Stir crazy on days off

[Lee]

holy crap, i hate not lifting. ive sat in my house all day just making sure i eat what im supposed to and watching tv, i think im gonna explode. i start my new workout split tommorow which is only 3 days a week, i think on my days off ill go crazy. i need somethin to do!

off days feel so .. unproductive..

 

[Zander1983]

I'm to the point where a day doesn't go by where I don't do some form of training, whether it be weights, cardio or active-recovery. It is torture if I'm not doing something, especially when weights aren't involved. If it weren't for soccer, I'd be training every day of the week (in some form). Fortunately a game leaves me completely ruined the next day, and since I'm riddled with various injuries I manage to do bugger all

off days are when you grow. learn to love them and understand what they mean to your progress.


may i recomend playstation and eating cheese?

 

[gonelifting]

Are you guys training hard enough??? Damn I do everything I can to get the soreness down from my workouts and try to recover and grow before the next scheduled one.

i know, i took off thurs, fri sat, and sun... i didnt work out for 4 days, i feel like garbage

 

[Zander1983]

I lift 3, maybe 4 times a week tops, as hard as I can. On top of this, I have one soccer match and one or two days of cardio or active recovery. The fact I'm champing at the bit is more a mental, rather than physical thing. Just love it

well im starting to new split today, with the volume im gonna use, i should be somewhat sore tommorow, even though when i completely burn myself out, i usually dont get sore, i dunno why i dont get sore, but it doesnt really matter to me, soreness isnt the only way to make progress

 

[bigstve12]

Off days blow...Im usually really sore but the I need the adrenaline rush and mental aspect of lifting, thats the part im addicted to. Try some active relaxation shit..like some low key biking, or go for a walk or something

 

[jerkbox]

you guys need some hobbies...lol

play videogames and get a girlfriend to occupy your time. I got the first part down right now

The body does need days to recover, think of these "off" days as recharging, eat, eat, eat, and eat some more, Playstation is great, if you don't have a girlfriend or wife, I recommend internet porn and masturbation, and LOTS of it, and even if do have a gf , I still recommend it.....but seriously, these days are just as key to your progress as time in the weight room or on the track or treadmill or wrestling mat or field of play...or whatever it is that you do, it is physical and just as important mental recovery, if you are training hard you owe it to your body, mind, and CNS to recharge, you will be a much more explosive athlete than if you run yourself down.

 

[gmanlax7]

yes you gotta get some interests so you dont sit around counting the s econds till your next workout

as mentioned, girls and sports are the funnest and healthiest

play chess

smoke weed and nap
