Days off

[anthrax]

How many days off (neither weights nor cardio) do you take in 2 weeks ?

 

[wnt2bBeast]

why in 2 weeks?
i lift sun-mon-wed-fri
so thats 5 or 6 days depending on how you wanna count it

 

[AirWolf]

I lift MWF - and do cardio Tues, Sun and either Sat or Th depending on when I feel like I need a break.

When my weight workouts are pushing my body too much I take the break on Thursday...if not then I get to look forward to a relaxing saturday.

Depends on my work schedule since I work rotating 8 and 12 hour days. I prefer having 2-3 days off a week, but sometimes it is more.

my new slit is 3 on 1 off. I train my whole body in 3 days. when i cycle and want to add alot of mass i do my entire body in 2 days and take 1 off. but i cant do this for more than 4-6 weeks without overtraining.

 

[Illuminati]

depends on what you consider a day off. i do my main lifts on sun, tue, thur, and sat, and do some sort of supplementary workout or GPP on the other days.

 

[BOOEY]

I lift 5 days/week, so that's 4 days off in 2 weeks. Just curious, why do you ask 2 weeks?

 

[anthrax]

Just curious, why do you ask 2 weeks?

Not all people have the same routine every week

ir for me:

Week 1 = 4 days weights + 2 days cardio + 1 day off
Week 2 = 4 days weights + 1 day cardio + 2 days off

 

[theironclan]

Right now I will take off 4 days in two weeks. Some times I will only take 1 or 2 days off a month.

 

[Matt_M.]

I weight train Wed, Fri, Sun.

I do stretching routines 6 days a week, every day except Sunday.

I don't do any cardo persay. The only cardio I get is a REC basketbal leauge every Sunday. 6 minute 6 Quarter games. Not sure if more would be needed.

 

[letsgorangers]

lift MWF...cardio tues.......sat or sunday depending on if my games for the weekend are home or away (hockey)

 

[Powerbuilder333]

I do 3 heavy power training days a week, plus 1 light day of abs, rotator cuffs, and cardio.

LMAO good answer......

 

[MsBeverlyHills]

what are days off???? there is no offseason!

exactly. when im not at the gym, i just think about the other competitors that are working out & how they might come in a little harder/ more muscular because i decided to take a day off

its what separates the 1st place finishers from the 3rd place finishers.

4 days off in 2 weeks
