Anyone ever take a week off lifting mid-cycle?

No it won't hurt you..I took last weeek off becasue I got strep throat and I am in the middle of my never ending cycle, and I came back this past monday and lost no strength and no weight..so I think you will be fine..B

Actually

for me personally I was going to the gym 5 days a week then had a bad injection, swelling anti biotics etc... only went 3 times that week that following week my bench jumped up 50 more pounds, so I go 5 days 1 week then 3 days the next week etc..I know this probably goes against conventional wisdom but it is working for me. Rest and diet are key, heck if it is like my deer hunting trips your'e going to be walking 4 or 6 miles a day for a week, great exercise! go high protien low carb and call it a cutting week. Good luck on your hunt.

If you do start up the cycle make sure that the week before you do an awesome work out so you can justify the rest on your week off....
