How often should one train the same group while on cycle? EOD? IDK if it matters but the cycle is 200mg T cyp 2 x per week.
Training frequency + rest while on
- Thread starter lymedestroyer
- Start date

Thanks. Will do. The first couple of workouts left me sore for 48 hrs but im recovering much faster now. Im in week 2 and i can tell a difference. Bench has increased already. Keeping reps under 8 @ 3 sets going as heavy as i can. I have increased cals bit need to clean it up a bit.
Would you guys suggest adding creatine? Ive never used it. Just curious?

Id add the creatine to your PCT, also i have herd of guys saying they see the biggest gains when they rest as equally as they work even while on cycle,
Rest is always the hardest thing to remember, Personaly, i have increased intensity ten fold, while maintaing relatively same rest periods as off cycle.
Go by what your body tells you too, remember over working doesnt grow anything!

Thanks guys. Ill pick some up for post cycle therapy (pct). Im on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) so i really wont have much of a post cycle therapy (pct). I will just move my dose back down to the 200 mg week mark and continue my Aromatase inhibitor (AI).
I will probably only run t cyp cycles without stacking. I hope this is enough to get me to where i want to be.

Sir Anabolic
JUST GROW.
You'll have to find out what works best for you... but I wouldn't train the same bodypart more than twice a week.

ok twice per week it is. I trained chest bi's and tri's 2 times this week and it seems to have gone pretty well. I was not sore at all and recovery was very fast.
lyme, i can tell you came in here already feeling you knew the answer, you just wanted some type of reassurance. so go ahead, over train. but when your progress stalls and then reverts, you feel like irritated, moody, restless and just generally like shit, don't come crying back here. and btw, just because your muscles are not sore anymore does not mean they are recovered.

2x a week would work just keep in mind that the muscle will recover more quickly but the CONNECTIVE tissues are what get beaten up on cycle especially longer ones. Your muscles grow stronger and the tendons can't keep up, just something to keep in mind. If you begin to get a "nag" or maybe some irritation in a joint. Back off for a few workouts till it feels better and you will be golden!

This is definitely open for suggestions
I have been going low rep \ heavy until exhaustion
I can usually squeeze 3-4 sets of 6-7 reps out. My current gym sucks to I really only get one or two movements per group.
This week I stepped up my diet and it has paid off. I am seeing small gains.
I wasnt really ready for this cycle as I feel my body fat is too high.
Heres why I wanted to do it:1
1. Im already on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) at 200 mg per week for life.
2. Adding another 200 mgs per week isnt that far of a leap if it helps gain muscle and not fat.
3. I was hoping that by adding some muscle over time I can increase my metabolism and lose even more fat
you're right in thinking more muscle will help burn more fat. your bis are getting hit on back day and then you are directly hitting them the very next day. then either taking 4 days off (since you said you do a second chest day sometimes). and why may i ask do you sometimes do a second chest day? you might as well just do chest tris/back bis/ legs/shoulders

Thats why im here asking for advice rather than continuing what could be detrimental.
Thank you.
I guess I should have gone into detail a little further on fridays. Friday is kind of my floater day. Right now I want to grow my chest more thats why I said sometimes. Sometimes its a cardio day or whatever other group I feel didnt get enough attention on the other days. I guess my question should have been "can I work out chest 2 times in a week or is that too much" or something along those lines
I dont have any problem breaking it up like you said with a rest day in between each. Is that what you are suggesting?
