Recovery question... can you?

[El Corvino]

While on test and Dbol... Chest is my favorite exercise... can I lift heavy twice a week safely? Or am I better off lifting heavy one time and lifting light high rep the second?

[SilverTest]

i think you can safely exercise a muscle group twice when the gear is really kicking in .

but dont overdo it.

"Don't over do it" Im assuming you are advising me to go with the once heavy and once light opposed to doing 2 sessions of heavy lifting a week?

dude if your training properly and heavy enough once a week is enough !!!!! there is no way in the world i could train chest twice in a week sometimes my chest is still sore the day b4 i train it again ..... id say check your routine out , better yet post it here 4 me and ill look at it

My friend trains me so i'll have to get the work out from him. In reference to what you just said... I did legs 5 days ago natty and can just now walk normal. haha but I find when I am on I recover MUCH faster.

2 times a week is fine. it's good to mix things up

dont do it when you are off , i said do it while you are on .

dont over do it means for example do two training sessions moderately heavy 3 exercises per session . i actually believe you will get good results if you do it this way on cycle.

hope that helps bro.

3 to 2...

When on cycle I train each body part 4 times every 3 weeks. I was doing a 2 on 1 off 2 on 2 off routine but that was killing me. Sessions were too long and exhausting! Just tweaked it a bit and training a full 5 days on/2 off now, still training each body part 4 times every 3 weeks, hopefully this will prove more beneficial. Thing is though mate you have to listen to your body. If you are recovering well then I see no harm in training the way I stated, but if your recovery isnt happening then rest. Good luck
