>sicksomeone cope me into why being a week off lifting is actually a good thing
>>76928160Rest and recovery is important.
>>76928160It's important to take a skibidi dob week off so you can frfr rizz some gyatt's bruh, I ain't even cappin' cuh.
>>76928160You dont need to train.
>>76928160look at what happen to the bodies of men who do intensive labors without ever being allowed to rest.
>>76928160It's not because consistency is key. You'll just have to suck it up and stop being gay.
>>76928160When I was in the Marines one time we got sent to Fort Pickett for the better part of a month and while we were doing infantry shit, we didn't have access to a gym. One of my friends lifts went up after we got back. Sometimes you just need to rest. You are human after all.
>>76928160A week without lifting wont discombobulate your body, retard. I made 3-4 month pauses and it barely affected my lifts
>>76928160At least to burpees to maintain the routine, that's what actually is making you anxious, everyone is autistic about habits to a degree and will start reeeeing if something changes, good or bad.
>>76928160You'll likely have subpar sessions lifting while sick.You'll likely have shitty recovery.You'll likely make other people sick (don't be an asshole).Just take a week off, you aren't going to lose all your muscle. If you just have to do something and you aren't deathly ill, do some light activity at home (go for a walk, body weight exercises, etc).
just had a week break due to sickness and I lose something around 1 rep on each lift, mentzer proven wrong
>>76928160A week off with the flu made me stronger. Just make sure to eat and soak up as much sleep as possible
If you were training, really training, you’d usually have a rest week built in anyway. If you are literally never having a week off then you aren’t working hard enough. All that aside, you aren’t going to train effectively when you are ill. The best thing to do is to eat as much and drink as much water as possible and get incredibly long sleepsI have a rest week every eight weeks. Not a “light” week, just a week of no weights at all whatsoever
>>76928160How sick is too sick? I swear I'm getting a sinus infection at least once a month, if not twice. I used to stop working out because of it, but I'm not making progress taking a week off every other week at this point.
>>76928160my connective tissue was always my weak link because my muscles can recover and get stronger much faster than my connective tissue
>>76929969very weak and tired, my tonsils have been swollen like golf balls making it painful to swallow but its getting better now at least, i just have to actively force myself to drink a lot because i simply avoid it if i dont
thats a built in deload buddy

>enduring sickness for a whole week>not just fasting for 1 (one) day
>>76928160A deload week is a deload weekI got free deload weeks for finals week in collegeYou probably won’t lose anything and worst case your progress will be merely paused
