I have written about rest before but for us ectomorphs it is extremely important. Yesterday I did not have the intensity in a workout that should have been there because of it. Even though my body was telling me to stop I went to the gym anyway. How many have done that before? It was the 3rd day in a row and it is during my Tabata cycle so that in itself tasks the body to it's fullest. I make mistakes like all others but I need to get back on track and put more space between workouts. The best for me is to workout every other day and maybe take 2 days in a row off because of the weekend schedule. I may at times workout 2 days in a row but that will be a pairing of legs with another upper body part for those 2 days. This means at times you may only do a body part every 9-11 days which seems like a a lot of time to not work a body part but my experience has shown that I do not lose the muscle and strength in that period. Rest is always a hard sell for us fitness enthusiasts. We are driven to continually workout no matter what.
Have a great weekend.
