Is it true you should take off 1 week every 5 to 6 weeks? Not completely off but light weight for 1 week. Then go back to normal?

I do it but it doesn't sound like a bad idea. Taking something like a weekend completely off every 6 wks wouldnt be a bad idea.

Also no weekends?
Take one full week off, no gym, every 8 week. You gotta keep eating the same way tho.
Don't worry about loosing muscle, your protein shakes usually have the necessary BCAA's to maintain your muscles.
That's how I always did it and I still gotta hit a plateau.
Correct, if you are going to take time OFF, take it OFF.
No light crap, just totally off.
~SC~
Thanks for everyone's input.........I've been draggin hard this week and it just started, I knew I was suppose to take time off but I had started my cycle and was almost done with it so I though it wouldn't hurt...Thanks again
Totally off! lets your joints rest, shocks your muscles!
