Hurts so good

Let's face it, from time to time we all need to take a break from training. Whether it's a family vacation, a business trip, or just to heal, infrequent breaks throughout a training year does not hurt and may help your progress in the gym. Note: I say infrequent, those breaks are earned through hard work at Garage Gym they shouldn't be used as an excuse to slack off and yes I'm talking to you. Anyway, after the break whether it's only a few days or a few weeks something happens to everyone including myself, no one is immune.

This common occurrence is what I like to call getting your butt handed to you on a silver platter. No matter how long you have been training at Garage Gym the first few days back from vacation are brutal, it's almost as bad as your first day! I often hear my clients moaning "Oh my god this sh*it is kicking my ass why did I take time off!" The answer to this question is very simple the Garage Gym method of training lacks routine. Although you may repeat a particular exercise you rarely repeat a particular combination of exercises. In other words, you never get use to the workouts!

When you attend a "regular" gym most people create a routine. Monday is chest day, Tuesday is back day, Wednesday is a rest day, Thursday is leg day, and of course Friday is arms day! Got to be pumped up for the club scene. Since you follow a routine even if you miss a few days from the gym, when you come back you go right to your routine which your body is use to and you continue no harm no foul. Unfortunantly, it doesn't work this way at Garage Gym everyday you come to the gym you work hard there is no way around it.

Garage Gym members learn to embrace pain, sweat, sorness, and the wonderful results they deliver.
