How often do you take a week off?

[lvnlrge]

Just wondering how often people take an entire week off of all training to just relax and let there bodies recover? I train every workout as if it's going to be my last and try to take a week off once every 3 months.

I try to listen to my body, when I start feeling fatigue and I find myself in the gym for the sake of being their I take a week off. Funny how a week off can mend muscles and at the end of the week I am dying to get back into the gym.

Almost never - and I probably should.
Thing is a REALLY enjoy training.

I do try to de-load about once every 8 weeks, but often find I cannot hold back as much as I should.

Same here...it's been almost a year since I've had a full week off. My body is probably about due.
