how bad is it to put lifting on hold for 1.5 weeks during uni exams?the problem is i already took a break during christmas so ive only been lifting for about 3 weeks and the work is just too much and ive neglected the gym this week so farwill i start to regress?
>>75726708it's fine, nothing will happen insofar as you keep eating well.Focus on your studies, so you don't have to become a meathead gymrat retard without an education and no future prospects
>>75726708why would you stop lifting during exams your brain be workin better n shitunles u a punk bitch that does meme "lifting"
>>75726752after im done lifting i get extremely tired , it drains me ngl
>>75726752>>75726758also its just added stress on my system when i already struggle with a lot of stress around exams
>>75726708A rest week is fine and nearly ensures you don’t overtrainGanbatte and good luck come exam timet. paused lifting when the finals and essays came due
>>75726765That means you're not doing it rightMe? I go to the gym every day. 1 lift a day. 15 minutes max. 5 days a week.Never had better results, just the right amount of stress, the good stress , always feel great after
you won't lose jackshit in 2 weeks of breaks if you've been consistent for months beforeeven if you somehow do, you'll regain it immediately (literal muscle memory magic, like your body knows it's peak and goes "ok time to inflate again")

>>75726708takes like 30 minutes to get a killer workout and feel like a boss, instead you made some shit post and monitored it for (((you's)))you are a woman.
Prioritize your education, it's way more important
>>75726708Its perfectly fine. No regression or so little it dont matter.
>>75726708Why would you pit it on hold? Exercise improves mental performance
I don't see why you wouldn't keep lifting during exams just for the stress release. Letting your brain rest is key to peak intellectual performance
>>75727830>>75727951It's possible that OP's approach to training is what causes him to be stressed out over it. He might feel the need to do a certain amount of work, spend a certain amount of time in the gym, or a million other things. So I think his approach to training is wrong, and it's possible he's not doing effective lifts too, for him the gym is not fun but it doesn't have to be that way. That's why the gym never stresses me out, I have it down to where it only benefits me I feel no stress or worry about my sessions, I do my best on that day and always feel great.
>>75726708>how bad is it to put lifting on hold for 1.5 weeks during uni exams?Not bad at all.>the problem is i already took a break during christmas so ive only been lifting for about 3 weeks and the work is just too much and ive neglected the gym this week so far will i start to regress?Holy shit, with these kind of questions presented in this manner, on /fit/ no less, I don't have high hopes for your success at "uni" and neither should you. If it worries you that much you should just quit your university so you have more time to lift, if this is the level of intelligence you have to work with. You're probably wasting your time there anyway. You can't teach a one-legged man to win a marathon.But to answer your actual question, think of bodybuilding as one of those charts that tracks trends on the stock market. You're rarely ever going to see a straight line going up or down for any length of time. What you want to look for is if that line of progress is trending upward or downward overall, over a longer span of time. Some days you will lift less than the day before, but that's okay as long as your lifts generally go up over the course of a YEAR. The important bit of knowledge to have is this: Even if you lose a little strength for whatever reason, regaining it will be much faster than it took to gain it in the first place. So really the important measure of progress for building strength is how much you've improved over the course of a YEAR. The day-to-day comparisons are almost meaningless and, in your case, sometimes even demoralizing. How you couldn't intuitively figure this out on your own doesn't give me high hopes that you'll ever improve on anything - good luck at "uni."
>>75727963I'm like OP too, it feels like an additional taskany ideas to make it less like that?
