I know, shut up about it right? Well, yet again, rest has proven my mind wrong. I just went through a bout with the flu and had to take a extra couple of days off and guess what? I came back stronger than the last workout of the same exercises. Actually, a lot more. Now, putting rest into practice on a regular basis is still a struggle for me and for most but taking the time off is huge for the muscles and for us ECTOMORPHS. We need it to grow more than the other body types. Especially as your weight and intensity get to levels where you are truly tasking the body and I mean 'tasking the body'! Not some pansy approach to your workouts. The problem I have with a few days of rest in between is the feeling of your muscles being 'flat' because they are not staying stimulated as often but what do you want? Big growth or sub-par growth when it comes right down to it? We should all answer that question the same. When it's spring or summer you want the pump all the time so you can show off your accomplishments often but when it's winter we want growth!
Good luck to all and have a great night.
