Can muscles shrink while on AAS by over-training?

[21gun]

If your motivation is high - you can't wait till you hit again.
You are not fatigued between the workouts.
Your appetite is good.
You don't workout when your body is sore.
Your get 8+ hours of good sleep.

Am I right to asume that: if you have all of the above, you are not overtraining. Right?

As for losing fat and gaining muscle, I have solid proof of my own:
In my first cycle, I gained 8-10 lbs while losing 3-4 lbs fat.
Now, my fat is disappearing and my weight is same or more. I can see my muscles bulking, though slowly.
I hate to see fat on my body. I would rather gain slowly than gain excess fat.

Yes, if all of the above are true, you are not overtraining. I was just pointing out the signs of overtraining. A fine line between "forcing" yourself to go to the gym and "wanting" to go to the gym.

you know when your overtraining, some guys can handle lifting 7 days a week but i ddoubt they are getting the results that they could with a more recovery based workout, i say hit each muscle intense for a short period of time once or twice a week and if you start feeling way too tired or weak then your doing too much, everybody is different...........................................................................................................or are we the same?

Based on my research from multiple sources, and my own results, I have reached the following conclusion:

1. Muscles do not take that long to recover. Smaller muscles takes less time to recover than larger muscles. Biceps only take 48 hrs to recover (Arnold's book). That is without AAS.
2. AAS speeds up the recovery and decreases the recovery period.

If you are not sore, go ahead and work out.

So, WHILE ON AAS:
You can easily work out arms muscles 2-3/week.
Larger muscles, 2/week.
If you are doing less than that, you are not getting all you can achieve from your cycle.

Evidently, the LoneTree is bearing too much fruit for the forum.....

Dudes overtraining is harder than you think when NOT juicing.

I don't care how much crazy shit you do in the gym, if you're juicing and eating big, you will not shrink. PERIOD

The LoneTree disagrees with you, casualbb....

DIV, I am not going to change my ID.
By the way, which 'DIVISION' do you represent?
Army division? Sports division?
I actually believe that over-training is over-rated.
It is very difficult to overtrain when you are on AAS.

So, by your theories, one could train 7x a week, eat big, be on a nice cycle and make big gains?


I'd like to read the thoughts of some of the bigger boys on this forum. Could we post current splits, diets, and gear? Might be pretty informative.

I am seriously concerned that 44% of people think you can't overtrain on AAS.

sounds like a lot of people really do think steroids are magic pills.

I could easily train 7x a week and be 110% every time in........I guess I'm just antsy by nature as I've been active all my life....to sit behind a desk now for 9+ hours puts me in a state of mysery.......I was cut out for contruction work.....maybe own my own company, cause somewhere, this CPA has to come in as not a total waste of 7 years.........

you train 7 days per week and often two times per day because you have OCD, no?
