I just think staying on year round is not only stupid but a waste of money. Look at flex wheeler when he got in that car accident....people stopped calling him flex cause they didn't feel it was appropriate anymore. Few months later boom better than ever.
Yes I do fuck around and train in jeans and on machines but When Im in the gym it's business. The muscle has to be stimulated.but here are some reasons why I come off 3 or four times per year ....
1. this is about fun. your not a pro bodybuilder and nobody is paying you to be one, if your not having fun in the gym your wasting your time.
2. fun comes from results. Id rather come off, and go from 200 and soft to 230 and hard in 4 months, and see changes day to day...then be 230 hard 365 days a year and just get depressed.....abusing myself just to maintain. been there done that and it's stupid...
this is just my opinion but I think if the vast majority of the die hard guys on this board took the autumn off, a year from now....as good as they look they very well might have a better chance of surpassing their current physique a year from now. it has nothing to do with being lazy it's called being smart.
