after taking a week off?

Always happens. I take a week off, the first week back is always crap. I struggle with things I should lift easy. I know a lot of guys that feel stronger after taking a week off.
 
I think thats normal... I feel weaker too but the fact remains your body needs to recover now and again. The rest will be doing more good than harm.

But eventually taking some time off will help mentally and physically. Now, if you take a week off and do nothing but drinking and eating crap and playing video games, then that's a different story........lol :D
 
man, I always lose strength after even one week.
everyone I talk to says that, too.
but then u bounce back quickly.

... Most likely, your muscle and cardio system are in flaccid state. Therefore, the ability to push-pull is declined somewhat.

Perhaps train 3 days straight with no break, using weights you can handle and go for more reps/sets to prime the system. You should feel stronger by day 4.
 
Because your CNS is no longer primed.

I refuse to take a week off. Every single time, I tank and it's dumb. Don't see the reason to unless you're on a ton of "stuff", and you are using so much weight that you have to let your joints/tendons/CNS recover.
 
My girlfriend and I took our bikes for a week long ride down the blueridge parkway and hit the gym the night after we got home and both said the same thing. I guess a week is a few days to long for many of us old folks
 
I'm always the same way after taking some time off...

Recently I had to take a VERY long time off which took several
weeks of work'n my way back up. :banghead:
 
What was your diet like on your week off? If you miss meals you will get weaker.
 
Sounds like you may not have needed a whole week off. Try 2 or 3 days next time. Unless your body was so drained depleted and overtrained that you needed a week off it sounds like your genetic capacity to adapt is pretty quick. In your case your body is adapting to being sedentary but I could just be speculating

I agree. The more calories I get down during my off time means the more strength I end up keeping when i get back.
