I would say its a requirement of a good routine to have rest periods in there to let your body fully recover.

The only thing is, don't let the recovery period sneek its way to getting longer and longer as you dont feel like getting back into it.

A week should give you plenty of time to fully recover and you should hit the gym stronger than you were when you took the break :)

Hope that helps...

Cheers

You need to deload properly (typically every 4-8 weeks depending on the type of routine you're on). This is imperative if you want progress.

I think that he must have taken the advice because I haven't seen him in the gym recently :p

:eek: You must not have eaten a lot! When I took a week off, I gained 4 pounds. Probably from all the pizza and fried chicken though. :whistle:

Hey! I have been down there for the last two weeks solid... 4 times a week, but I have been going an hour earlier than normal as my training partner (Paul) was away on hols so I didn't hhave to wait for him to finish work before leaving.
