cycle workouts

[josh_323i]

Do you guys increase workout days at all while on cycle? Or do you still need good rest in between even when juicing?

I am kinda curious about this question too. It seems like most people are hitting each bodypart once a week and I was considering twice a week. We'll see what the consensus is.

Well when I'm "ON" I still hit everything once a week, either way you can still get fatigued while "ON" or "OFF"...what I do is while I'm on gear I stay longer and do heavier weight instead of lighter while I'm off it..when your "OFF", you want to diet and cut, so you would want to stay lighter(not too light though) and do the definition. While I'm on gear your more than likely bulking so your doing heavier weight...

[rado]

when your on gear your body just wants to keep going and going, so you have to listen to your body so you don't get fatigued...

[AceDaBoss]

Good point. If you are still sore it is probably better to rest and heal up. But I was considering

1 Chest/back
2 shoulders/bi's/ tri's
3 legs
4 repeat 1
5 repeat 2
6 repeat 3
7 off

Maybe too much don't want to over do it but I thought while on it speeds up your recovery so you can hit each bodypart twice in a week.

IMO chest and back would/could be too much. your working 2 large muscle groups on the same day. I would do something like this:

Chest
arms
back
rest
legs
shoulders
rest

and then continue on...

[rado]

the BP's I would hit 2x's a week would be the "lazy" one's IMO...not every single one of them...but that's just me, you'll get members on here that will do otherwise

I do 6 days a week, but the only things I hit 2x are calves and forearms. Bi's and tri's are hit indirectly once, and directly once. I train the same on or off, but on, I do more sets. I go as heavy as I can when off, but just not as much volume as my recovery is not as fast.

[AceDaBoss]

I don't see how you can do Back the day after arms 1X per week

Chest
Back
Legs
Shoulders
Bi's
Tri's
Rest

Me either...my bi's wouldn't want to hold very much weight for my back

that's the whole point why I do it that way, it gives me great pumps and I do feel the soreness believe me

[josh_323i]

cool...i can't work chest, back, or shoulders after arm day though. Well damn...don't know if i've tried it before...lol

[scorpion]

I do not change my rotine on or off...you train hard all the time....intencity should be there...all the time

[josh_323i]

Yes, intensity should. My original question was can you work your muscles more often because they recover quicker, or still give them the same amount of time off.
