Hi Just got up this morning after about 3 days rest from hitting the gym and was feeling my arms and depressingly, my muscles are feeling soft. I love the pump you get from working out, but that seems to go very quickly - it almost feels like I've lost muscle! What's the average time ppl lose...

I've been training hard for atleast a year now without a major break. The least I've worked out in the last year was 2-3 days a week. I'm usually hovering around 4-5.
