training off gear?

[jimmy04]

what do you do?

train as hard as you would and for as long as you would on or bring it down a noch or 2 and train for maintenance eg shorter work out or less working sets maby a day less 4-3 day week etc etc.

 

[bigdofba]

I would say that you should "try" to train as hard. Naturally your body won't be able to keep that intensity but you should try to keep it as close as possible imo.

 

[needtogetaas]

I go back to a basic 5x5.

 

[jumpmaster82]

I try to keep it as intense as possible without overtraining of course.

 

[jimmy04]

needtogetaas-"I go back to a basic 5x5." go back from what? (just basic principals I dont expect you to tell me your exact training regime just to give me an idea of the jump from 1 to the other)

Well I never come off now, but when i did.

When on a do 5x5 plus a whole bunch added to it. When not I just go back to the basic 5x5 program. Keeps size on for me just fine.

Sure, why not? Lifting a body part once every 5 or 6 days and it's pretty damn hard to overtrain.

I really try to concentrate harder on form as my strength drops and not try to get that same weight no matter what. That leads to injury. I will also switch sometimes from 8-12 when on to 12-15 reps when off.

I stick to my 4 on / 1 off routine while off or running lower dosages. When on I sometimes will workout 7-8 days straight and throw in some extra work for lagging bodyparts whenever I feel like it.

7-8 days straight - is that not far too much training without a rest?

~ No more then 3 to 4 times a week lifting
3 is Ideal if combined with cardio

~ No all out Pedal to the medal sets under 8 reps

~ a couple of solid session a week of Cardio

~ No supplement aside from some LIPOFLAME and Amplify02 ( one or the other just prewokout or preCardio)

~ No protien supps or extra tricks that use insulin etc.

~ Possible add some Yoga or other fruity classes that actually kind of help lol

My wife teaches pilates. It helps with streching and flexibility as well as core strength.

 

[KD1]

what do you do?

Same number of sets, lower weight, more reps.

Keep reps above 8 and dont be a hero. If you lose some strength dont overcompensate and end up blowing something out.

overtraining is a central nervous thing dosent have to do with bodypart frequency
