Training On Gear, Not As Sore As I Used To Be

**BOBBY D** · 05-20-2005, 09:28 AM

Im just trying to figure out why im not that sore as i should be. 3 weeks before i started gear, i trained to shock my muscle, & was sore every next few days, the good soreness. now im on test/deca /dbol , its my 2nd week, & i dont feel as sore as i used to be, my workouts are the same, but going to switch it around on week 3 for variety. my question is does gear reduce soreness? i know it recovers u quickly, but i feel sometimes when i get out of the gym i havent done anything. anybody have this problem. thanks.

dood i get just as sore if not more when im on gear... maybe your over training i know when i over train i never get sore

whats ur regiment look like?
lifts/reps/sets/ tempo?

of course the combination of prop/tren makes me hurt regardless so i always feel like i get a good workout.

MON: chest= flat bench(bar) 2-warm up sets 15-20reps, 8 reg. sets 10 reps then 6-8, then 4-6- increasing the weight every 1 or 2 sets, incl. dumbell press=3 sets heavy, flat dumb. flys 3-4 sets 6-8 reps, - incl. dumb. flys (same as flat).

TUE: BI's & TRI'S: bar curls- 2 warm up sets 20 reps, 8 reg sets, 10, 8, 6, reps- incline dumb curls 4 sets 6-8reps. TRI's: SKULL CRUSHERS 6 sets, pull downs 4 sets, seated french press 3-4 sets.

this is just to give an idea, i train heavy sets at first then i do the isolating sets. i cant write every thing down cause im at work. hope this helps

yep over training like a mofo on chest day for sure
which is worse than not training at all IMO

dont do flat DB press and flat bench same work out pointless

no offense but im thinking your workout schedule/shceme might need some revision to be more benificial for your cycle/intentions.

i dont do flat db's on the same day as flat bar chest. if i do flat bar then i will do incline db, & visa versa. but thanks ill revise it.

you may be overtraining

but, are you getting stronger .. .weaker?

Im sore for about 2 days then I can go again.. and the soreness isnt very bad... but I am getting stronger every workout... so? I may be overtraining but Im responding enough to get stronger.

you on the other hand if your getting weaker thats a definate sign or what my pal tai said.

(were pals)

im getting stronger, but it is to early in the cycle to tell if the roids are kicking in. i know my body, i think i have to change & mix up my routine.
