Whats everyones thoughs on taking off a week of two to rest up

[xplicit]

I been working out for 2 years now and all i cna remeber is missing a week 2 or 3 times. I just finished a cycle and im done with clomid but my body is killing me from work and lifting. I want to take off a week to rest up and, hopefully maybe miss the gym so i can go back with more enthusiam and energy cause right now i kinda dread it.

I was also wondering can you really lose any muscle or strenght from missing a week or 2 ?

Thanks

gives your central nervous system a chance to stop getting it's ass kicked 3-5 times a week.your bosy doesn't knwo whether you are performing a bench press or a barbell curl.it just knows it's system is being taxed.so imo it's a good idea. i always come back stronger after a week or two layoff and gains seem to follow accordingly.
