Re: have a weeks rest

Good post -

Its the case that a week to ten days complete layoff is usual before a powerlifting comp. The hardest thing for a beginner to learn is that you do not get stronger in the gym, but only when you are resting out of the place.

Despite this we still see lads on here and others who insist on the "more is better" training philosophy and fail to make the gains they otherwise could.
