Depends on how long and at what level you have lifted, 3 weeks is nothing if you have been lifting for 10 years+, but for a beginner it might set you back a tiny bit.

I start to feel the effects after 2 weeks. Strength and drive goes down. Be careful or you'll lose interest all together and not reach your goals. Get back to the gym!

2 days per week is enough to maintain.
Just get back in the gym, give yourself proper acclimation, and see where you are at. |

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

I find that I benefit better by taking off a week every so often, but I guess everyone knows this. Now, after 3 weeks it's a little hard to come back to the gym, not to mention the bad food I probably ate and alcohol I consumed during that time to keep me away from lifting.
