Jaws,
Do your recuperation abilities vary on and off the gear?

yeah, i gear definately makes a difference...when i'm on a test cycle feels like i'm never tired...only problem is i haven't done it in a few years and really don't plan on it anymore...so i gotta figure it out clean....

Damm! that's impressive recuperation times Jaws, especially off the gear. You young bros are damm lucky! Keep hittin it hard and hopefully your body won't be asking for less. <img src="http://www.massmonsters.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" width="15" height="15"><!--graemlin:-->

yeah, but note that i'm only doin each body part once aweek...so they get to rest alot...only place i ever feel fatigue is in the bis and tris...obviously cause they are used more...

the 6 day a week program and I am in my 20s. I am starting to bulk up. not sure what gear I will be using yet but the gear will not come in until Dec. I am going to go DC on that ass. I have trained conventional for so long it is time for a change. Do a search for info in DC. There were some good posts made a week ago of so.

My workout sched is similar to Jaws. I'm 33 and I've been doing 4-6 days a week for the last 4 years. I used to do chest 2x a week and now I'm too big for the rest of my upper body so I do biceps one night and triceps one night.

I usually go 45 minutes, never more than 1 hour.

I do what my body lets me. I wish I could have a set schedule every week - but it just isn't realistic. Some weeks I hit hard for 6 days. Some weeks I hit the gym 3 times.

- it all depends on if I slept enough, ate right, etc.


one thing for sure, I don't overwork my body. I just listen to what it tells me my limits are.

I'm 29 but feel like an old man.

...that 5x5 should be done M/W/F or similar with at least a full day off between workouts I put the Back and Leg days the farthest apart to maximize recovery time and Minimize overlapping of muscle groups(i.e. Squats & Deads as far apart as possible).
I'm 33 in a few weeks and off cycle currently, if you need a little more time to recoop, I'd say throw 2 days between session(especially when you lbs get high towards the end of the program)

Bronc,
Understand Bronc...was comparing my old workout regimen. Was wondering why I've been so dammed sore, and it's definitely attributed to the 5x5 routine. I guess I'm the oldest bro on this forum, and I'm only trying to keep up and attempt to run with the young dogs. These bros have some amazing reuperative abilities. Ahhh to be young!

RedLion,
You may want to give Bronc's routine a try. Very very intensive on the bod

***Go Big or Go Home***

...I work on cell towers and climbing the day after Squats is a freakin nightmare.

If your not already using, I definitely recommend:

5-10g Glutamine 2xday I do PW and Bed time

500-750g MSM 2xday

400mg Chondroitin Sulfate 3xday
500mg Glucosamin HCl 3xday (Move Free by Schiff is a good product that combines the two)

Some places like BJ's Wholesale or Sam's Club have real good generics at cheap $
