Okay question for everyone

***Sicilian30*** · 03-12-2002, 07:52 PM

Okay guys, my question here is how often a year do you train? Is it 6 months out of the year, all year long or just during the summer.

**mishon1** · 03-12-2002, 08:14 PM

have to all year to stay on top of things and not fall behind the friends. plus there is nothing more important.

**DevilsDeity** · 03-12-2002, 08:14 PM

I first started lifting back in 1979 and it was mostly hit and miss. I'd lift for a few months then I'd miss for a few months. But I have'nt missed a full week since 1982. We even find a gym when we go on vacation every year. So I lift year around every year.

**Canes4Ever** · 03-13-2002, 04:50 AM

All year, with a week off every 8-10 weeks just to give the body a rest.

**jon** · 03-13-2002, 05:40 AM

all year with one week rest every 3 months

**Core** · 03-13-2002, 07:50 AM

All year, I only take off if I go on a vacation.

wow can't believe most of you guys train all year. Wow. amazing. Keep coming. I myself train about 8 months out of the year, the remainder I rest, kinda just pig out.. Give my body at least a months rest. Keep em coming ya'll.

**Babyweight** · 03-13-2002, 09:38 AM

All year long except when going on vacation. Need a little break inbetween..

**Darkknight442** · 03-13-2002, 10:42 AM

All year.. Well i try to but you know how some stupid stuff comes up sometimes... like hurting yourself or vacations and stuff...Plus as mishon said what else is more important?? Besides sex of course

**Terinox** · 03-14-2002, 12:12 AM

NEVER STOP WORKING OUT, NEVER SURRENDER, NEVER SURRENDER!!!

Well, it's good to take short breaks every now and then. After you workout for like 3 months straight (3-4 times a week) then try and take a full week off, and let your body relax

Never actually done this myself, but will soon.

Same here-longest I've taken off in seven and a half years is one month when I had shoulder surgery-I was in the gym the day after I got the sling off.

**Commander_Bash** · 04-29-2002, 08:34 PM

started about 3 years ago when i was 17 and never stopped the longest i been out is like 4 days and it was from a cold i go crazy if i don't hit the weights

**Vegas Kid** · 04-29-2002, 08:36 PM

I just started a couple of months ago and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon!

I am a fucking machine!!!!

**NASH** · 04-29-2002, 08:38 PM

I change my workout every six weeks, a way to shock my body and stop it from adapting. At the end of the six weeks I skip one workout of every body part. I find it helps my joints , or any nagging injury I may have. I noticed my lifts also increase in weights after each break.

**RON** · 04-29-2002, 08:46 PM

I am a fat ass if I quit even for a short time.

**BigMike J** · 04-29-2002, 08:55 PM

All year man, i stopped for a while when i was in junior high and it took me almost 5 years to hit it again, i can not afford to make that mistake again. Plus i feel like a pussy if i don't lift, so i guess you could also call me a ego lifter, either way i love it.

**Scorpion** · 04-30-2002, 12:22 AM

I think it's safe to say that almost everyone here that spends time on a bodybuilding forum works out all year round.

***Pheedno*** · 04-30-2002, 06:52 AM

More than a day off makes me feel like I'm not accomplishing anything. It's like I'm not myself, so I don't think I'll stop until I keel over

**bex** · 04-30-2002, 03:18 PM

All year long...I dont want the little people to get bigger than me....

**A_Nice** · 04-30-2002, 04:57 PM

heh.. I hope to train all year.. I just keep thinking of how f---ing sore I was every day when I started up.. I couldnt move!

**Uconish** · 04-30-2002, 04:58 PM

I work out all year round But if i feel like i need to take a day off i do Otherwise im at the gym

**Drakko** · 04-30-2002, 05:51 PM

I try to work out all year round, but things happen (vacations, flu, loosing your lazy ass training partner, OT @ work, etc) and I end up missing a week or 2, every 4 months or so. The funny part is that my body seems to like the rest in between, because I come back stronger and more motivated each time. To be honest, I feel like crap if I take a break for more than 2 weeks (and it hurts like hell when I start lifting again).
just my 2 cents
