Active Recovery Week

[manwitplans]

Yeah, its posted in the wrong forum, but hell, this forum gets way more hits, and therefor I post it here, in hope someone could help me out.

Well i`ve just figured out that withing 4-5 weeks I will get a CNS burnout, and have to take a active recovery week (Training, but cutting back on weights, sets, and so on). - I am clean by the way.

Well I am here to get advise as to something i`m already doing, and I wonder if it seems on point.

Example:

- Monday is Chest, and biceps. I hit 11 sets og chest, and 6 sets on bi ususally.

On the Active recovery week i`ll hit 3-4 sets on chest, and 2 sets on biceps, sounds good?

And I will drop the weight quite a bit to.

Example: I`m doing 5 reps of 220 pounds on the bench, I will hit perhaps 12 reps on 150 pounds, you get the drift..

I prefer doing it this way, to not loose to much strength (I do not like going off for a whole week, seems a bit drastic for me).

Does this seem good, to allow my body to catch up, and ready to hit another intens training cycle?

Have a week of active recovery coming up myself. Been advised my coach 2 do 1 weight session with all major exercises like bench, squat, dead lift, shoulder press and weighted pull ups
At 4reps x 4 sets 3mins rest between sets.
later in the week I will be doing a circuit on machines light weight perfect slow form, picking 3 different machines for 3 different body parts and doing 5 reps on each continus for 3 mins, then 2mins rest before picking another 3 machines repeating this until all body parts have been covered!

Other active recovery will include aquatic games, playing tennis and cycling
