This gives me 3-4 days recovery instead of 1-2. I like the way it's working pretty well, but I'm troubled by the voice in my head telling me I "SHOULD" be getting to the gym more often. Seems to me the only real downside to this plan is not making progress as fast as possible, but that's not that important to me. Pretty sure I don't have to worry about detraining after four days off. So whaddya all think of this and also, any suggestions for moderate activity on recovery days, that won't interfere with recovery? Thanks in advance for your astute insights! GEEZERS RULE!
