I've been religiously training and going to the gym for almost 2 years now; literally never missed a week just because I didn't feel like going. Come September, 2013 and I find myself swamped with schoolwork, job applications and interviews. Long story short, I missed my first month of training for the first time in the past couple years. And let me tell you, I feel like crap now (physically). However I have to admit, when it comes to choosing between your future (especially at this early stage in life) and having a 6-pack abs, I will always choose the former. And I did.
The first couple weeks the lack of training didn't affect me much. Only about a month after not training one of my good friends jokingly noted that I "look smaller". Indeed, I started seeing the results in the mirror... that creatine though ;) Also, I noticed a huge drop in athletic performance. My feet got much slower during soccer pick up games, MMA training warm up routines made me sweat, which never happened before.
My goal for the next month or so is to get back in the gym. I'm going to start slowly, reduce my intensity and structure my training regimen around athletic performance first rather than just bodybuilding.
Stay fit, everyone!
