cheat day on training day or non training day

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
just posted this on training forum also as keen to find out peoples methods and opinions


does it matter or make any difference to results if you train on a cheat day or cheat on a training day

or is it better to have your cheat day as a day off from training also

I couldn't train on a cheat day. I'd be too busy planning my next meal.

I always like to do them either the day after legs or back when my body can take advantage of the extra insulin and calories.

I agree, my leg day is friday, I eat good on friday but alot more then I normally would...then sat is my cheat day, and my day off. So I say day off should be cheat day but keep in mind when you do your large muscle groups

I was thinking of adding a cheat day into my week when things become more serious, so this information is great to have, and it makes a lot of sense to "replenish" after large muscle days. Something I will definately remember.

Nice, keep us updated on how the cheat days go. Also, if you live some place that actually has a winter unlike my city (Phnx). I used to live in Denver and In the winter I give myself two cheat days, I wear more clothes and im not at the park shooting hoops with my shirt off, so bulking in the winter with that extra day works for me. Spring time, I watch what I eat closer and cut my cheat day down to one day...so im ready for a shirtless summer

I cheat every weekend basically. I'll eat what I need to accomplish my goals from Sunday through Thursday, but on Friday and Saturday I'm eating what I want.

Usually I don't go crazy though.

^ This...

I didn't eat anything Monday until about 1 am Tuesday morning. Monday I cut grass and did some yard work, then went to the gym. I felt good as hell in the gym too. Probably because of the weekend re-up.
