Hello guys,
Had a question. I was reading some of the articles written by Big Dave (btw, are very good) and it brought up a question (s). In every article I read about nutrition or training the same points are discussed. These points are anything from training frequency (how to avoid overtraining) to eating right (figuring caloric intake). I do have a solid grasp on training and nutrition and have made substantial gains over my years of lifting (started at 163lbs @15%BF now am at 200lbs @9%BF). I am, however, a little confused when it comes to AS. I know how to stack, cycle, taper, etc. and everything under the sun about the use of steroids, but not how they effect nutrition and training limitations or recommendations. when an article gives an example of how to calculate caloric needs based on if you want to gain mass or get cut it never mentions anything about the use of AS. How does a cycle effect protein needs? How does it effect caloric needs? Surely and individual's caloric needs for a gaining phase or dieting phase while on a cycle of AS will be different than if that same person were on a gaining or dieting phase but NOT ON AS. Is there any formula or rules to help with this discrepancy? This also applies to training. It is often advocated that AROUND 3 to 4 even 5 days of training per week (based on person recovery ability) is maximum. How is this determined or effected when ON AS. How much more could you train? Would the recommendation for a person that should train 3 to 4 days per week be moved up to training 7 days per week? Again, this could apply to sets and reps too. If a person advocates training 3 sets to failure normally and 4 exercise per bodypart does all the theories behind that logic hold true while ON AS?
thanks
