Resting up for a week? what do yall think

[WalkingBeast]

haha, I knew I wasn't gonna get a suggestion for rest coming from the beast . Thanks for the encouragement though bro! You know what, I agree with you...like sometimes I'll come back stronger but other times I'll feel like I'll need a few more workouts to get back into the swing...I might hit chest like you said once this upcoming week and then take it easy for a couple days...its just so hard to get over that mental barrier of making yourself rest though haha...

I know how that is brother!! I dont like rest either!! Sometimes it can help joints though. I try to just switch things around enough, so that I can get around the pain and injury. If dumbell rows are flaring up my tendonitus I may switch up to T-Bar rows, or something that doesnt damage the area as much. Keep it up!!

lol, you are a gluttan for punishment.

It was a mirical last night, I FINALLY DID SOME ABs, albeit for abour 5 minutes.



If i take a week off, my numbers are really poor the following week. It all depends on how your body recovers. I recover very fast, but if you recover slow then a week might not hurt you. I know a lot of guys who can take a week off and be just fine, sometimes even stronger.

yea, I've done it in the past and I've surprised myself by being a little stronger...maybe a little strategic deconditioning time..HST-style...haha

Sometimes you need a break, listen to your body.

I take a week off a few times a year to give my body a break. I think it is well worth it in the long run.
