working out today after a 5 day planned layoff

[jerkbox]

every 2 or 3 months, I like to take a 5 or 7 day break from training altogether.....so, I haven't trained since thursday.....right now I am feeling well rested and pumped up to get back into the gym today....I know I will have a good workout. And I am hoping to achieve a few PR's.

I always come back stronger after a short layoff.

You'll tear it up, no doubt!

On June 27 I'm going to Queensland for nine days of absolute bugger all That is my scheduled layoff... I'll keep myself occupied with some jump rope, sprinting and bodyweight GPP circuits though...

This is good. I like to take a 5 day layoff every couple of months.

I know the feeling bro. I hit a wall sunday in the gym when I felt my motivation seep out. So I'm now on day 2 of a 5 day lay off. It'll be a nice feeling to get back and be refreshed and motivated.

Good luck.

Great to hear man. I do the exact same.. went back yesteday after a 10 day break. Doesn't seem to throw me off or anything so all is well.

Very good man. Very good. You will get those PR's.

I have been known to take up to 2 weeks off every couple months or so. Extra rest and extra food never hurts as long as you can take your body puttting on the extra bf%. It will count in the end when you are pressing and pulling stones!
