Taking a break?

[Originalgangsta317]

How often do you breh's take a break off?

Most guys say every six weeks they take a week off then get back to lifting.

What's y'all take,or how much time do y'all take off before lifting again?

I dont take extended breaks, at most a week or so if im on vacay and travelling
Maybe if Im real busy miss a few gym days
But that period of getting back on track I avoid it like the plague
shyt if I cant make it to the gym, I work out at home

 

[NSSVO]

take 5 days here and there

I only see a reason to take time off if there's a lingering injury.

Makes sense as well

Just listen to your body if it has been months since you had time off it wouldn't hurt to take a week. And it can initially be better in the long term scheme of things.

only pump up for the summer months
everybody's off on vacay it's time to flex and pull bytches


other than that it's light work keep the lungs and heart pumping but give my muscles and joints happy young and full of life

That's all I had at one point in my life to breh

I usually take three days off on the thrid week. it's hard sometimes because once you're resting u have the urge of working out. like another poster just said , you have to listen to your body.

Switching routines and goals can help with not needing breaks.

I've had a rotator cuff problem since June, continued to lift with some pain but I have now taken 5 weeks off the gym which has been the longest I have done in some time. Shoulder is healing up now and will begin to lift properly again later this week....other than that I take a few days off when I feel the need to, I don't set a date for it.
