Off Days? Necessary even on gear?

[swordfish151]

thanks to all.....1 day off for me if what I am shooting for and on that day, 30 minutes of light cardio...still makes me feel sluggish by 6pm, but its a necessary evil I guess....

I think i might do that 30 min cardio on that off day..would benefit me greatly and the addtional cardio will be good to lean out.

off days i stick to jumping rope and jumping jacks. if im lucky and theres a double dutch jumprope contest in harlem i hit that shit up hard and count that as a training day.

I take Complete off every seventh day. That makes my 8th day more energetic.

My body needs to rest at least 1-2 full days a week, regardless. My strength and pumps are WAY better when well rested and feeling 100%.

While you may recover faster I always think a rest day is important.

On i have to force myself to rest , i could go everyday but try train 5 out of 7 days instead .



Off can be a real struggle ... off seperates the men from the boys , 4 out of 7 will maintain gains but not pack on much of anything new . I hurt like hell the next day so it pretty much forces me to take a day in lue





Adjusting the weight post cycle is the tough part ... getting use to chucking around 20% more on cycle is a mental challenge to back off post cycle , this is where alot of guys fuckup and get injured or return to the juice to fast because they can't handle the strength lose .

This. Nice post.

Title says it all.....how many days are you active/train on and of cycle?

I still like 2-3 days per week to recover and grow
even ON a cycle.

Definitely need some off days, eat rest grow

You might not need it but if you want to build muscle you should take it. prob 2 days a week. I usually take less rest days when I want to get cut/solid

I rest 1 to 4 days per week. Over the last few weeks I have pretty much rested everyday
