Need some advice: next week is a deload week. I am tired and could use the deload but it makes more sense to start the deload in 2 weeks, do I just push?
You answered the question before you asked it, @anna_5588.

Looks like we are going on a 9 day vacation in Europe for winter break-2 travel days, 3 days skiing, 4 days in London. Iām really anxious. So much food and no proper training.
Every time Iāve gone on vacation, I get set back. I hate travel. I just want to chill with family
