resting a fortnight not necessary means reduce in strength.
It really depends on how well you manage ur diet while u're resting.

You are not 100% now... maybe only like 70% now.
Resting for 2 weeks (provided u don't do anything strenous) will allow
your muscles to fully recover. You could gain strength.

Just my 2 cents... it really depends on ur diet.

I think we desperately need a chat thread

i realised i dont understnad this post lol

hmm.. cuz last time when i did leg pressies to substitue squat(back pain) i actually felt my hammies worked more then squatting. dont know why until now i still dont really feel my hammies working while squat. only deadlift give the hammies a bomb.

anyway i'm still thinking about this. i dont wana screw my back for no reason. think think think.
