How many weeks

[ty357]

How many weeks or months you should workout before taking a rest. And how long the rest period should be. Thanks

[eatrainrest]

im around 8 weeks steady.. 1 week completely off

[FireGuy]

23 years in the gym, one week off twice in that time, both after surgeries.

1 week vacation a year should do the trick, if you have joint problems then just take time off when you feel the need.

every 3 months

Same here.

Only time I take off is after surgery or injuries.

Or if I hit a plateau or feel like Im getting burned out. Then I'll take a week off, then start with something different.
Plus it keeps me sane...

No offence but do you not think this might be telling you, you need more rest?
Having said that I have had 2 one week rests in the last year and a half.

None taken.
Well, I've only had 1 surgery and it was gyno related.
And the only injuries I get are basketball related.

If my body needs rest, I give it rest.

It's basketball, you shouldn't be tackling like it's football.
