I know what you mean about the soreness. I find it as a positive to a week off though. I begin to miss it somewhat.
Also, remeber that this state of slight deconditioning can result in some good gains in size and strength.
I will be the first to admit that I dont take a break often enough. When I do though I always seem to make good progress upon return. Sore progress but good.
hehe, yeah, i must admit, it was tough… but feels good now. i THINK i’ve grown a bit during that week. just kept loading up on proteins and food. sleeping in and just relaxing.
i guess i’ll start doign this every 2 months or so.
