I hate taking time off

[Mike_Rojas]

I'm on a necessary layoff from the weights, and I hate it. I keep wanting to go lift, but I know it will just drain me.

I have to take a week off once in a while or I start losing strength.

 

[Devastation]

it's a necessary evil

Read This while you are not lifting. might make you feel better

Thanks devastation. Damn weight training is addictive, and it's hard to take a break.

Looking through my log books I see I always plateau after about 4 weeks. Last time I took a week off I came back a lot stronger and totally motivated.

You should be able to go longer than 4 weeks before needing a lay-off. IMHO.

Indeed.

Re-evaluate everything. Aside from training, are you eating well (quality in addition to quantity!), sleeping enough, stressed?
