Out for a week
Went on Vacation, to california. I ate pretty good, I know I set myself back a bit, but it was worth it for sure....
Question I'm asking, because I havent worked out for a week, whats the best routine I could set for myself?
Just lookin for some ideas, I usually workout, rest, workout, rest, workout, rest, and so on... thinkin somethin like chest, rest, back/biceps, rest, shoulders/triceps, rest, legs, rest, chest...
What do you guys think?
Any info would be cool, thanks

You should pretty much be able to jump right back to the routine you were doing, maybe at a slightly lower volume and/or intensity.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

I find that when I take a week off that I usually come back stronger.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.
