Hello everyone, I am wondering what everyone's input is on taking time off from the gym after doing a competition. Do you take one full week off? Do you have a light training week then go back into hitting it hard? Do you take 2 full weeks off? A month off? I want to hear what everyone's input is. In the past taking time off I never come back stronger. I always come back weaker right away but get right back to where I was fairly quickly. I also think that it helps mentally to give yourself a break.
What's everyone's input on time off from the gym after a show or just after training hard for a long time in general?
