    Cool Training While on Cycle?

    I have been working out Mon.-Fri. as followes(Mon.=abs, forearms, calves; Tues.=chest, biceps; Wed.=shoulders; Thurs.=back, triceps; Fri.=Legs). I was wondering if I would be able to maximize my gains while on cycle by changing my routine to work out each muscle group twice a week. Would this be a bit of an overkill? Thanks and I look forward to hearing your opinions.

    Well, in order for us to tell you anything we need some stats. IE: height, weight, bf%, etc. etc.
    But i do think your workout needs some improvement. Just my .02

    well you can workout the muscle group when it has recovered from the previous workout.
    now this is not always a set ammount of days. it depends on how you are eating/dieting to rebuild muscle as well as rest/sleep. Sleep is when you actually recover from your workout so 2 hours of sleep vs. 7-8 hours every night could make a difference in days of recovery. Glutamine is a great supp to help out with this as well.

    The workout I am currently doing is a Max-OT workout, but its based on using very heavy weights at 4-6 reps, 3 sets per excercise. This routine works pretty good for me but I was thinking I would get better results from another workout I have put together that is:

    Mon: Back, Shoulders, Triceps
    Tues:Chest, Biceps, Fore-arms
    Wed:Legs, Abs
    Thurff
    Fri:Back, Shoulders, Triceps
    Sat: Chest, Biceps, Forarms
    Sun:Legs, Abs




    Here are some stats, height=6'5, weight=210, bf=12. I almost always get a minimum of 7 hours of sleep. I have a great diet that I have spent sometime adjusting to fit me. I am not new to training and dieting, but I am new to AAS. This is my first cycle and I am just trying to figure out how to maximize my gains from this cycle. Thanks for your inputs so far and if there is anything else you need to know I will answer it.

    The one thing I took from Max-OT and continued to use was the 4-6 reps rule. However, I only apply this to big compound movements. When working more isolation, I like to hit 6-10. In response to your question, don't risk overtraining. One body part once a week has proven time and time again to be effective at building muscle. I wish people (not attacking you personally) would stop "researching the latest training methods" and stick to the basics consistently. THAT will incur muscle growth. Eat big, don't skip workouts, up the weights you use every week, and sleep for atleast 8 hours a night, and your body will have no choice but to grow
