when i'm pushing it i'll still take off 1 in 7 days for the cns
Yeah, rest days are critical even when on cycle.
I'll still only go 5 of 7 days while on, maybe 6 days if I'm feeling it. You need rest.
How old are you? What's your training like? If your maxing out every week you need to give your body rest. I used to be like you, especially on cycle, but I would feel like complete dog shit when I got off. I'm 28 and a powerlifter, with that said, my body get so beat up throughout the week that I need as much rest as I can get.
My training split is as follows:
Monday: Deadlift
Tues: Bench
Wed: Off
Thurs: Squats
Friday: Off
Sat: Strict OHP + assesory work
This split has work amazing for me. I'm still beat at the end of the week, but our training waves really help give our CNS time to recover.
I can't even imagine working out 7 days a week. But you guys are much younger.

I'm 28 and hit every muscle group throughout the week. I also run and do sprints.
I'm going to take tomorrow off and see if I feel any better on Monday.
I'm a firm believer in down time, even while ON. muscles are recovering like crazy, but connective tissue takes a beating...getting a tendonitis flair up while ON SUCKS!
I really like this split. Made some slight modifications but still similar foundation.Quote:
