I'm starting a high intensity training / heavy duty (Mike Mentzer) type training program.
Mike Suggests that you rest until you feel 100% - this can be anywhere around 6-8 days off.
What's the best things to do on these rest days? Surely just sitting on my ass and eating is too easy? (Though chicken and broccoli is starting to drive me crazy!)
But then again the whole idea of resting for 6 days is still thought to be crazy...
Anyway, I was thinking about some cardio but surely that's eating into recovery, anyone have any sources to help me out?
