A few days off...

I am in the midst of taking 6 days off from training. I hope to resume training again on Saturday. As Mark Rippetoe once said - "You don't get big and strong from lifting weights – you get big and strong by recovering from lifting weights".

"If you're going to grow, you have to train hard and recover from that training. You have to understand why growing is important, why recovery is important, and how to do it correctly. You have to understand that it may even be the most difficult part of the program for you, perhaps physically, or perhaps even psychologically – maybe harder than the training itself".
