? on weight training layoffs

[SSJDragonPOWER]

I took a week off from weight training starting from january 21-25 to go to Vegas. I've been reigning on the buffet and eating so much for each meal that I felt so bloated. I've been doing pushups every other day and have been eating 2 power bars a day to make up my meal intakes. Ever since I came back from my trip it appears that the six pack i had once is fading away. Is this normal when taking a week off from weight training? Should I consume the same # of calories on breaks like these as if I was working out on a daily basis or should I consume less since i'm not working out? please help and respond

It depends. If you care about haveing a 6-Pack and being ripped year round then your should take in less calories, since you will doing less (this will definately take out all of the fun of a vacation). But, if you don't mind adding some fat that will be easily taken off in a week or 2 then go on a binge and eat everything and have fun doing it. Just remember that vacations are supposed to be fun. You don't have to stay in your best shape year round.

You're just fattening up...cut down on the calories and the 6pack will come back.

if u wanna bulk up... u shouldn't worry about ur 6 pac.. u cant have both YET!!... so i suggest that u eat away.. gain ur weight... bulk up to ur desired weight... n then concentrate on burning the fat around ur mid section away.... its a catch 22 situation
