omg dont ever take a "break"

[darkstang]

so i took a 3 month break of bodybuilding (not the smartest thing to do) and i went from 161lbs to 153lbs...... im so pissed right now. i know i deserve this because sometimes i only had like 2 meals a day and i was getting drunk every weekend

tomorrow im going to buy all my food water and supplements and this time im not going to cheat because im hurting my gains.. im going to try to put at least 6lbs this 3 months

[athrun340]

3 months? lifting weights is so addictive .. i cant even stay away from it for a week.. lol ..

[MSmith19]

Muscle memory, it probably won't take too long.

[BSN dude]

I went on vacation weighing 165(really lean too) and came back 152 lol. Imback to 159 but that is never going to happen again! I know how ya feel man.

[Shoo Head]

A break is 1-2 weeks...

Not 3 months.

lol thats exactly what i did i went to cancun and i moved from california to cd juarez (mexico) so i didnt had a gym membership and all that took me 3 months

[jmac219]

yea i know what you mean too. over the summer i was out on vacation for 3 weeks and then on another vacation for a month. so i had no access to weights or any gyms. i came back home and all my lifts went down quite a bit. and i could tell i lost some muscle mass. but it took about 2-3 weeks to gain it all back through hard work. it sucks taking a break from lifting

[RubberBandMan30]

HA. Try a 6 month break from 200 lbs. to 173 lbs. I should be dead.

[Sculelos]

Breaks are beneficial if taken properly, I like to go 9-12 weeks then break for a few days, or maby even a week, but any longer then a week isn't good for your gains unless you've been seriously overtraining for quite some time, then maby 2 weeks would be good.

[foxshox]

I just went to college and lost 7 pounds.. But I look more cut so meh w/e.. Although being at 150 was a huge mental boost.

[Atreyu_Fan]

Yea dude same here... went from 70kgs down to 65

And whenever i try get back into it ill get half the first day done due to lack of energy/motivation and always miss the rest of the week.

I shall try get back into it again tomorrow =\

[badgangstaadam]

[Snowman723]

I took 2 months off for rugby... I gained 5lbs and my Legs got stronger

Gained like 10lbs in Squat lol, I guess my coach is right,the Scrummaging machine is good for ya even if I want to kill myself after one session lol

[Chris0288]

I'm in exact same position, been away from lifting since June, so 4 months

Been doing alot of running and football, so I'm fitter and quicker but I feel small, back to lifting on Monday!!!

Hardcore over winter, hopeing to put on atleast 10lb by Feb, doable?
