Christian Thibaudeau | Improvement In The Gym Takes...

Just as I'm starting to feel my lower back getting troublesome after deadlifts. I guess that's my cue. Thanks for the reminder.

Two of the best and most trusted voices

this kind of wisdom usually only comes from guys with years of training behind them - young guys will hear this and yet keep grinding for fear of losing gains and their bodies can usually handle the abuse...until it doesn't - it's been great to watch Dave and Christian become well-seasoned as they age and continue to speak to people at every level of the training spectrum...

Training is like driving a car u have different speed limits u dont drive free way speed all the time, when u come off the speed way u have varied speed limits which would represent the level of intensities

I believe most serious lifter would benefit from a prolonged “vacation” away from the gym, especially if they’ve been consistent for a good amount of years rarely missing any training days. I think many are overtrained beyond what their bodies are capable of fully recovering & adapting too. I’m currently on one such vacation, due to some nagging pains. Been away for at least a month for the entire body and I actually seem to have gained muscle. I definitely was overtrained.

Hardest lesson to learn is to stay out of the gym. 65 and trying to lose a lifetime of bad habits. Find the sweet spot for strength/growth.

I've had enough of those forced lay-offs from training. Thanks for the reassurance.

Would this work in a segmented way? Like you take 4 weeks off from training legs, but still do upper body. And then take 4 weeks off training back, but do pushing, and legs?

I've done a kind of deload for chest, my bench press was stock and I was dropping about 5 lbs from the bar each session. Then for 2 weeks I programmed like a bro split just for chest, hitting chest just 1 day a Week for no more than 6 sets. That just worked awesome, then I got back to upper lower hitting PRs for my bench again.
