6 months is not a long time just try to rekindle that motivation somehow.

But a week break then and now can actually be "ben official".

Ohhhh man if I had points you would have gotten some for that one Haze lol.

Yeah breaks are good, you may start to get careless after a week though. How about doing at least one day of lifting in that week? Just go to failure on everything one day, blast uour body hard and then it's got some time to recooperate.

It's Monday! I don't workout on Saturday or Sunday, and I'm always fucking pumped for today and ready to go. T minus 45 minutes to upper body.

You should change up your work out.

If you've been doing the same routine for the past six months and just add more weight you might have platued.

Maybe rotate out some of your excercises and substitute similar ones that challenges the muscles differently, hit them at different angles, or at the least change it up the order you do them in after your one week respite.

I just took four days off and went back today. Felt like I could lift the whole freaking GYM up, man.

Quickly found out that I couldn't. I still got a good workout in. Y'know, one that I'm really gonna pay for tomorrow ....







.... when I go back.

I am sore as fuck

I've been to the gym twice since my 1 week break, and I've already moved up a notch on every machine.

Next time I go I'll be able to bench my weight.

I think the break did me well, I'ma take one now whenever I start to plateau

It's good to take breaks.

People don't take enough.

You should only lift each muscle twice a week.

I don't care what anyone says.

I used to do full body Mon. Wed. and Fri.

Than I got fatigued so now I only do it on Mon. and Thursday or Friday

And my weight keeps going up and I got energy for those 2 days to crush hard.
