Rest Days: How long is too long?

Jezzz · 04-16-2008, 11:40 PM

So I did a rather large workout on Saturday, and I haven't been since, but I'm going today (today is Thursday).

All in all, I'm wondering, is a four day break too long in general, or can I get away with it without losing much progress?

How long is too long?

Just for reference, the break was entirely not my fault, but just thought I'd check in.

atrophy tends to start after about 4 weeks of a continuous break

just a few days shouldn't hurt you, but don't do it too often
