Stir crazy

[bignate73]

i dont mind. sometimes i feel i should be doing something...then i do a bodypart check. either sore or stiff or tired, i generally know its time to lay off for a day.

I absolutely hate my days off. I can deal with Wed off (M, Tue, Th, Fr on), but taking the whole weekend off kills me. If I was cutting I would dedicate at least one of those days to some hardcore/fun cardio (is there such a thing?). For now, I have made Saturday my grip/forearm day. It is fun as hell and doesn't really get in the way of recovery.

I have my split set up so I only take a day off at a time. M/W/F/Sa training. I also run sprints on other days or try to do something else active. Can't stand to sit still.

I hear you bro

I've also developed a physical and psychological addiction to lifting (and, though less, cardio)


What is your schedules (days on/off) JKurz ?

What does your routine look like for grip?

My schedule is 2 on 1 off 3 on.......so, my off days vary. HATE it when it's M-F cause I'm sitting in my office all day and need a release.....don't mind it as much on the weekend cause I fill the void with other shiznit......

i hit all my lifts and body parts on my shceduled days so i dont go crazy on my off day which is tomorrow..think im gonna play some golf

Sleep, possibly hit the buffet, sometimes staying in excess of 3 hours. Everything is focused towards eating on these days. I can deal with 2 days off each week, more and it messes with me. Im always so sore anyway when I take the days off. Feels good to be feeding the muscle and getting hydrated for thursdays chest workout. Ill often drink 64oz of gatorade for 3 days (along with 64oz of milk, which is everyday) before my chest workout. On the days I lift, which is around 5 days, alot of my time is in the gym and I have to make up for the lack of eating afterwards. I usually train on an empty stomache.
