+ 1 Taking an extra day to recover
ad
Took today off. I am a M-F lifter with Sa-Su off and decided to give my self an extra day to recover this wk. I do not under estimate the need to recover (especially while ON) and seeing that I'm realllly starting to kick and am getting that "ready to go again" feeling a 1/2 hr after working it to "almost" failure I figure its a good time to listen to my head and NOT my body cuz my body will tell me to ADD a day not take a day off. Today I will fill my day with feeding and napping... (Because I can!) : )

Don't worry about it.I do the same thing sometimes.Heck everyone does it sometime or another.I will take a week off once in a blue moon.It will help more then hurt.
you may as well take another day off
In my personal experiences I have found no benefit training 5 days rather then 3 days during a bulking cycle. Im just a sadistic fuck and love torturing my body so i train 6 days anyway
Spent the day eating chicken/rice and sleeping. Feel ready to take on the world again
An extra day of rest sounds good, I want to train 7 days a week when I am on but I know that's not the right thing to do. That pump is addicting but for growing purposes rest is key.
Day off will let muscles load up for a good push.
we all need em!!! hope ya' enjoyed !!!
Shit, i took the whole week off to find a vehicle(sick of the bus). Couldn't find anything in my price range, ended up with a scooter and cant wait to scooter my big ass to the gym in the morning!
I didn't feel like going to the gym today, although it is/has been part of my plan for months now. I do weights M,T and Th,F...Friday I crush shoulders and tris right now. Had a LONG day at work yesterday, didn't get to hit my legs till evening and felt sorta tired this morning...even though I slept like a baby last night. Anyway, point being, I got to the gym around 11am this morning and hit it hard as hell for one hour or so, and then hit the elliptical for 20 mins after the weights. One of thee BEST workouts I have had in awhile!!! No pain, hurting, suffering thru, etc....just pushing and pushing and pushing SOME MORE and LOVING it!! It's too bad that can't happen all the time. It'll be weeks, maybe months before that happens again. Funny how sometimes days that I don't feel like really working out at all are the best workouts of my life. Now for some needed rest this weekend!! Maybe some cardio on Sunday?
Lucky, I got too many kids, work too much to nap, but damn I would love one right about now
Funny... The lights were out when I went to my gym this morning... a 24hr place. they kicked on after I was in there a sec. I hit chest pretty hard. Put my time in on the eliptical, then time to go to work. I get in my truck, and I always eat a banana and protein shake in my truck on my way to work 3 min. away. I was all sweaty, and dropped my shake, while chugging, in my lap. 1/3 of the shake on my seat and crotch. My truck is parked in a parking lot all day and it was in the 90's here. I about puked when I opened the door to go home after a shitty day at work. 8hrs bakin that shit in my seat... (cloth seats). I guess what I'm gettin at is maybe I should've skipped the gym today like everybody else!
I had to take today off as well. Everything is killing me except my cock! I can still use that d:
Im glad to see this post! I've had the longest work week known to man...so I took today off. Its a ab/trap/short Cardio day today so its not so bad. Tomorrow shoulders/triceps so ill be nice and rested...but for now its my robe, slippers and the recliner
Feeding and napping = second heaven dreaming about the next workout!
Same. I'm the opposite. My body says no but I'm itching to get back.
