Time off question…
Just took an 11 day break, longest break I've had in 9 months. Previously only took 2-3 day breaks.
Came back after those 11 days off and…ooph. I felt awful. Slow, low energy, numbers were down. Bar just felt heavy. I don't think I'll take that length of time off again.
Any rhyme or reason why my body responded that way? I tend to be quick to recover. Enjoy and capable of 4-5 weight workouts a week, mixing in yoga, running, sports on same days.
Wondering if anyone else has experimented with time off and has dialed in what works for them.
