It’s real hard but I am taking a day off tomorrow. I am a real hyper person, and Straight Edge (Anti-drug, alcohol, tobacco) and just take protein that’s all. People tell me I need weed to relax, but I get a crazy surge to train every day.[/quote]
So why in gods name would you take an off day then?
I don’t get this, why do some people feel the need to do something because someone said so, or just for the sake of it?
OP, are you taking a day off because you haven’t been getting stronger/burned out? What’s hyperactivity got to do with it if you’re still making gains?
I didn’t read every post here, but I don’t think anyone caught the fact that you only named 6 “days” and said you’re on a 7 day split. That would be a 6 day split regardless of whether or not you start over on day 7. Just a terminology thing.
That being said, without more specific information about performance/goals/progress, I think we’re all at a loss.
I called it a 7-day split because after I finish my cycle, it keeps going back to day 1 (for example whatever muscle I started at). Example: Chest, Shoulders, Legs, Back, Arms and so on. No days off that’s what I meant.
I am still making gains going everyday especially with my proper nutrition and sleep time. I am just saying that people are telling me that if I take a day off, I will gain more. Is that true or is everyone different? That’s all. I don’t feel burnt out. When I did Pro MMA and Boxing, we would go 7 days/week sometimes twice a day. Ofcourse I didn’t make gains, its ALOT because of cardio. But in Muscle Gaining, I am only going to the gym once a day, 60-90 minutes, and then I get to rest all day for 24 hours, 9hrs of sleep, and eat ALOT, where in fighting I had to keep my weight down, it sucked. I am not saying that Weight training/Body Building is easier because it is not. I am just saying this because people think I am overtraining and I’m not. I have very high tolerance and great recovery because of my previous career.
I really don’t know how people hit shoulders the day after chest…
Maybe I’m the pussy here, but I would sure as shit FUCK UP my front delts. And have my entire girdle ache for days.
Everyone is different and their bodies recover faster. It is not the same routine I use as I usually mix it up. The only thing is I do arms last. I do shoulders after chest because some shoulders was already hit doing chest. Therefore that day some exercises for front shoulders I go light and others heavy. For me it works.
As a GENERAL rule to go by with progression; you’re doing well if you’re adding 1-2% to your lifts every week.
Example, Bench press:
Wk1 - 200lbs
Wk2 - 205lbs
Wk3 - 210lbs
Believe me, you’ll KNOW when gains become crap (they’ll be up and down; you’ll look over several weeks of a benching log and realise that you’ve got very little to show for it for the time you put into it).
The more advanced you get, the slower the gains will get (closer to 1% gains or less each week). Also, the newer the exercise, the higher the jumps in load every week. So an advanced lifter may have maxed out on the flat press by 300-400lbs and make very little gains, but when swapping to a new exercise like dips they’ll be able to start progressing again.
haha, I’m a troll FUCK YOU STEROIDED FREAKS. I am a Pro MMA fighter and was curious, do you fuck faces get tired walking from the car to the gym? I am a real athlete, you guys are meatheads that will get your ass kicked by a UFC 155lb fighter.

I think it’s as simple as your muscles don’t grow while you workout, they tear. They grow when they recover, when you rest.
Yeah it’s been said many times, but no need to take an off day if you are perfectly capable of training.
