Posting Training Questions

[Warrior]

Much like the AAS forum, when asking for training cycle critiques - don't forget to post some personal stats. Age, bodyweight/fat and especially your training experience all play significant roles in getting good responses.

Age, Bodyweight/fat
There are many differences between an 18 year old athlete and one that is 30 years their senior. Recovery ability, connective tissue strength and endogenous androgen levels can all be very different. Your weight and bodyfat helps others to determine what musculature you already have.

Training Experience
The training required by someone in an advanced stage is much different than a beginner just getting the mind-muscle connection. As we are able to handle larger loads we tax our systems much more - 315lbs for 10 puts much more stress on your system than when you could only do 135lbs for 10... your muscle grow but your organs, internal filtering processes and CNS do not (other than a motivational tollerance that is developed to cope with things like lactic acid burn). In the beggining, working the entire body a few times per week is usually the best answer - but the loads get heavier and the training more intense, more recovery days are needed per muscle group.

Your training experience also helps people to know what kind of knowledge you are bringing to the forum. If you have been a consistent for several years... than explaining how to preform a dumbell flye would be redundant...

Goals
Size, speed, and/or sport-specific training - all require different training cycles... for more focused results.

Existing/Previous Injuries
Existing or previous injuries are very important training variables to consider when designing a training cycle.

Ergogenic Aids
Sometimes it helps to add to your post what supplements you may be taking to assist with training and recovery. If you are on anabolic-androgenic steriods - this would deffinitly be a factor due to increased protein synthesis and cross over binding to gluco-corticoid receptors (cortisol blocking).

Basically - the more info you give... the easier it is for others to chime in with good feedback... asking, "Does this split look good?" is way too generic and not easy to answer...
