yes, go down to 3 and then do 3 days of cadio, and sunday rest. but dont over kill on cardio, just 25 min jogging then like a sprinting routine.

I was planning on having a 4 week bulking stage (seems as its my 1st time) and then mayb 1-2 weeks off (still doing the weights) but just not bulking.

In this period i was thinking of maybe only doing 3 sessions a week (instead of 5) and do some cardio. for weight control!

wat u think?

Set up a good 5 day routine then rest on the weekends, you should only have about 4-5 days of rest between a workout. And you should be bulking for at least 4-5 months, then you cut. ANd by bulk i mean eat alot of protein at least 1.0-1.5 grams per every lb that you weigh every day. weight * 1.0 - 1.5 . And when you bulk you also need carbs, but dont go pig out, i mean have bread with that chicken and tuna. My only rest day is Sunday. Also try and limit the amount of cardio you do when you bulk, and i have heard that you shouldnt be doing cardio within 8 hours of a workout. But when cutting comes around cut the carbs, and shorten your routine so you can have at least 2-3 days for cardio.

I was just wondering wether it is worth carrying on lifting and bulking at weekends, or wether it is better to stop and rest?

Is there any disavantages to resting?
