losing strength?

i stoped lifting for like about a week and i lifted yesterday and found out that i wasnt able to lift my maximum. and the weight that i did lift i got tired easy. does any one know why, it isnt because im loosing muscle is it?

You don't lose muscle in a week unless it's surgically removed. If you're talking about a serious difference in muscular ability (like you could bench press 300 and now you can only do 200) then you should see a doctor. But I suspect the difference probably isn't that great and in that case, it could be any number of things. What was your diet like that day? Did you do anything else earlier that might have stressed the muscles in question? Are you coming down with a cold? The flu?

Seriously, if it was a small step backward, it's probably nothing to worry about.

it's called being human.

we get tired, fatigued etc

it won't be lost muscle or strength, when your out for a week your body relaxes then goes to sleep. How do you feel first thing the morning? :d give your self a few session to wake back up :)

Every once in a while it's good to take about a week off provided you've been working out a long time.

Your muscles probably got a little stiff, or perhaps you did something that day that could have tired them out easy. :)

You can loose a lot of muscle in a week, bad diet being one of the causes.

I heard its about 3 months after stopping lifting before you start to considerably shed muscle ???

Normally when I'm weight training for a few months and I stop for a week or two I find I can lift more having rested

i never keep myself to a certain diet, but only this 1 week every 6/7moths i watch my food.

Provided that you still stay active (walking around and such) and are not being a couch potatoe, it really doesn't matter what you eat. I try to eat as much as I can to gain weight, but I don't care what I eat. I don't worry about dieting. 8)

Ok

Please dont say provided you walk around and such it doesnt matter what you eat. People will get the wrong ideas. Theres things called metabolism, calories, complex carbs etc

Keep on not caring about what you eat if that works for you. If you want maxmimum gain then you do your research and find out what is best for you. Its hard work.
