Very interesting that most people commenting have either had gains or limited loss due to time off. That's amazing. Guess it kinda validates how refreshed I feel after taking a week off to rest every so often.
Definitely not taking months off though. I'd lose my mind lol
I've had a few surgeries over the years that required several months away from training. I always find that initially my timing is messed up and my cardio sucks. But after 2 or 3 weeks, I find I'm doing creative things and really growing.
Just got over bronchitis and my first roll back I got my ass completely kicked all class, super off. The next class I had some of the most technically solid rolls I have ever had. Everything worked better and I felt I had more cardio than ever despite having a respiratory infection. I stretched and watched videos and read the whole time I was sick. Keeping engaged it activities I knew would compliment my jiu jitsu definitely helped :).Quote:
