    What would u reccomend for a diet, during the 1 week off?

    I know you know a lot about the whole prepping for a cycle diets and everything else..

    I'm assuming the poster is in the middle of a cycle now.. taking a week off, which means lots of recovery time for the muscles..

    keep the diet the same? Carb up? carb down? any thoughts...

    I always design taking a week off during a intense training programme, example i can only stand doing around 8 weeks of heavy dropsets to failure, i usually go straight into another style while i recover myself but when i am ready for a week off i will design the heavy dropset phase just before the wk off, then i recover while during this week and i acturally gain size with all the recovery and full recovery of the CNS which is vital for muscle tissue building.

    I would carb cycling during this phase and adjust daily to how i feel and need recovering, when i go back in the gym i am thick,veiny and bursting full of energy and full recovery of injuries have been completed
