training

[slappy]

When not preparing for a fight, anyone have any thoughts on workout to rest ratio during the week. I seem to take a week off of the gym every three or four week. It doesn't even seem intentional, just ends up that way.

I've always liked training 5 days (Mon-Fri) and having the weekends off. I pretty much stick to that. Rather than actually having full weeks off I cycle my training as follows.

Level 1 = Very Low intensity
Level 5 = Very High intensity

Week 1 = Level 1
Week 2 = Level 2
Week 3 = Level 3
Week 4 = Level 4
Week 5 = Level 5
Week 6 = Level 5
Week 7 = Level 3
Week 8 = Level 1
Week 9 = Level 2
Week 10 = Level 3
Week 11 = Level 4

ad infinitum
