Training While On Gear

[mcwp101]

Ok bro's I have been working out hard for about the past year and a half.. I ran one cycle of test cyp 200mg..one stick a week.. i gained about 12 lbs.. Im 6"2" 204lbs... not sure on the body fat but i stay pretty lean.. Question is- i haven't took a week off from lifting since i have been into it.. i usually train 6-10 days straight and then take a day off.. I was talking to my old strength training coach from high school football a week ago and he said i would get better gains if i took more days off.. So how many days do most of you guys train and take off? thanks

I train 4 days a week very hard, and take 2 days off to recover. Like this:

2 on.
1 off.
2 on.
1 off.
2 on.
1 off.

Etc.

In our quest for more size we always think more is better.More food(we end up fat)steroids(we piss or pass 50% of it)more training sessions(we over train).I think training each body part once a week is plenty.as long as you REALLY train it.we grow when we rest and eat.You can get by with more sessions when your young.the best cycle ive found is 3 on 1 off 2 on 1 off.every week one bodypart gets trained twice and the rotation continues.The main thing i cant stress enough to the guys and girls i train is rest!I know the off days can be hell but just enjoy it.as far as the gear goes just take it when its time training or no training.Train,eat,sleep and grow.

4 on & 1 off works well 4 me. I dont do high volume though either. If I did I would need more rest, even on gear.

If your one of those guys(nothing wronge with that) that has to be in the gym.save calves and forearms for "off" days and hitem both.calves can be worked more often.Im sure forearms too.ive just never really studied forearm recuperation that much.

i hit every body part twice a week, and abs 3 times. mon-sat i lift for 1 hour and 15 mins, and run for 30 mins sunday off. when i work each muscle i fucking destroy it, but 72 hours is plenty of recovery time for me. as far as overtraining, i think for someone whos been training for years that overtraining is ALMOST impossible, not completely but almost. and when on gear i think its even less likely to happen.

It all depends on how intensilly you train, and on your body. Some of my good bro's do 6 on 1 off when on the sauce, seems to work for them. 3 on 1 off when not.

I'm a fairly young guy, and i train every other day on my upper half. one day i wil do chest, triceps and shoulders because they all work together, take a day off, and then back, traps, lats, bi's and forearms. i throw in a core work out in between there once a week. i do my core hardcore, so i do it once a week.

needless to say, in the last 6 weeks i have put on 15 lbs natty by eating like crazy. with a high metabolism i stay lean. i'm 6'2" and 195 lbs and about 12% body fat. i just started a tbol/test/var cycle, and i'm only a week into it. haven't seen much yet, but i'm sur in a couple of weeks i will be up there :-0 i want to hit 215 after PCT. that would be the shit. with the var i'm hoping to drop to 9% BF along with my diet and training.
