thighs
    Squats 3 sets 6-10 reps
    Leg presses 2 sets 8-10 reps
    Leg curls 2 sets 8-10 reps

    Day 5: Shoulder, triceps
    Presses behind neck 3 sets 6- 8 reps
    Upright row 2 sets 8-10 reps
    Side laterals 2 sets 8-10 reps
    Lying triceps presses 3 sets 6-10 reps
    Triceps pulley pushdown 2 sets 8-10 reps

    Day 7: Back. calves
    Chins with added weight 3 sets 8-10 reps
    Lat pull to neck 2 sets 8-10 reps
    Barbell bent-over row 2 sets 6-10 reps
    Seated cable row 2 sets 6-10 reps
    Standing calf raise 3 sets 8-12 reps
    Seated calf raise 2 sets 8-12 reps


    Now...it says that this is not suitable for natural body builders??? Why?? Why can't I do this while I am off steroids ? What would be the problem? And if so....could anyone tell me what would be a good workout routine while your off roids? Thanks!

    personally i say 12 working sets MAX for a bodypart. i only do 10 sets total for quads and hamstrings.
    ps im natural.
    You have to find what works for you. Any more takes too long and is to tiring, any less and i dont stimulate enough muscle fibres for growth.

    its all about overtraing bro...you dont want to do that...

    you can do that program and not overtrain though...but if you push each of those sets to the max and beyond..then you are in trouble...but if you are on roid..you can max out each set and be alright

    its all about the intensity during your workout. When you're off your cycle, you can still go heavy but naturally you arent gonna have the same strength nor intensity to do the same workouts meanwhile makeing the risk of overtrainig.
