Originally posted by Respect Power View PostAbsolutely I take a week off . I'll lift heavy for 10 - 12 weeks and take a week or two off and always feel like I grow during that rest . Then I ease back in with lower weight and higher reps and a lot of caliastetics ,p90x type stuff , jogging ,jumping rope for about 8 weeks to cut whatever fat I gained while I cycle off creatine and caffeine . Then a week off and I go on a gain again . Constant pattern ..

2 weeks is too much though.
Originally posted by Spray_resistant View PostI 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.

Originally posted by Respect Power View PostU 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 !

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.Last edited by SouthPawHitman; 02-28-2015, 04:59 PM.
