Off Season..
It’s been a strange off-season so far. Made some size progress with a calculated bulk; got up to 207 for a minute, currently @ 198, fairly lean, but for the last few weeks strength has been in the tank, and couple of nagging aches & pains have beaten me down..
I feel this to be a CNS issue, as I have some other indicators: no motivation during training, everything is a struggle. I’m not looking forward to the weight room as I used to, it’s become a job..
Sooo.. taking a 7-10 day break, which coincides with some travel I have to do anyway. Rest is a good thing. Gonna recharge, come back swinging strong!

Are you taking anything for the pain? I’m having nagging pains also in my attempts at bulking…

No. just using SuperCissusRx (well, I guess that is something for the pain huh, haha). I used some ibuprofen following my calf tear in August, but nothing other than that. My body’s not rebelling from the bulking cycle, it’s just nicked & scraped from a hard 2008 training regime..
