when cycling can u train a bodypart more?

gee brown · Nov 8, 2006

just want your opinions on whether you can train say arms and chest 2 or 3 times a week when ur on a cycle?

mikefear · Nov 8, 2006

you can, but there's no real point.. go heavy volume on the day you train you chest and devote the rest of the week to other parts of your body..

you can overtrain while on gear..

I use to want to work each bodypart more then once a week also but found out that just ripping them once a week was plenty. The only thing I will do is say on chest day I will do some warm up and light sets for my triceps and the same for my biceps on Back day. But my arms have thier own day to themselves on Friday.

Sound advice right here! 2-3 weeks light weight and higher reps to strengthen them. You might be sorry if you dont I was on both elbows!

Hopefully you have a couple days between your arm day and the other two days you do something for them so you can get the full attention to their workout

I like to do the whole push pull concept it just makes sense
When you bench your tricep is a secondary muscle after you are done benching destroy your tricep since you already started on it

Same on pull day or back day your bicep is your secondary muscle pulling i.e. rows

The only thing is you dont get to see both your bicep and tricep pumped at the same time.

Yes, like many I also learned more of the hard way..
Its takes alot od discipline to do it. I mean who the hell doesnt want to move all that weight that becomes easier all of the suddne!!
You just have to say no LOL

I also used to train not doing secondaries the same day. I like chest and bis for example.. I have recently changed that now and I have been very happy, Chest and tries back bi's ect..

Stay well,

I dont know man.

if your NOT training with Frequency and intensity while your on

your NOT a bodybuilder

2 times a week per Body Part is BEST or at least ever 4 days.
