How long do you guys lift before taking a week off or so?

Eh, that depends if I'm doing my own thing or the school workout.

When I was doing my own thing, I did the high rep stuff for about 6 weeks before I took a week off, and low reps for about 4 weeks before I took a week off (this was designed due to injuries).

For our school program, we lift for roughly 12 weeks at a time before taking a week off.

6-8 weeks on and 1 off.
But i still do cardio on my off week.
I cant stand to be away from the gym. I start to feel guilty

My off season training starts October until May 1st. Ill go until christmas and take a week off during the holidays(approx 12 weeks), then again right before my 8 week pre season power programs in the end of February(8weeks).

This is because I play in a summer football league that runs May until Sept.
