How much time to take off before competition?

I've heard to take off one week before a competition to let all of your muscles fully heal from previous workouts so when the competition comes up your body is fully healed and ready to go. What do you guys think?

That has been my method for three years now and it has worked well for me...I also take one week off after the competition formy body to recover from nine max attempts.
