Its definately an individual thing. Its good to see some people can take a week off and come back stronger. I just took over a week off and hope to come back stronger on thursday. The reason for this was the hurricane. Gyms were still closed as of today. Usually when I skip a week of chest I lose strength immediately. We well see what happens on thursday. Maybe the rest will do me some good. Wouldnt have taken it otherwise. Sometimes Ill take 4 days off, when Im at my peak. Never a week if I can help it.
