Deload day vs skipping

[oso0960]

Which scenario is better:

Monday - Workout
Wednesday - Deload
Friday - Workout
Monday - Workout

OR

Monday - Workout
Thursday - Workout
Monday - Workout

Or is there no difference? Either way I need a little bit of a break.

Deload.

You get to flush the damaged muscle with blood and encourage repair, flush out toxins, burn calories, relase "workout hormones", stretch, practice skill, etc.

Deloading is important. Remember i asked the same thing? i wanted to skip wednesdays squats but you said to do them and i did and i was glad. Like musketeer said blood flow encourages recovery and flushes out bad shit. burns calories. good stuff.

Haha you're right. I guess I already knew the answer, just wanted to find an excuse not to workout today

i agree with the responses, per most people... but i have an extremely physically demanding job, consisting of lifting, stacking, bending, etc... and because of the extreme nature of my job, i do better with days off than deloads... so if you have a job where you are constantly moving and lifting for 12 hrs a day i would go with the second option... otherwise the first like they said...
