layoff=good

[SAGAT]

i just had my first workout after a 5 day lay-off period. i know that i was in fact slightly overtrained but now i feel nice and fresh again. everything felt surprisingly light and i shed a few lbs. of fat as well.
so to everyone who feels overtrained/burnt out, etc.; take a couple days off! you'd be surprised how much it can do for you.

I agree with this 100%
Even moreso with periodization and sheduled layoffs...

 

[SAGAT]

i think i'm gonna schedule them as well from now on...simple things like this can really do a lot for ya

right now i think im in the peak of my strength, and i get plenty of rest days, but i did get overtrained a couple of months back, so i took 4 days off and i came back stronger then before.

Excelllent, I'm glad the rest worked out well. Like Dr.Bones said, start looking into some periodization too.

thnx bro, will do. i must say i'm really surprises at the effects, i even upped the weight on GMs a bit. curious as to how it'll workout tomorrow!

Today`s my first day of a week off. So far so good, but it feels weird not lifting. lol I NEED the rest I`m aching/tired/ overtrained etc etc etc

I`m at my best now though. re strength and size

 

[SAGAT]

i know it feels awkward not lifting bro. but it's well worth it in the end trust me

I took the holiday off - and now I have so much energy I really don't know what to do with myself.

I want to call out of work and hit the gym
