Active Recovery Week

[manwitplans]

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?

What I find works really well for me..... I train in the 6-8 rep range 2 weeks out of the month usually more around 6 reps, 1 week a month I max out or do like 3x3's and 1 week out of the month I do more like 8-10 lighter not all the way to failure kind of thing.... also I'll take a week off if I feel burnt...

I do something very similar, but ive notice i can push it till 6 weeks untill im totaly fryed(CNS wise) then i take two weeks of training 3x per week, and just get a pump more then anything, nothing even close to failure or the heavy weights i use during the 6 weeks, just make sure you keep an eye on your protein, as its cruital IMO to make sure you lose no muscle during this time frame, just maintain
