With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

Fell off my diet and work out routine. It has been about 5 days since I went to the gym. I went today and WOW I had a great work out. Lifted more and was able to do more reps. Can you body get burnt out when lifting weights? I go 4-5 days a week and follow the mass building program.

This is a healthy thing to do periodically. The renewed mental attitude/focus alone can do wonders. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....

	2005/12/30, 04:00 AM yea...generally a week off is something you would do after intense consistant training for at least 6-8 weeks....and probably more like 8-12 weeks....after 3 weeks it's too early...look at the reasons of why you don't have the 'spirit' or energy....poor sleeping habits? poor nutrition? poor lifestyle choices?

	2005/12/31, 08:09 AM probably? i think it's not probably but something more definitive....so if that's the case then change those things.....
