When on cycle and bulking who here trains some body parts twice a week. Isn't the whole point of testosterone to recover faster? When bulking and eating enough calories wouldn't it be ideal to workout some body parts twice a week for faster growth? Do you think this is true?
i would agree with you john. the point of AAS is to speed recovery so that you can train more frequently and with more intensity. that said, i sometimes train with a twice a week split, but not always. even on AAS, if you are lifting heavy, your body may not be able to take it for more than a couple months.
here are two splits that ive done that produced good growth:
day 1: chest/tris
day 2: back/bis
day 3: shoulders/traps
day 4: legs
day 5: start over
the above is a basic push/pull pairing ie chest/tris both push, back/bis both pull.
split # 2 (I just started this one so results are yet to be determined)
day 1: legs
day 2: chest
day 3: bis/tris
day 4: back/shoulders/traps
Ive gone thru this split once now and start back to day 1 tomorrow. It has worked well without making the training sessions really long.
i work abs in a few times a week, and then cardio daily.
these splits work out to having 72 hours rest between. I think you just need to listen to your body. if it is leg day and your legs are too sore from the previous workout, move to the next part in the rotation and switch days up.
if this consistently happens consider going to a slower rotation.
i just talked to a gym buddy tonight who said he quit training for a month and put on a bunch of muscle. i asked how often he was hitting bodyparts. he was training them twice a week and had been for 9 months!! i explained that he was overtraining and thats why he put on muscle when he slowed down and gave his body proper rest.
