Excellent thread.

I haven't worked out in about 3 or 4 months. This thread has inspired me and I will do a light workout today.

I do need to change my diet and lifestyle. I drink and do drugs everyday and have for several years.

If you are natty and lifting then creatine is a must.

Word! BCAA is also good.

I'm till waiting for the Brett Hart pics Spray

Be a long time for that, got no long locks anymore.

Making some gains just need to try to keep eating enough and beat my last workout from the prior week by at the very least a rep or 2 for each exercise.

U could be right ,maybe it's just my personal preference . After going hard for 12 weeks then taking a week off I'm not thrilled to jump right back in . But after that second week off I get super motivated and can't wait to work out. I'm in my 30's so I deserve the extra week lol...


Yeah man nothing wrong with that. I think my body responds well to switching like that. I start of between 5lb and 10 lbs less and at the six week mark I'm where I had maxed , then I got six weeks to set a new max . That's the plan !

Nothing wrong with that, I used to train improperly for years as a teen and in my early 20s, no way now I can get away with training all year round without my rest week every 11 weeks or so now.

I agree with a week.

2 weeks is too much though.

I have had to do that too this week as I started my new split routine Sunday, I was wondering if that was normal having such a hard time starting where you left off just from a week of rest. I for most of my lifts have been this week doing about 5lbs less than what I ended with before but yeah reps of 10s and 12s.
