I was lifting 5 days a week and hitting just about every body part seperate ex:
mon - bi's tri's
tue - chest
wed - legs
thur - shoulders
fri- back

I was getting awesome results, my bench went from 395 to 420 in about a month at 190 pounds)

A friend of mine, (whom holds state records in NY for PL'ing) told me that since i'm on gear that I should try hitting everything twice a week. I've been doing this for two weeks but my max bench went down to about 410. I think lifting heavy weights like that you need more than 3 days for recovery. I don't want to over train but then some muscles I feel you should hit twice a week (ie. biceps) So I'm kind of stuck in what I should do. I've never had a problem where I didn't know how a routine was working for me. Some feedback would be good for guys that know this type of dilemma. Thanks

some people can recover lifting 2x per week and others cant . many who lift 2x a week have a light day and heavy day . also DO NOT maxx out to often it stresses the cns and will drop your maxx even if you lift only 1 time per week .
 
Yeah I've been thinking that about the maxing out. I usually max out once a week. I'm just going to go back to once a week and just switch up volume and workload. I'll figure it out. Thanks Dawg
 
Smaller muscle groups like biceps fatigue faster in a workout but also recover faster than larger groups post workout.

But there's more rest days and ur so anxious to hit up the gym that ur raging when u pik that weight up! here's the link.

it's in the training session."iron man's HIT program" read that whenever u get a chance. Some good shit. IMO.
 
I might just try my good ol WSB routine again. Talk about strength.
 
WSB with a bit of tweaking works better than most "bodybuilding" routines for size IME.

WSB without doubt has produced some monsters.
 
Excellent routine for strength and power. I used to live and swear by the WSB routine. Not so much this year.
