Hey guys, I have been cutting and lifting as heavy as possible for about 4 months now with no break at all from weight lifting. The last week or so I have been getting some lower back pains (like locking style pains) and elbow pains. I was wondering if it would be a smart idea to take a week off from weight training. I will still keep up my cardio and healthy clean low calorie eating, but without the weight lifting. Is this a bad idea? Should I stop the cardio also?
Thanks

starting stats 08/4-158.5 lbs,95cm waist, ~25% body fat
current stats 16/7-146 lbs, 81cm waist, ~13.0% body fat
original short term goal = 16 July = 12% BF. Actual reached = 16 July = 13% BF.
New short term goal = increase calories by 250/week, hope to hit 10-11% BF by the time I reach my bulking calories (3rd Sept).
Medium term goal = 160 lbs @ 10% body fat by April 2011
long term goal = 180 lbs, 10% body fat
