    fvck soreness!

    i have been ramping up my workout intensity the last three weeks since i have been on AAS. I am going harder than ever before and i have been working out a long time. diet wise nothing has changed but upped the cals. I have been eating clean for a couple years now so thats irrelavent. I feel like i am not recovering good and some of my lifts are suffering. Thinking about changing it up a little, here is my schedule. I cant get my legs to recover good and my shoulder workouts are suffering, especially presses. I am thinking about taking 2 days off before shoulders and going on an 8 day rotation. I just feel like i am wasting my AAS when i am taking two days off in a row, but i gotta have that day off after legs. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    You could try doing two days on and one day off. Then do large muscle groups with the heavier lifts on the first day then smaller groups on the second.

    For instance:
    1. Chest
    2. Arms
    3. Rest
    4. Back
    5. Shoulders/traps
    6. Rest
    7. Quads/hamstrings
    8. Calves

    Then repeat. You can throw in abs or cardio where you see fit. It follows an 8 day schedule but I find that it gives your body constant recovery time so even if you are sore you should be good for next big lift day.

    Don't be afraid of time off, on or off cycle. If the muscle that you broke down doesn't have time to heal then what good are you doing. Your workout looks decent to me. I prefer not to work opposing muscle groups back to back like you have on day 1 and 2. Perhaps throw your leg workout in the middle to allow time for your upper body muscles to heal. Another suggestion might be combining your shoulder/trap day with something else. I would do it either on leg day or back day. I actually do it on both cause I like to hit trapz 2x week. This would give you another day of rest. A ggod rule of thumb is simply listen to your body. If it feels like it has not healed from the last time you lifted then rest it longer.My 2 cents!
