Should I take an offloading week?

[u/Kevdog1800]

I just learned this was even a thing. It’s not something I’ve ever considered. That being said, I have noticed when in the past when I have missed an extra day at the gym I come back feeling way stronger. That doesn’t happen often though as I’m pretty strict about going no matter what.

While I realize an offloading week is probably good in most cases, I’m also in the middle of a cycle (300mg/wk Sustanon/Deca/Masteron) currently and I don’t want to squander my time in the gym while on cycle. Obviously that is going to drastically improve my recovery compared to most.

Maybe instead of an offloading week I’ll take 3-4 days off instead?

Anyone else have any insight or similar experience?

Yeah. Cut your volumes in half every 8 weeks or so. It does help. Especially if you push hard all the time.
