Rest and Cycles

[chchardgainer]

just wondering what other peoples thoughts are about how much rest is needed when on a cycle

1.would you just stick to your normal schedule

2.would you have more rest time as you are pushing your muscles harder

3.less rest time due to quicker recovery (supposed) ?

Gerenaly the rule of thumb is that you can significantly increase your work load when on, however I think doing this is the down fall of many people, I think you are better off in a mass phase to train 3-4 days a week hard and heavy with moderately high volume and spend the rest of the time recovering.

I find I get the best mass gains when doing a 3 day a week split, but I must admit im always tempted to do 4-5days. Whet cutting 4-6 days.

So my theory is to use the gear to grow more rather than train more.

i do a 5 day split so i dont rest at all, i train every day and yes the gear does help u recover quicker if u werent sure, u get way sorer the next day when u are 'off'

I also train 5-6 weight sessions per week. But have been doing this a long time even when not using gear.

[chchardgainer]

is that enough time for muscles to full recover though ? doing 3 days on 1 off 2 on 1 off at the moment ,would like to go 6 days a week but think i would get pretty run down.

We're all different Chch, some can train 7 days a week for months on end and make great gains and others lose weight and get sick if they train more than twice a week, gear or not you have to find what works best for "you"

Only way to excel at this game.

put it this way, if i wasnt using stuff i wouldnt train every day

just take more gear and then you don't need to rest :grin:

I train the same all year around. If I feel like doing an extra set or exercise I will.
