recovery week question

[kariev]

during a 3 1/2 month rotation, do you take a week off between each meso cycle or at the very end of all 3 meso cycles? Just seems like it would be a lot of weeks off if it were one per meso cycle/4 weeks.

I completed the 3.5 month rotation 3 weeks ago. I took a recovery week after each cycle-I did cardio and some body weight stuff-pulls ups, chin ups, push ups, dips and abs. I trusted Cathe when she said we'd need a break-plus it helped with the boredom factor of a long rotation.

I too took a rest at the end of each meso cycle as prescribed. My body was ready for it and felt great starting into the next cycle.

It really doesn't have to be complete rest. You can do cardio, yoga, stretching. Your body will thank you. If you don't want to take the whole week then shorten it by a few days.

Thanks for the advice, Catherine!
