Taking this week off to let my body heal

[nuknuk]

I still have some strains in my forearms and my pec is still not 100% so Im going to take off from the gym the rest of this week and maybe some of next aswell.

A week's rest will surely help. You're smart to listen to your body. The last thing you want to do is aggravate an injury by pushing it too fast.

You're smart, I wish I could've done the same, I may have saved my arm. What I thought was simply biceps tendonitis turned out to be a stress fracture that turned into a pretty severe fracture in my humerus and I really wish as soon as I started to feel the pain I would've rested and allowed my body to repair

Smart move. Its easier to say "I should've" than to take the break you know you need.

I give ya til the first of the Month and you'll be itching to get back in, so my wager is on u not lasting a full week out of gym lol

I usually use a vacation or something like that for a longer "break" but every 4th week I do a deload week and just do lifts with 50-60% of my 1RM. It has really helped me.

I can't do that. The only way for me to take a break is to go out of town....

Its good to take time off to heal. Franco use to take a week off every 3 months. It make sense.
