One of the benefits of AAS is the ability to push yourself harder for a longer period of time. Off cycle, I'm normally in the gym 3-4 times per week; but on cycle I'm hitting it 4-5 times per week. My body can handle so much more and I feel incredible when on. However, I still need to be smart and practice well-established principles of proper rest and recuperation, but I can break some of those rules without tragic effect with the right substances in my system.
