I take a week off every 5 weeks

[powerhouse972]

I usually take a week off every 5 weeks and notice that the week when i come back i get monster gains. (natural by the way) Is anyone else like this? I wonder if i can take a week off every 3 weeks maybe. Any thoughts?

I saw something that said you should take a week off every 6-12 weeks to give your body a rest. I do the same thing. Just whenever I feel over worked.

too much time off IMO....i take one week off during the summer for vacation and thats it......u can always just lower your intensity and do more active rest, i.e. play golf, volleyball, instead of taking time off all together
