When "on" you can up your training frequency as well as intensity. This study on Horses explains some of the mechanisms at work. It seems that ALA again would be a great add-on to any cycle to enhance the glycogen repletion rate by improving insulin sensetivity and taking advantage of this higher insulin concentration. Here's the abstract,comments welcome.....
Effects of nandrolone treatment on recovery in horses after strenuous physical exercise.
To test the effect of nandrolone on their recovery, six adult half-bred riding horses performed a competition exercise test (CET) and a standardized exercise test (SET) on consecutive days before and after a 2-week treatment with the anabolic steroid nandrolone laurate.
Nandrolone administration increased the rate of muscle glycogen repletion after exercise, an increase that may be explained by increased glucose output by the liver, higher plasma insulin concentration, and increased insulin-independent glucose transport, but not by better availability of lipid fuels during recovery.
