Does anyone on cycle do parts 2x a week?

[sircharles]

My current routine:

M-Chest
T-Back
W-Bis/Tris
R-OFF
F-Shoulders
S-Legs (I throw in 2 sets of cable crosses for chest, 15-20 reps here)
S-OFF

My workouts are intense, and im making great gains in size and strength, but im hitting the heart of my cycle (week 8 of Test-e at 500mg/Week) and want to make sure im getting the MOST I can out of it.

I am typically sore for a full day or 2 after each workout, so I must be doing something right. But cant help but wonder if I should/could be doing some body parts 2x a week and achieve more gains.

Thoughts?

PS: If my routine needs a tweaking, feel free to.

You say you are making great gains in size and strength so if the routine is working it doesn't need fixing. You should be able to recover a little quicker on aas so you could train bodyparts 2x a week. If you did that you would need more open days so I would suggest combining chest with triceps and back with biceps, some guys dont like doing this and do arms on the same day like you are now because they say after chest or back their tri's or bi's get the short end of the stick of intensity. I would keep legs at once a week still because of their size and recovery time needs.

So its possible to train some parts more than once a week but if you are making gains you are happy with now then dont change it. Try training differently once you get off the cycle and see how that feels.

I dont hit anything again til it is fully healed as far as I can tell, which is about 4-6 days depending on how well I did and how much I eat. I would nto be able to hit a bodypart twice in a week without purposefully training to a lesser extent.

My Chest, Bi/Tri, Leg days are PERFECT for me, Ive tweaked it enough that it blows them up (maybe different for others though)

M - Chest
Incline Press
DB Presses
DB Flys
Cable Crosses (High Rep, finishes off nicely and really gets the blood flowing)

T - Back/Traps
Bent Rows
Seated Rows
Pull-Ups
DB Lat Raises
Wide Grip Shrugs

W - Bis/Tris
BI's
Wide Grip Curls
Narrow Grip Curls
TRI's
NG Bench Press supersetted w/Cable Push Downs (the 'Y' shaped piece)
Skullcrushers
Wide Grip Cable Pushdowns

F - Shoulders/Traps
Military Press
DB Front Raises
Arnold Presses
NG BB Up-Right Row

S - Legs
Squats
Leg Press
Leg Curl
Leg Extension
Calf Raises

After a lot of thinking, the only body parts I really feel I can do twice w/out overtraining are Chest and Bis/Tris. New schedule:

M - Chest #1
T - Back
W - Bis/Tris #1
F - Shoulders and Chest #2
S - Legs and Bis/Tris #2

New question:

Should both chest and arms workouts consist of the same exercises? Or should I switch up new exercises for the second session?
