Recovery

[wildman1717]

How many of you guys take a week off from training throughout the year? I'm finishing up a routine and need to take a week off from training. I feel a week off from training every two or three months is good for recovery and healing of the body of any potential injuries.

I take 2 weeks off every 9 months

if you feel you've been legitimatly hitting it hard for a long time and you just feel kinda beat and worn down, then sure, take a week off. its good for you. just make sure its some all out binge dieting, excessive partying break. take a break from STRICTLY training, NOT diet and overall lifestyle.

I take 2 weeks of every 6 months or as needed.

I take one week off every 12 wks. It gives my joints a nice rest. It is great for my body, but i get very irritable/cranky without working out. I can't wait to get back into the gym after a week off.......for psychological reasons

I feel bad too when I miss working out. I haven't took a week off in nine months so I needed a well deserved rest. I start back Monday and I'm looking forward to it.
