You may come back stronger. Especially if it’s your first break in a long time. This is often the case for people who never take time off and are then forced to for a couple of weeks. They are so overtrained that when they allow full systemic recovery, they actually come back stronger.
However, if you do regularly take breaks, just perform some bodyweight exercises quite slowly and until failure on the last week of your holiday.

Great exercise. Any time you are doing cable rows or bent over barbell rows, you can substitute pull-ups in a successive cycle. In 2.0 I recommend 3 sets of barbell rows in addition to deadlifts. However, next time round you can do pull-ups. I’ll be publishing an ‘exercise bank’ with lists of substitute exercises on this site very soon.
@floaterball. Thanks. Glad THT 2.0 delivered for you!

I’ve followed 2.0, and with excellent results. Strength has definitely increased, which is most important for me as a paramedic. Mark – I posted on an earlier article, which spoke about the need for enough water intake. I commented that the colour of your urine is a loose indicator. Someone else posted that this isn’t totally accurate. Well, time to eat crow … as they were right ! I recently had some bloodwork done, and found my creatinine to be high – something which points to dehydration. I used to think 5-8 glasses of fluid was enough. I was wrong … if you’re pushing the body, increasing protein consumption, you need more fluid ! But here’s a question for you … results also showed that my cholesterol to be dangerously high. Does eating your low carb diet affect this ? It’s good to look nice on the outside, but at this point I’m a little concerned about the inside of this body !

I have both on my PC, and I have this impression.

Thanks in advance.

Just started on the programme and enjoying it. A week into the programme and it is definately better than the previous training schedules I was given. What makes it even greater is that all this knowledge is given for free… thank you. This is really awesome stuff and its definately appreciated.

Ps how do I get access to THT 2.0
