Need over-training advice on cycle

[Replicator]

Maybe,.. I use to be a long distance runner and covered 12 miles per day - every day for about 5 years in my mid to late 20s.

I might be wrong, but everyone's recovery rate is different - mine allowed me to train more frequently and continue to experience significant gains both as a runner and now in bodybuilding.

You recommended I build a routine around 4 days a week -- I have one that's 5 days a week -- which seems in line with my body's more rapid rate of recovory -- I'm confused Replicator.. what should I have "worked out"??

Worked out that you have to give yourself time off to recover in Body building. By far different from the running crack which is all about stamina!

You state your routine is 5 days in line with your recovery time. but yet you are the one that started the thread asking for over training advice , I have given some ..what you do with it is up to you
Good luck

LOL - Bro, I get what you're saying - and I do appreciate you stepping in and trying to help me out. But I wasn't asking for a critique on my training methods or whether my decade and a half of training experience was any good, all I was asking was 1) whether I should cut my anavar dosage while recovering and 2) whether there was anything I could train while recovering:

I have spent quite some time looking at many of the overtraining discussions on this board and I haven’t been able to answer these two questions:

1. Should I continue taking anavar regularly at the original dose or should I reduce or discontinue while I am not training? My gut tells me to stay on since I would be introducing a negative hormonal shift.

2. Is there any training I can do during my time off (e.g., calves, forearms, abs, cardio) or will that further impair my CNS recovery?

Which btw tenny did an excellent job of answering!

But don't get me wrong - I'm appreciative of being a part of this community and having the opportunity to ask and learn from so many experienced bodybuilders and professionals.
