How many of you take a week off half way through your cycle??

[Testsubject]

While you on cycle I wouldnt take a week off training but if recovering the muscle becomes a problem i would incorporate more rest days. I would take some time off after cycle or just have more rest days inbetween sessions.

Doing a 16 wk cycle doesnt more gains than any other cycle, normally running longer cycles creates more sides.

What my plan was was to train 8 weeks Powerlifting ( german block training) and then take a week off, and then follow the basic bodybuilding pendulum program, the reason I was going to take a week off was just to give my body/joints a little bit of a break from all the stress put on it from the powerlifting phase. My last 3 cycles were 12 weeks each, you dont think I could solidify my gains a bit more by adding 4 more weeks eh? I should just stick to 12 weeks?
