question about rest

[t3project]

ok, just finished up a 6 week routine. is it a good idea to take a week off before starting the next one?

Yes especially if you are feeling overtrained, you will come back feeling much stronger and rest is where growth occurs. I used to have a tendency to overtrain now I try to get more rest and my result are better too.

well, i had thought about going 8 weeks w/ this current routine but this week i havebeen run ragged and havent been able to train. since i have not been able to get anything accomplished i figured this would be a good week to take off.

next week i will start pullnbig's mass building routine and get my eating habits fixed.

Take a light week. Go to the gym and go for high reps with light weights. You only need a week off if you are feeling run down.

rest is wlays good especially if you were very consistent on your 6 week routine. Let the muscles recoup for a few days.
