I hate "rest days"

[the trainer]

Even though I need them more than ever. Between the high(er) volume workouts and the various parts breaking down, one rest day for every three of training is a requirement for me.

I know it's a good thing, but I just want to train, train, train. It's an illness.

Maybe I will do some "active recovery" like conditioning stuff! Yeah!

Plenty of things for you to do on rest day, go shopping for new disco thong and purse, buying grapefruit at the supermarket, buying stuffing to put into your thong to appear big, posting craiglist ads for bathroom hook ups, so you should be very busy on rest day.

An off-day "bonus" workout if you just feel like going to the gym when you're not scheduled to :

I'm sorry, what?

The wife and I set up a brutal circuit in our driveway.



I was pretty pumped that I could hang with her. Her conditioning is vastly better than mine.

The driveway slopes down to the street about 250m from the house. You can see a bit of "the meadow" that is my front yard.

You are a cool dude aj. I am man enough to admit that I was wrong about you.

Where you a sheep at the beginning? Probably.

Did you forge your own path? Absolutely.

Can I borrow $20 bucks?

If you hate rest days -don't rest! I and many others work-out everyday! we believe it's a better way to burn bodyfat, we will take it easy 1 or 2 days a week and lift for full body muscle pumps and practice posing. You can work-out 7 days a week with no issues especially since you take a small amount of anabolics(you won't go catabolic) . I can't take a day off myself,I at least have to do a light full body workout and also train stubborn areas and fine tune areas and practice poses. No such thing as over-training when on cycle even if it is a light cycle.

Well I didn't rest, the 40 minutes on that circuit was pure hell.

i used to hate them to bro but when u get my age n the old joints n bones ache alot u appreciate them alot more

[SweetMuscles]

if you don't want or need rest days you ain't training hard enough. end of story.

Forge my own path? I am a bodybuilder on a bodybuilding website. Admittedly, I still suck at it. Hardly avant garde here.

when i was younger id take advantage of my rest days n do what id call active rest,go mountain climbing,ride youe mountain bike thru the hills n hard trails,go hiking ect,u burn fat n alot of times n aint peoples bodies burning out from lifting,its being in the gym everyday day in n day out, believe it or not we all hit a point in our lives where we just get aggitated from never taking days off from gym,mentally u start to feel like a slave to the gym and instead of enjoying going to the gym u hit a point where u feel like its a job n thats when u know u need 1 day off aweek or even 2,i was the same way in my younger days,i felt like i was shrinking on my days off, i felt guilty like i fucked a broad behind my wifes back or something, it got crazy. all im saying is do what makes u happy n if u dont feel mentally or phsically burned out i guess your ok, be careful tho cause if u r looking to make it for the long haul n keep doing these for the next 30yrs or so dont burn yourself out, sometimes to much motivation backfires n is almost as bad as not enough, theres was a point in my life back in the 90,s where i couldnt take a day off n it hurt me bad,mentally n phsically, dont look at a day off as something negative, just remember n remind yourself that nice, new and thick muscle fiber is growing in your body n u r getting stronger by that

Haha! I love the cheating analogy. It's just like that!

I am just not capable of zero movement rest unless I am sick. I really should get my Stumpy out for a spin. I need to tune it and put my knobbies back on.

Colonial style house? You would be living my dream bro.

The rural New England area is still largely intact.

You want to retire in bliss? Retire to New England.
