Test P and recovery

[bigknigt]

Hey, when using steroids, in this case 1400mg test p week. How fast are you recovering? leets say i blasted my chest triceps at monday, takes around 24 hours to recover the muscles??

Here is my new workout routine, changing every cycle.

Day 1. Chest triceps
Day 2. Back biceps,dedlift
Day 3. Legs abdominals
Day 4. Delt traps triceps
Day 5. Back biceps,dedlift
Day 6-7. Rest

Overtraining or what?

Note im doing maximun 5 exercise on big muscles, 3-4 on arms.

Saw a documentary that it takes 48 hours for a muscle to recover from workout, with steroids around 24 the half of normal.

Too many factors play into recovery to answer this defintively! Diet, rest, H2O, gear, genetics.

Will one recover faster while using AAS? Yes but how much faster I don't believe can be quantified. Listen to your body!!

I will say that deadlifts 2X a week may be a bit much.

Id hate to be on the recieving end of 1400mgs of Test P.

Wow 1400 is a lot. I only train 4 days a week and i get every muscle done 2 times a week. You dont grow in the gym you grow when you rest. You must rest as hard as you train. Just my .02

Ill go to my personal trainers and ask for a real routine, i had so many routines...And yes train big, eat big , rest big.

So you do full upper body twice weekly?

[t-dogg]

Doing legs twice a week is ok, but I wouldnt do squats/deadlifts twice in the same week.

Ye, how about skipping the dedlift at day 5 and do instead 3 back exercises and 3 biceps? I hate making my own routines!

Nothing wrong with two leg days. Just do something else on the second day. If your working out 6days you could do something like this.

Monday- chest/tri's
Tues- back/bi's
wends- legs
Thurs- shoulders/traps
Friday- bi's/tri's
Sat- legs

Im working 12hours at sunday and saturday thats why i rest on weekends.

But what do u think about my routine? First post. Remove the deadlift at day 5.

[t-dogg]

Id cut the deadlifts out except for the leg day personally then.

[Bio-Active]

yes legs only get hit once a week and some muscle groups get hit more because of the multi joint lifts. I always super set and work at least 2 muscle groups per day.

This for me has been the best routine I have ever used. It's a revised Dorian Yates routine. It may work well for you.

Routine:

Day one: Delts, triceps, abs
Day two: Back, traps, rear delts
Day three: REST
Day four: Chest, biceps, abs
Day five: Quads, hams, calves
Day six: REST

All movements are performed with PERFECT FORM (this is a must IMO)

All rest periods are short (60-90 seconds, 90 seconds being only for the BIG LIFTS - Deadlifts, Leg Press etc...)

All movements are performed as follows with a few obvious exceptions where it is not safe/ possible to do easily;

Set 1 - Warm up/ Feel Set
Set 2 - Feel Set / Close to failure
Set 3 - Working set (To failure and beyond, including forced reps, negatives, force negatives, statics pauses)

*One thing to note is that you CANNOT REST DURING YOUR WORKING SET! You go to failure and then you carry on with the help of a spotter (still you must keep tight form as your spotter does the cheating for you), you do not stop and allow the muscle to rest and recover. Your tempo needs to remain there all the way to the death, DO NOT PAUSE AND ALLOW RECOVERY

Progressive Tension Overload:

Progressive - Adding weight/ reps/ extra stimulus

Tension - Where that weight is going. On the muscle as tension.

Overload - Takining a muscle to failure - overloading the muscle with something it has not before experienced.

Progressive Tension Overload creates adaptation.
