    2 weeks is long but not to long. keep a good diet, and u should be good. if u were training hard it will prob be good to let muscle and tendons recooperate for a lil bit.

    1 week most ever maybe 3-4 days of solid rest would suffice IMO

    Easier said than done. Taking time off maybe a good idea, but I get a guilty feeling when I take a day off.

    I know coaches who insist on two weeks off to bust through plateaus, overcome inertia, etc. but personally I go ape sh!t if I take more than a week off.
