    How often do u take off

    just curious guys how often do you take like a week off from working out, or just have a week where you work out twice or so? Is this good? I know it gives your body a rest but just looking for some more opinions

    I just took a weeks vacation. I usually workout Mon-Sat. I only lifted the first 3 days of vacation, then took 4 days and this weekend off. I'll let you know if the rest helped.

    Time off is good. Muscles grow when not in use.

    I like to take one full week off the weights when I lift year round usually about every three months then I come back and change up my whole workouts to keep the muscles guessing. It also try to time it so it is during vacation time so I don't have to feel guilty!!

    I train M W F and take the rest off and add a little cardio in there while "on". I find for me, that I have fantastic results with this. I train for about 45 minutes or an hour each session. I have managed to put on fantastic solid quality muscle this way.
