Weights/routine on cycle.

[Sibolovin]

Just curious looking at a cycle this year and trying to find out as much as possible before I start. One thing unsure of is what sort of routine do you do??

A 5/3/1 type. Ie Lower reps go for strength gains

or

A more 12/10/8 rep routine? Gain muscle size.

Or is it a more whatever your body needs. Ie if want to add strength do lower reps.

 

Can I drop a rest day? or keep the same for recovery. Normally train mon/tue. Wed off, thur/fri train, weekend off.

 

Also how many more sets to add in to routine. If 3 work sets normally as on gear and can recover faster do 4-5 sets? Or hit more exercises on same muscle group. Ie Bench then incline/decline/flys etc

 

Cheers in advance

i wouldnt change much sibolovin, stick with your usual training and adjust from there.  if your feeling good add in a bit more volume.  if your goal is strength stick to your strength program, if its muscle size then focus more on hypertrophy.

imo when your on gear, as long as your stimulating the muscles enough and feeding and resting them enough, they will grow.

making the mistake of going all out and increasing volume and days in the gym could back fire.

My training is completely different on cycle

I blitz the muscles while taking higher doses, lots of warm ups, pre exhausting, heavy duty, super sets, drop sets, giant sets. 

 

cruising I lower the volume and just stick with the heavy duty reps 5-8 with 4 sets per excercise

 

workouts take me 2-2 1/2 hours blasting and about 45-1 hour cruising

Yea you gotta run doses high enough so you can recover from workouts like those. I use tren & test

 

On a different note, I've trained & eaten the exact same as i do on a blast but while I was on a cruise dose and those 2 hour workouts made my muscles sore for around 4 days afterwards. It was too much for the body

Normally on a blast the muscles will be sore maybe 1 day after then feel ok to train the day after that so the amount of gear you take and compounds you use makes all the difference

Dn.t change anything for at least a month after starting. You will gain strenght fast and risk serious injury, as your tendons will still not be up to scratch. Be wise and ignore your super human powers.

No need to change your workout really, you're just gonna be stronger and recover like a bawse~

Things I also found were dont increase weight too drastically, go gradual cos yeah you feel like a beast but the support muscles/tendons and all that other Doogie Howser MD stuff can get injured. Don't try be a hero 3-4 weeks in on the leg press. I never really had rest days natty just trained smart and found I could actually lift twice a day when bored and recovery was boss as ( again break down of groups is important ) - looking back I wish I had done WAY more stretching and possibly yoga as I got bigger my flexibility was SHIT to the point where at my biggest round 108 I couldn't even reach the back of my neck properly - marshmellow man life probbbblems. I suggest stretching/yoga if you're not adverse ( if you're a biggish dude ) and I'm finding now, 5 months in smaller support muscles seem over used and have little tantrums lol like when I move my arms down from positions the muscles by the shoulders sort of ripple/tense/flex so today I'm getting dry needling to release pressure I wish I had either rested more or had massages more frequently.
