well you definitely shouldn't recover slower...ur workouts are prolly just a lot more intense right now...

yeah.... definetly

but instead of doing 3 sets to finish an exercise, ill do 4, and sometimes 5 (squats or benching.... and maybe a few more compound movemnts)

the only problem I have on my Prohormone cycle is that my muscle crap more out of the gym. I, like you have picked up the intensity. I was very sore the first 2-3 weeks, mostly from lack of a good diet. But now I am back to normal. Keep workin hard and your body will become less sore. Just drink like a fish.

oh, I would be resting or sleeping more, seeing you have added that much more intensity to your lifts.

It is still possible to overtrain on prohormones. What are you using, and what does your workout look like?

Currently I'm on Finigenx Magnum, made by Pharmagenx, which is a pre-cursor to tren..... along with that I take a creatine/NO supplement pre-workout, a creatine shake after workout (followed by a protein shake soon after the creatine shake), and about 3 other whey servings throughout the day...... small one in the morning, small one in the evening, and usually at least one larger one between meals.... depending on what I eat during the day.

I lift 5 days a week, with a split most people do not prefer (arm day included)
Chest - 4 sets of benching to failure, 3 sets of incline, dips, crossovers
Back - 3 sets Rack deadlifts, (adding in good mornings here), 4xlat pull, 3xbent over rows, and then 3x pull machine(haha one of those you just sit in)
Off day
Shoulders - 4 sets of military to failure, 3 sets of upright rows, 3/4xshrugs, 3xraises(front or lateral, mixing up each week probably), 3x bent over raises
Legs - 4/5 sets of squats, 3/4x leg press, 3x leg extention, 3x standing calf pushes, 3/4/5x hamstring curl
Arms - 4x barbell curl, 2x cable curl, 2x incline curl, 3x verticle curl, 3x skull crusher, 3x tricep pushdown, 3x cg grip, 2/3 tricep dip machine

I do a few more sets since I got on the cycle, as I really want to get some strength gains from it.....
Fortunetly I can sleep 8 hours a night, and I usually do (somtimes more if I fall asleep early)

11 sets of bis seems like overkill, but it doesn't seem like to heavy of a load. Some people can't do 5 days straight without overtraining. I believe I am one of them. Can you do 3 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off? Your recovery should be improved from the finigenx, but that doesn't mean your central nervous system won't get burned out. You could combine your chest and shoulders into one workout and have a four day split. Everyone responds differently, though. How long have you been on cycle?
