Does anyone.....

Does anyone take off for a week sometimes. I did for the first time to let a shoulder heal. I have felt like a total waste all week not doing nothing.

i took off this past week and most of last week but not because i wanted to. i hurt my hip playing hockey and can barely sit so i figured i would wait it out. i do know how you feel, i am so restless and just want to get my butt back in there and go hard.

I take off a week every 5 to 6 weeks. It gives my muscles a good chance to fully recover and I'm usually better for it when I come back. But usually a week is my limit, if I have to take off more time then I too get really jumpy lol! Usually I can prepare for this time off by turning up the intensity of my previous workouts and then my body is yelling for a break.

If you build it they will come

Yep, I am taking next week off even though it's tough to stay out of the gym. I got to get a life! It has been 3 months since I took a break and my joints are crying out for me to.

I take a week off every 3-4 months.

I take at least one week off at least every 6 to 8 weeks.
