Taking time off?

[muscle69]

How often do you guys take off from training? Do you take one or two weeks off at a time after so many months? I have been training since 1988 and it seems like i hardly ever take off that much even when I went to disney world I said I would take a week off but found myself getting up every morning before wife and kids got up and I was do the bands because didnt have any weights at disney. Even after I done the State show last year and the magazine ad said I would take off and never did! I need to start making myself take off more. How often and how much do you guys take off at a time from training?

For me I never take off, even when sick.I should but I get pissed
just missing a day. Funny you mentioned Disney world. We go
twice a year sometimes and yes most resorts don't have weight
rooms. What i did was went to the front desk asked the manager
about gyms and he told me if I can remember a golds that you pay
like 15 dollars per day and one resort hotel that had a weight room
that cost the same. Can't remember the hotel though.

taking time off is one of the best things you can do.. I take a couple weeks off every once and a while

normally

i take 1 week off out of every 12-15 weeks of training. Remember that your CNS has to endure a lot during workouts.
Also i have not been using any gear for a few years now so being "natural" i believe that i have to take more care of my body.
Being "on" you dont have to take that much time off, because you recuperate much faster with AAS.

I took off almost 5 mo. and it was the best thing that I could've done. I would get a pump here and there, but nothing real intense. I can't say that I'll take off that long again or atleast any time soon, but a month off after each show, I will do.
