Do you take a week off lifting? Poll.

[Goodfellers]

Do you/have you taken a weeks rest off of all working out?

[Falcon8334]

we all should once in a while to heal muscles, and to just have a rest,

I never lost any gains or strength, but make sure you keep eating

[JuggernautGeoff]

no 80% or more every day

[LiftCore]

Nope. Just deload.

[AwkwrdBrazilian]

I skip strength days and deload on hypertrophy ones.

[Goodfellers]

Nope. Just deload.

What is deload? Srs.

[Syconautix]

Never. High volume every week

[danlsann]

Haven't taken a break since I began lifting.

[chicheto93]

It's beneficial to do it every 8-12 weeks. Let your central nervous system and joints relax.

[patelvm]

only if im not at home. vacation or something, but even then... still gotta do something even if you dont have weights

[Icepray]

Nope, unless all lifts drop drastically

[DropitPJ]

nope. Just deload.

hit a plateau, took a week off then coud lift 20lb more for bench, 25lb more for deadlift and 10lb more for squats, had gone a year and a bit without a break up till then. Im gonna do it every three and a half months now.

Deload means,
using lower weights than normal for a short amount of time but still allow to maintain muscles
for example if you Ez Bar curled 30kg and done tricep push down 30kg
to deload would probably be like 20kg ez bar curl and 20kg tricep push down for a week

get it now?

My life revolves around lifting as a teen. I have nothing else to do if I were to take a break. I'm sure I have other hobbies, but yet to seek.
