FIST I just spent a good bit of time reading this thread. I definitely will be paying attention to it.

One question I'm curious about is do you think it's possible to overtrain/overdo your muscles in a workout while on AAS?

Typically I've been doing 5 exercises with 3 sets for chest, back and shoulders. And do 4 exercises of 3 sets for triceps and biceps except if I feel I can't go any further or am in a rush.

Thank you my friend.Im happy to have followers of my log.Helps motivate me.

Now in regards to over-training........FUCK NO!!! WHATS OVER-TRAINING?? No seriously,I think that term is relative to each individual and time of each persons life.Meaning,everyone has a different point where enough is enough.I have always been a cardio machine due to my yrs of martial arts training and career in the Marine Corps so my endurance level has always been pretty high.Even at my age,I can outwork guys more than half my age.They used to tell me I was the energizer bunny on steroids and speed!! LMFAO.

Now with that said,I do read my body and know when its time to give it a rest.I am semi-retired now so my work output there is minimal now and I have plenty of time to recover from my workouts.Im not one who thinks he needs to hit the gym every damn day and if I dont im crushed.I have been taking weekends off to spend with my family now and days during the week,I take off days as well.So when I do hit the gym,I GO BALLS TO THE WALL 100%!!

Another thing that I mentioned is different times in ones life,meaning there are times when you are over-stressed or over worked at your job and may need more recovery days so you have to factor that into your routines as well.You should always be evaluating your lifes situation and change up your workouts,diets and of course rest days during certain times.

Now as for your workouts,for me,whats worked best is to always change up.Never stick to any routine for too long or you get stale.Thats how most plateaus happen.When you are constantly switching to new training styles,you continue to shock your muscles and keep them guessing how to respond to this new trauma and will continue to yield growth.I have always changed between bbing routines to power lifting routines,etc.I never say "THIS IS HOW I TRAIN" because I train EVERY WAY.

Sorry if I went into a long winded answer but once I get going,I can go on forever.LOL.This is a lifestyle that ive been with for over 4 decades and LOVE IT and that passion fuels my posts in the community.Sometimes too much for some,but hell with em,I got to be me.LMFAO. 8) ;D 8)

 

[F.I.S.T.]

No iron today.I did play some b-ball with my kids though and went out with my younger ones with their bikes.Nothing like running after your kids while trying to teach them to ride a bike on their own.LMAO

Fist thanks for the response. First of all Semper Fi my brother. I was 0311 in early 2000s.

I appreciate the response it confirmed to me my thoughts that chances are I'm not overtraining and to go harder. Some days when I take TNE as a pre workout I feel I could go forever. I will go even harder next time in the gym from now on.

Also how's are your legs since you left the Corps? Man it's hard for me to run 20 minute 3 mile runs like I used to. We did so much PT running with flaks, Kevlar and Alice packs on it all put a beating on my knees.

Semper Fi my brother.OOH-RAH!!!! Rough fitting into the outside world once you've been in long enough.

Yea my brother,between the Corps and many yrs of heavy iron,my knees aren't the greatest.Nor are my shoulders,and friggin hips.LMAO.But in still banging my brother.I truly believe that a lifetime of martial arts and mma training has helped me greatly with keeping me flexible and limber.Now I started taking Glucosamine,Chondroitin and MSM daily yrs ago and swear by it.At one point in my life,I couldn't even kneel on the ground for 10 seconds without my knees killing me but not since starting that supp protocol.Definitely did wonders for my knees and my hip.Seems to have also help ease arthritis pain.

 

[F.I.S.T.]

Today was supposed to be an iron day for me but yesterday we want hiking and swimming and im whooped today.Went running with dogs,played frisbee with the kids,and hiked for about 5 miles.My ass is draggin.LOL.Will be hitting it again tomorrow though.
