I did the unthinkable... took a vacation day on Friday which rolled into the stellar weekend here in So-Cal... and I went 3 days without working out.
I look forward to hitting the gym with a vengeance tomorrow .. I feel refreshed but 3 days off is a lot of time away from the gym for a beginner animal like myself.

3 days might seem like a lot of time off, and it does to most of us, but really it's a great way to recoup and come back fresh like you said.

Time to hit it hard tomorrow brother.

Use whatever day off you have to eat, rest, and recuporate. You need rest days to recover and to grow. Think of those days as to grow. You'll be fine. 3 days won't kill your gains... as long you're eating clean and getting ample rest.

Three days and you created a thread about it? Come on man, lighten up a bit. If you're freaked after not going for three days chances are you are not going to last too long in this game.
