I have been training hard for about 10 weeks straight. After my performance declined a little last week, I knew it was time for a rest.
Since Friday, I have decided to take a break until this Wednesday.
I'm not one who enjoys taking a break from lifting, but it is something you need to do every now and then. How often? Well, if you are training HARD, then I would say about every 8-10 weeks you should take at least 4 full days off from lifting.
Some people don't lift with any intensity, therefore it's not really necessary for them to take a break.
After this brief rest, I plan on coming back even stronger on Wednesday.
Keep that in mind: you can't go 100% for ever. You need to allow your body to rest.
