Episode Description from the Publisher

There is a decision a lot of gym goers make every summer, and they make it silently, where nobody can talk them out of it. The holiday is booked, the routine is about to fall apart, and a quiet voice says "I will just restart properly in September." This episode is here to talk you out of that voice.Liam tells the story of his two trips to Canada. The first time he went for three weeks, did no training, bulldozed straight back into his old weights, and got injured in the first week. The second time he did a couple of sessions while away, eased back in over a week, and was completely fine. Same holiday, two very different outcomes, and only one thing changed.Along the way he breaks down what actually happens in your body when you take time off (why you feel rusty before you have lost any real muscle, when muscle loss genuinely starts, and why muscle memory means you are never truly back to zero), then gives you the holiday floor: the simple minimum that keeps everything ticking over no matter how mad your summer gets.If your training tends to vanish over summer and reappear, guiltily, in autumn, this one is for you.Come train with us.
