Sill possible to "overtrain" while juiced?

[Radical Ice]

Hypothetically, if you are making fairly mild gains, but decided to TRIPLE your workout time (or something like that) AND add tons of cardio -- and add some candy in on top of all that, would gains come to a halt as in typical overtraining mode -- or would the hormone package enable the body to keep up and rapidly recover fo rthe duration of the cycle, assuming that an adequate diet is maintained?

 

[rambleon]

seems to me it would still be possible to overdo it. Even with metabolism speeded up and increased protein synthesis u still need time to recover just not as much. The regimen u line up would certainly hinder gains for me even on cycle but everyone is different.

 

[ukkared]

I would think that the more you train the more nutrients you are going to need to help your body recover. If you aren't getting those nutrients into your body then it won't be able to fully recover and you would be over training.

On cycle you train harder. As hard as you can. So you need to Rest and Eat as much as you can. You can always over train.

 

[hyp1]

sure you can overtrain bro no matter how much gear you're running.

your muscles have to recoop and heal,you actually grown when you're out of the gym

 

[tippin]

I feel like it's easier to overtrain when on because you're more jacked up and have the ability to do more and go forever. Sometimes we don't realize our limitations and go a little to far. Nutrition and rest are the key factors in rebuilding new muscle, so do make sure that you take in more if you're training more often.

Gear isn't magic it's a boost.

You can always overtrain.

Yes it is possible to overtrain, and i don't just mean fatigue, or burnout. I'm talking serious injuries like torn muscles, and ruptured ligaments, so on and so forth.

Very true!

CHECK out the DC STYLE of training. SHORT more frequent workouts. GREAT for when on cycle.

I think most folks here don't need to ever worry about over-training!!!

Gear does nothing to help your CNS (central nervous system) recover from stress, IMO.
Most feel gear weekens your immune system.
Overtrained CNS + weekend immune system = bad results.

there was a big thread on this a few years back do a search bro.

keep your training under 1 hour or 1 hour max unless your doing mega doses then you could extend it to an exxtra 20 minutes but always try and train with high intesity than volume, hit builds muscle.

I can't remember who on the board said it but it nailed it. "More isn't better, BETTER is better".
You can definitely overtrain on gear ot off. I see these guys in the gym that train for 2 hours a day, 6 days a week and I just think "what the fuck?" I have a tough time getting through my workout even geared up and I'm rarely in there for 45 minutes.

Hyp is right. I've overtrained on more than one occasion. When gains stop I actually take a week off to recover. It works every time.

My experience with cylces is that the muscle tissue is always ready to go, but as mentioned above my CNS starts to falter. In regards to connective tissue, if I start to feel tightness in my joints during a set I back off even though I know I can do more reps...less is more sometimes for me.

Just to play devil's advocate here, what about bb'ers of the 70s working out 2-4 hours everyday?

Like Arnold?
Genetic freaks that could have built more muscle in less time, IMO.
People do get results from volume training. So can I, but not for long.
I'm a monster by normal standards. My immune system, and my ability to handle extended heavy frequent stress is quiet inferior. I've learned to accept my limitations, and make the most of my few gifts.

A)
People could probably do much more cardio then they think while ON.
anabolic androgenic steroids is Very anticatabolic so as long as your not pounding your leg into the ground with 12 miles runs you could probably do cardio every day.

B)
As far as lifting it depends on how "destructive" your lifting style is. If you lift in a way that Damages connective tissue and challenges joints directly then YES over training is a reality. If you lift in a way that almost only challenges muscle ( which has high nutrient and blood supply) then yes it will be easier to train more frequent.

C) with more frequent Training Carbohydrate consumption will have to be increased and used intelligently.

That being said as a rule of Thumb one need not train each body part more then 2 times a week.
