Training to failure during PCT?

[makelovenotwar21]

After searching there's seems to be some disagreement on training to failure during pct. Almost everyone agrees that it's a good idea to shorten the workout and decrease volume but some say it's a bad idea to push to failure and others say it's the most important time to push yourself to failure.

What do you guys think?

What works for you... Every one reacts differently. One routine works great for one person and is a disaster for another. You really have to listen to your body and how it responds.

I dont work out with a partner anymore because I find I get a lot better results working alone and changing my routine almost daily.

Training - If you have been training intensely during the on period you can help to maintain the new found gains with a slight alteration in the way your training. In some cases further gains have been seen in the recovery part of cycling, this is normally with short cycles and very intense training. If you implement more rest days and make sure your C.N.S gets fully recovered, further gains can be seen. Keep the training sessions down to around 30 mins and incorporate longer rest days in-between. Long workouts lower testosterone to cortisol ratio, so don't go for long workouts no matter how strong or fit you may feel, short and fast will help with recovery without further stress on your system.

Still concentrate on the basic heavy movements this and still focus on HIT type of training, also take more attention on the eccentric part of the lift because this causes most of the muscle fibre damage, after warm up do about 2 sets per bodypart and dropset them, which should consist of eccentric reps start with maximum followed by 90% Max, then 80%max, making sure you take a good 5-6 seconds for the eccentric portion of the reps on all dropsets. There are many other ways of training to help recovery but this method does have great benefits by making the workout shorter and the muscle being hit in a different way. Further gains can be achieved if careful planning is done of your training sessions.
