training break?

igulp · 17-04-2007, 04:03 PM

do people reckon there's any benefit in taking a complete training break? - let's say a week off maybe every 3 or 4 months?
I'm feeling a bit worn out not having stopped since before Xmas and I'm training hard to keep gains for the next 4-6 weeks but after that I reckon I'll have a week's rest, maybe just light cardio.

'hulahoops a complete source of protein'

i love it, especially if it was true. up till a couple of weeks ago, i would have several smoking materials to - ahem - 'help my bulking diet' and boy did it work. not quite hula hoops but several bags of similar combined for good nutrition practice with several bars of caramel, dime, mars, snickers..
you get the idea

hey ho happy days
seriously though thanks for the input

Although I cant think of any reason why being a pot head would stop you gaining, apart from the shift from a high protein diet to a high chocolate diet, I cant imagine it giving you the urge to lif weights.

Going to the gym stoned? Im not giving it a go. Going whilst on shrooms though...could be interesting/dangerous.
