Don't change your diet, just think of the week as a recovery week. Keep your diet the same way and take creatine and glutamine as you would before.

Exactly.

actually a week of may not be a bad thing... i took one a few months ago and i came back stronger. Give the body a chance o rest a lil too.

Off weeks are fucking wonderful after a nice strenuous cycle. Study hard and eat everything in sight. Its finals week here right now and I am about to freak out, seems like my training is that much more intense thanks to the added stress. Glutamine is for recovery so unless you are sore still I really dont see why you should take it and as for the creatine.......BLAH.

You could always do some running or basketball or something, cardio can do wonders in making your muscles look bigger.

i agree but aside from that....

it sucks that your campus gym is closed dude, i think working out can be very theraputic during finals.
