So, I’ve decided after the past few weeks of training heavy to throw in a recovery week in there. Starting with the conditioning session I did on Monday, kind of made this an easy decision, as I liked the idea of repping out some bodyweight exercises, and concentrating on lighter basic movements that will allow me to come back bigger and stronger next week.
Sometimes, taking and week to recover is a good thing. Especially when you train pretty intense on a daily basis.
Here was today’s session:
Super Sets:
Barbell Bench Press
(@135, 5 x 12)
Pullups
(@BW, 5 x 8 )
Mixed Pushups
(@BW, 4 x 15)
TRX Rows
(@BW, 4 x 15)
Decline Crunches
(3 x 25)
*****
Simple. Effective. And…will allow me come come back and hit the Iron hard next week.
**One thing to keep in mind during a De-Load week is to pay strict attention to your diet. Because the intensity is generally lower, you usually aren’t using up your stored glycogen as fast as you would during a typical kick-ass training session. Food for thought.
Until Next Time!
