Rep Power: 7 | Re: break... I usually take 4-5 days off every 6-12 months. I just go on how i feel, if im getting burnt out in the gym then i know i need at least a few days off. I then start to feel like shit being out of the gym for so long then i want to get back in so bad and my workouts are back to being great! |

Rep Power: 8 | Re: break... 1 week every 12 weeks. I'm taking my week off the week before the Arnold classic. I just do it because I've heard it's good for you. Seeing all the beautiful bodies at the Arnold will leave me feeling extremely motivated. It's a good thing ;) |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: break... I take time off around holidays (sometimes) or when my schedule gets so hectic with exams, etc that I don't have the time/energy for it...i try not to miss more than a week at a time though... it happens often enough (a couple times per semester) that I don't worry about it any other time.

Rep Power: 5 | Re: break... About 1 week every year. But if I feel I need an extra day off every now and then I go ahead and take it off. Can't force a good workout.
