is it a good idea to have a week off from the gym while on PCT?

I do flat bench, incline bench, and dumbell flys, 5 sets each, and my workout takes an hour with all the stretching, flexing, etc. between sets. I usually take about 120sec break between sets unless I'm lifting my max, then I'll take an exta 30 or so.

Yeah I like to keep my workouts short and intense, I tend to rest anywhere from 20 to 40 seconds, keeps the acids flowing in my muscles, so I feel the burn every set :-) love it, no pain no gain ;-)

I believe what theyre trying to tell you is to do hypertrophy workouts, longer rest times with heavy weight (you'll still be strong and will gain bigger size by doing this) what you're actually doing is more of like lactating circuits which is smaller rest times, I don't know if you are maximizing your weight as you go along, I alter 2-3 months at a time, I do hypertrophy get bigger and gain some size, then I switch to power/strength workouts (mixing regular gym with Olympic lifting is the route i take) hypertrophy if you like to be quick and more explosive in sports will slow you down. ... It all depends what you want ^_^ I like to mix them both not too much hypertrophy workout but it is needed IMO.
