anything on off days

[mcgaret]

I try to get in 4 lifting days during the week. 2 of the other days I have a
cardio thing going. Leave 's me with one totally OFF day. I try to make that
Friday but switch it if somthing interfears with one of my workout days. If I am on a roll I'll even hit the gym on my off friday just to hit a week part. (if my energy is up) Have learned that if I take timeoff - the longer it is the harder it is to start up again. What is everyone's off schedual like and are
they total off days.

3-4 days per week seems like the perfect number for me too. Rest is as important as actually working out.

Yep, I do what B2S and BS do.

Same for me but I dont take a day off. I train 4 days and cardio the other 3. Works great for me. Best results I have ever had.

I usually take a full day off from cardio and lifting on Sunday. I don't like to stay dormant much more than that.

i dont plan on days off. Cardio for atleast 30 minutes on days i dont lift. But i do allow things to get in the way, like family. So I end up getting a day off anyway.... Im really trying to lean up though. I do feel im over training, but its worth it if i can get these abs to show.

2 on / 1 off / 2 on / 2 off/ my off days are wendsday and weekends when i use this schedule

but now summer is here and as of tomorow im doing split sessions atleast 2-3 days a week

I have a physical job during the week so I love working out on weekends - It is my main outlet for my energy that day. Once my workout is in, the rest of the day is on cruise.

5 days on split with 3-4 cardio sessions for me

this is basically what im gonna start doing. Hitting it hard like friday night sat. sunday and monday then cruising the rest of the week. 3 days off should help. but at the same time im getting alot of work in on the 4 days in a row so hopefully ill net some good gains. Im with you MC manual labor in the 100 degree heat sucks balls.

i too do not have an off day. if there is a day i have NOTHING to do, il simply strech or hit poses for 1/2 hour. helps keep me sharp and the body feeling gooooood

 

[h8tr3d]

try to do 5 days a week, but in the summer im lucky if i get 3, because i have a very physical job too

i used to train 5-6 days a week and made some nice slow steady gains now i cut it back to around 4 and the gains are much better, my body just needs more rest and the improvements i am making are just plain dramatic..
