Rest week before STS

[fitnessluvr]

So I ordered STS (thank you uncle sam for the hefty tax return) but I am going on vacation this next week. Would you do a rest week for weights and then start STS or would you do lighter workouts (Squeeze Stronger....) and at least do that? I would love to know your thoughts......

I would not have a rest week before Meso 1 unless you were doing some serious weight training before and needed a break. Before I started Meso 1, I was following Cathe's January rotation which used Gym Styles and the Pyramid weight work, followed by the 1RM tests which were pretty difficult in themselves.

I see no reason not to have a rest week before STS. You won't lose muscle in a week, so enjoy your rest week, then jump on board well rested and ready to go for week 1 of STS.
