Hey guys. I'm new here and have a question. I started NROL 3 weeks ago, based on the "Eternal beginner" program. However, instead of doing 2 workouts a week, I went for 3 (well, it only worked out that way last week). Anyway, as of today I've finished 7 out of the 8 rx'd workouts, and will be finishing number 8 Monday next week. So, my question is, do I do a full week next week, take a week off, and then start FLI (which I guess would come the day after the Super Bowl), or do I finish the 8th workout, take the rest of the week off, and then start FLI on the 28th? Some people (at the other forum I frequent) have even suggested skipping the week off, considering I hadn't done any exercises (weights or cardio) for about a month prior to beginning NROL (due to life/stress, not an injury) - would that be okay as well?
You can take a break if you want to, that's up to you. I find that if I break for a solid week I'll be so sore when I start again. I know I'm not going to stop, I'm just going to continue on. I also do three a week and I'm still in Phase I.

Thanks.
Welcome! I was working my way through NROL Eternal Beginner, too. I have since switched to NROL for Women, but I had gotten through Break-in, FLI, and FLII. If I were you, I would do that last workout on Monday and take at least a few days off and then start FLI. It's a tough program, especially Workout B! Have fun!

Those people are not thinking too deep about the problem. That's a typical "bro" response. The week off is more for tendon, cartilage and bone repair and build-up since these connective tissues don't benefit from protein.
Also, if you lifted properly hard enough, you'll want to give the CNS and peripheral nervous system some down time as well.
