How long do your workouts last on cycle vs off cycle on TRT ?

[jiffysound]

I was wondering how long your workout's last while you're on cycle vs when you're cruising on TRT. Myself I am on cycle and I timed my Chest and Tricep workout last night and it lasted 55 minutes. I did about 5 different exercises for my chest with 8-10 reps each set, final set being about 5 reps to failure and 7 different ones for my triceps, about 10-12 reps per exercise with the last rep being about 6-7 reps until failure. All of this lasted 55 minutes, I used my iphone timer to check. I took about 25-35 second rest period between chest reps, and 2 minutes rest between each chest set, for my triceps I took 10-15 second rest periods between reps and 1 minute between sets. And I took 3 minute break between each exercise for chest and 2 minute between each exercise for triceps. Now this is going at a fast rate, my heart rate never went below 125 beats per minute with spikes to 150 right after each set. I check these things with my apple watch. That thing comes in handy, for those that don't own an apple watch I would advise you to get one, only if you have an Iphone to pair it with, otherwise stick to what you have now. Now when I go off cycle these times will most definitely increase to something like and hour and a half total. I just don't get the angry, teeth grinding, full of gusteau and energy when off cycle, when on I feel like I can go on forever but I have to stop myself because I would injure myself pretty fast if I didn't halt after those 55 minutes. Right after workout I drink a shake made with grilled salmon, basmati rice, yam, 4 whole eggs cooked and milk, it does not taste good at all but it provides my aching muscle with all the nutrients they need post workout, have been doing that for years now, I am used to it, I just swallow with my back of the throat to get rid of the taste as much as possible. Then I take my shower and then I eat my 6th meal, take my 6iu of HGH, eat a THC infused eatable and go to sleep. That's my daily routine for my workouts. Ok now I got off track, so anyway, how are you guys managing your time in the gym, is there anything you would tweak with my routine ? Any input is appreciated as always.

It's not like I woke up one day and though, hey it would be a good idea to make a salmon and rice milkshake ,it's been a slow process, but it sure saves me a lot of time in prep and chewing and swallowing, I try to use my time as best as possible. I sleep 9 hours a night, with one wake up in the middle of the night to eat meal # 7 to keep my muscles fed, it's very dark and my black curtains don't help any. I have a dark nightlight that is red colored, like in a submarine to keep my eyes dilated to prevent from waking up 100%. Plus I can urinate to empty the bladder at night which by 2-3 am is full, so that's me no longer than 25 minutes.

Wait I think I must of messed something up, i do normal reps, up and down, up and down and then I rest for 25-35 seconds between the next set, not between each rep.

Thought so. I could never imagine someone laying there 25 seconds, then up. 25 seconds then up. Wtf . But I wouldn't be surprised with you... Anything seems possible with you.

 

[Startingover]

Mine have always been by feel..
Forget about aas,trt,etc
Hows I sleep
My mind clear.
Know right out gate if my intensity is there..
If all is good?
2/2 1/2 hrs core would be in tjere as well
If not hitting on all cylinders
45mins to 1hr, to 1and a half hours

 

[Astro95]

Train the same amount of time, unless rushing for life/work reasons.

Your shit sounds so busy and stressed man. 4-5 hours sleep and 4 hours to yourself. Sucks we such slaves and have to live that way. Take it easy man. All the best. Fkn bullshit.... Yet u still make time to train. Respect

Appreciate it brotha.

I dont really believe long workouts are needed.

I workout twice a day for about 40 minutes each sometimes less. I take a muscle group and do 3-4 exercises then later that day I do the same thing with a different muscle group.

same on and off cycle.

I'm on TRT too... 210mg a week of ATIPP

Lifting is lifting, don’t overcomplicate things. Obviously you shouldn’t be throwing around weight you do at peak bulk while on cruise…. But the point still stands, if you feel good bring the intensity. If you aren’t feeling so good, back off the weight and volume until you do. Listen to your body and you won’t go wrong.

 

[mackaveli23]

I train 4 days out of the week. I take a rest day after lifting no matter what. 40-50 minutes tops of heavy intensity

Great thread Jiffy! I agree with @Deezo in that you might be the most interesting dude on here. I'm glad you found this board.
on Cycle I'm pumping 6X /week roughly 1 hr to 1 1/4 hr. After this last blast I broke for vacation 14 days. Did touch Iron & only did 2 maintenance pins. Cruising, which I'm returning to now workout 3X / week for 2 hrs per session & I cut my Kcal intake substantially while cruising.

Thank you for the kind words that you wrote down, I really appreciate it, I really do. It's been difficult to find a board with as many positive folks as you bro's are. I searched up and down using duckduckgo and it feels like I struck gold. It is an improvement on myself and you guys in total. Like I stated in an older thread that I found you guys on accident, I was searching for something different but my duckduckgo results led me here, it must of been the hand of god that I clicked on the link, and I am very weary of new places, I don't just go around clicking thing in random, that's the easiest way to get your computer compromised. But to stay on topic I am grateful of the knowledge I have received. Thanks to you guy my current cycle is dialled in and I am ready for week 4. August 6th to August 12th is week 4, by the end of week 4 I will be dropping DMT and sticking with the 3 oil approach, plus the added amount of calories which makes it 500 grams of protein, 500 grams of complex and simple carbohydrate and 250 grams of fats / virgin olive oil, dark peanut oil, and other types of oil. This amount to 6250 KCal aka calories split into 6 + 1 meals , 1 being a midnight meal.

 

[Wiseguy]

I always start with one hour of cardio, no exception. Followed by 35 to 40 minutes of lifting depending on body part. 10 minutes stretching and cooling down at the end. So all together approximately two hours.

 

[Powerhousehb]

My workouts and cardio do not change much. Regardless of cycle or TRT. I just try for consistency and balls to the walls workouts.

Train on gear like you would train off the gear..
This doesn't mean don't train hard.
Shouldn't be spending more than 1.5hrs at the gym and that's pushing it.
If your training is hard enough, good time under tension, and controlling the weight and contracting the muscle, your actual time working out would be less than 1hr.

Shouldn't be training any longer if you're on cycle simply increase intensity and make use of the rest time to recover and let those muscles grow.

Anavar shows very little to zero liver toxicity and thats a well known fact.
NAC wouldnt hurt no matter what you take.
Anavar is metabolized primarily by the kidnes and to a lesser extent by the liver
I wouldnt even bother taking Liv52 or any other liver support supplements while I`m on Anavar.
One more interesting thing about Anavar:
Anavar (Oxandrolone) helps to increase the serum concentration and anticoagulant effect of warfarin

Yea I got an Apple Watch for this reason . Super helpful health tracking info

Any scientific findings all you need is an hour?
What does an hour do exactly for all your needs..
Curious...

ONLY using "an hour" as a reference , also not including any cardio in that time if your goal is to burn calories or improve heart health.
Training time could be much less for some individuals and based on goals (speed , stamina) but if training for size or strength anything over that is counterproductive.
Someone is either not training hard enough or overtraining.
There's always the outliner like the genetic blessed and super sauced to the gills.

My workouts are the same regardless of the drugs i am using.

 

[Doug 64]

I agree with @ruffus...my time usually stays the same...now the intensity is another story. On my last cycle I was lifting like I was 20 something again. Psychologically it felt great...once the joints caught wind I was HURTIN! It was a great lesson learned and thanks to any number of the Bros here...im ready to hit it again with the proper mindset...59 ain't 20!

That makes sense.
According to goals or astetics you goung for..

 

[Halfi]

My workouts are just as long off cycle. Anywhere from an 1hr-2hr My rest periods are how ever long it takes my body to tell me I’m ready to go again. I don’t time it. Just go in throw weight around… chase a massive pump and go home.

By the way that shake sounds disgusting. Your a fucking champ dude
