I'm just thinking out loud here, and I know that it's a try-it-and-see type situation, but I can't decide how I should train during my next cycle.
When I'm off steroids, I train 3x a week push/pull/legs. I've tried every split under the sun and it seems like this is the most effective way for me to keep gaining. Every now and then I get greedy and try and train more often, but whenever I drop it back my recovery, strength and size improves.
When I go on cycle, though, I try and take advantage of the increased recovery and train 6x a week. Seems only logical.
But now I'm thinking, what if this isn't the best idea? If I grow best on a 3x a week split when I'm unassisted, perhaps the 3x a week will be even better when I'm on? Maybe bumping up the training volume is a bad idea?
What do you guys think? If you were in my situation, would you resist the urge to increase frequency and train the way you know your natural self responds best to, or would you increase the frequency the way I normally do, despite it not being the best way for your natural self to grow (and so potentially not the best way for your assisted self either).
Decisions, decisions.
Thoughts?
