Personally, i need rest sometimes during cycle and i usually take 3 days. and that's total rest. That's enough time for me. and when i go back i feel good and rested. But it's hard not to go.
A week sounds like a little much, but i don't know you're body or what you've been doing to it. And if you're benching 315, you will probably bench 315 when you go back in a week.
That is, if you're not lazy. haha..sorry, had to throw that in there.
