    A lil R and R

    Took last week of from the gym and ate what I wanted, also taking this week off but back on the diet and doing cardio + abs. Ever since my injuries I take 2 weeks off every three months and for me its the best thing I can do, I hit the gym feeling like a pissed of gorrila at the end of the 2 weeks, and my workouts are reintensified and my joints feel great! Just thought I'd share that!

    That's good bro. I can't do two weeks, not even 1 week, but I do 3 days off at a time though and that helps me a bit too.

    your right though, that first work out back is so good.

    It kills me to take a week-2 weeks off but everything appreciates it, my elbows and back etc. Its what allows me to keep pounding all year.
