Contrary to common misconceptions, working out while on anabolic steroids does not make your job easier. It merely allows you to work harder, longer, for the result of growing stronger.
The job of anabolic steroids is to stimulate your muscles, allowing you to heal faster and choose what compounds to introduce to your body and what to discard. Using anabolic steroids makes you eligible for stacking, not slacking. To be frank, since anabolic steroids can rapidly repair your muscles and add a significant amount of strength to your body, almost twice the effort should be put into exercising and building your physique. For this reason, highly intensive workouts are ideal for maximising the results of anabolic steroids.
Our team has selected some of the most effective workout hacks you should try when you begin your next anabolic steroid cycle:
1. Rest Less, Lift More
If your main goal is to build bigger and more defined muscles, take less time to rest between sets. Resting between sets allows you to replenish your energy, but is more often used to increase strength as opposed to sculpting bigger muscles.
Studies have shown rest between 60 to 90 seconds between intense workouts produces the best results for muscle growth. This method of intense training also helps raise your natural testosterone levels, yielding more defined results. Since you’ll have added strength and faster healing times while on anabolic steroids anyways, this method should come off as a natural drill when on a cycle.
2. Train on Supersets and Giant Sets
Supersets are a set of exercises that are immediately performed after another set of a different exercise, without rest. On the other hand, a giant set is a group of three or more exercises conducted in succession to target just one part of the body.
In maximising anabolic gains, your workouts should be as extreme as possible, of course keeping within common sense to prevent injuries. Adding supersets and giant sets at least once during your workout will afford you the following benefits:
Time Efficiency: With supersets and giant sets, you will reduce your total workout time without reducing the quality.
Powerful Muscle Shock: Supersets and giant sets give your muscle fibres a good shock, encouraging faster recover and bigger growth.
Workout Intensity: The force used in these workouts complements the highly intensity workout required when taking anabolic steroids.
3. Adding Additional Sets and Reps
Utilize the strength brought by the pills and injectables to get the most out of your steroid cycle. Depending on the type of anabolic steroid cycle you’re on, one good way to achieve this is to add more sets and reps to your workout.
Aside from maximizing the effects of the steroid, adding additional sets will also develop your own strength, both physical and mental, even after you finish your steroid cycle.
How Many Reps Should I Aim for In a Set?
Select a weight that you can lift for 10-15 reps in a set. For example, ff you are bench pressing 70 pounds for 10 reps, shoot for another set with 12 reps when 10 becomes too easy. Continue adding to it until you reach 15 reps.
What if I can’t get up to 15 reps?
Pushing your body to extreme limits is one good way of making your muscles grow. If you’re finding difficulty after the 10th rep, take 5 deep breaths and keep pushing. Don’t take no for an answer until you reach that 15th rep.
