Best way to rebound out of a show
So, what's your favourite way to rebound out of a show?
Do you start eating anything and everything? Do you drop all your drugs or switch to off season AAS like deca, eq etc? Maybe take some time away from the gym and go on vacation?
I've tried the method Chad Nichols prescribes most of his clients (or did at least) which is essentially to gain as much weight as possible as fast as possible. This theory works really well if you have a short off season because it wouldn't make sense to use someone like Andrew Vu's method of slowly rebounding out of the show and keeping lean gains if time if of the essence. The problem with the first method is that it will really mess your blood pressure up, in my case even with fasted cardio in the mix.
One time I took a trip to Mexico for a week right after a show. Although I wasn't very happy with how my physique looked when I got back, the rest really helped my body and I hit PR's when I got back easier than I typically would and my physique did come back fairly quickly. Looking back at it, this may have been the best "rebound" sort of situation I had.
I don't think theres any right or wrong way of doing this as we all have different goals and not to mention, our bodies are all different but I'm still curious to see what works for you guys and what you liked best.
