[QUOTE="FreeRangeYeti, post: 60079, member: 14864"] For years I never took any real time off. About 10 years ago, I started programming deloads into the workouts to help me heal. That and the low load / high volume pump workouts where I never loaded up the muscles, but did enough to stretch and pump blood into the tissues combined with cardio and stretching, and I was good. Lately, I have started to take more time off. Down from 6-7 days to 4, and 2 of the 4 days programmed with higher intensity and the other 2 for recovery. I have also had more injuries in the past two years than in the previous 25. I had a quervain's sprain in my left wrist, a pulled left groin, and a torn left rotator cuff. I've rehabbed all of them, and I'm lifting much lighter than I have in the past and still not recovering. I feel like more time off will only cause more atrophy. In fact, after each week I have taken off, even with yoga and calisthenics, my joints ache. As long as I keep lifting, I feel pretty good, just struggle with the issues above. [/QUOTE]
