Just wanted to see if anyone else takes a whole week off, and how often. I think I'm still going to do some yoga, but take a break from lifting.

Back when I was lifting a lot and regularly, I would take a week off every few months. Same as above, it was as much or more of a mental break than physical, but I always felt like I came back more focused and stronger.

I rest between workouts.

I can't even remember the last full week I took off.. even vacations we find gyms to drop in to everywhere we go.

I take a day off about every 2 weeks because some part of me is overly sore and I know I shouldn't do much.. but even those days I normally run and stretch.

Going to Mexico in a few weeks, but we've already located a gym to visit.. 7-day backpacking hike in August, that'll be a full week of no barbells
