Has anyone lost any strength from taking a full week off?[/quote]
Yep,in fact, I do it more than I like to admit. I’ve even gone 3 weeks before because I just fell into a lazy streak. At the end of it I was fresh, refound / reignited my vigor for lifting and kicked ass. oh, I got a lot of “real life” shit done while I was “off”. Got to ride my bikes, road and mountain. had an absolute blast. It’s amazing how hard I could hammer through the woods when my legs weren’t mush from squatting and stuff.
I get the whole “training thing” and I get the desire to be “the best” and shit. fact is, I’m not willing to sacrifice my family time / Dawg time for a fucking piece of steel. To each is own, and YMMV.
