Off Days? Necessary even on gear?

[JKurz1]

Title says it all.....how many days are you active/train on and of cycle?

On i have to force myself to rest , i could go everyday but try train 5 out of 7 days instead .

Off can be a real struggle ... off seperates the men from the boys , 4 out of 7 will maintain gains but not pack on much of anything new . I hurt like hell the next day so it pretty much forces me to take a day in lue


Adjusting the weight post cycle is the tough part ... getting use to chucking around 20% more on cycle is a mental challenge to back off post cycle , this is where alot of guys fuckup and get injured or return to the juice to fast because they can't handle the strength lose .

Those who advocate that steroids are not addictive are full of fucking shit !! Maybe not physicaly but definatly mentaly for the weak of heart ... steroid depression is very real .

I normally take a complete day off every ten days or so, but every 4th day only do am cardio and keep calories moderate and let my body rest.

Normally if I just do cardio in the am my body recovers fine and the next day I am ready to rock! I was bulking it would be 3 on 1 off to allow full recovery to take place.

This is actually a very good poll.

I have been training hard, real hard 6 days a week. Yesterday I was at the gym 2 and ½ hours and felt rushed, could have stayed and worked another ½ hour easy.

This week will only be 5, because of work, but I feel like training twice on Saturday.


I feel like I could train everyday. But I think that would be counter productive.
Don’t really know.

Have never trained twice in same day. I know people do it, and it seems to make sense.

2 days rest between body parts seems adequate to me, I use to take one week off between body parts.

I go to a big gym in Costa Mesa, has everything, I don’t talk to anyone, just stretch, do abs, turn of the phone and hit the weights.

My cycle is test only 1 gram a week with liquidex and novladex, have never really done this type of cycle before, a function of lack of resources at present.

[wellbilt]

i usually do 2-3 days or weight traing with alil cardio afterwards then take a day off from training and just hit the cadio
i will usually take 1 day off from everything even the diet and relax and eat
i still eat well just alot of food and maybe a cheat here and there usually sundays are my rest day

Great thread. I do cardio 6 days a week for 1 hour, and lift after cardio on m,w,f doing the trifecta of deadlifts, bench and squats. I find that it is impossible for me to lift more than 3 days a week with the above routine.

I train a minimum of 5 days.....usually 6, and today is my complete rest day. IT SUCKS! I hate every minute of it, but I know I need it. It doesnt help tht I sit all day in an office, but I gots to do it....

tell me, you you switch up your macros on off days? Still take in a prebed shake?
