Do people on steroids train different? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Stanco · 22-01-2007, 07:57 AM

Than to natural bodybuiders? Are they able to train for longer? The reason im asking is because i wanted to know if copying the training routines of professional BB's is wise. Are they able to train more because they're on the juice?

When you are on gear you have more strength and recvoery ability so yes you can train longer if you want.

I wouldnt follow the routine of a pro bber in Flex as they are made up.

As for training different to natural bbers, the question is not very condusive to a good answer because a natural competitive bber will train different to a recreational bber. Same as a gear rinsing Big Dave McBig will train different to a pro athlete or a top amateur like James L, Paul S, Wade etc.

Training differs from person to person, gear only increases the ability to recover and lift nothing else.

It should be very similar. You may recover slightly better on steroids, so could perhaps increase either volume, frequency or intensity.

Certainly you should be able to lift more weight on gear, but your training methods shouldn't be wildly different (assuming you've found something that works for you).

So is that all steroids does? Give you more strength and better recovery?

Thats the benefits from them, also presents a fuller more hard looking muscle tone under low Bodyfat.

Obviously different ones have different strengths and sides

Why so many steroid related questions Stanco? I thought they were not waht bodybuilding was all about?

Why not focus your energy instead on, Diet, Exercise, Rest and Supplementation?
