Take a long walk on a short bridge.
Collect post holes for a future fence.
Start a Macaroni farm. (They can be noisy in the wind)
Bungy jump w/o a bungy.
Hit yourself in the head w/ a Ball peen hammer. This one smarts a bit


Dude just eat, rest, and dream of the next 6 months of training and what you want to acheive.

Lol Gaz has the right idea.

In all seriousness though, I've heard that it is good to do some very low volume very light work. It keeps the muscles ready for when you return. Think of it like this... it's easier to slow down and go again than to completely stop and go again.

I'm with BG, eat and rest. I'm on my third week back from my rest week and I didn't do a thing while I was off but eat, sleep, work and get some rest.

I suppose completely taking off couldn't hurt either. Personally, I can't stand not doing anything at all so I like doing light stuff on rest weeks. To each his own I guess

Thanks for all the help guys.

Seriously though, just take it easy. I always see the best gains in strength after a short and complete layoff. On any sort of training program you build up a sort of "debt" of gains because your body cant totally repair itself when youre training 3x a week.

Though you DO make gains actually on a program, you also know that you grow when your resting not when youre lifting - a week's R+R will get you back to the top of your game and beyond.

Take the time out to practice one of your other hobbies - gaming, music, reading. Anything.
