I have at least one weeks rest but my muscle e.g biceps are always still sore when i tense em ( feels like its ripping out of the skin ) when i sometimes take 2 week off training to full recover it shocks the muscle and i get a better feeling in my muscles than training that part every once a week. I don't over train, so do you think should have round about an 8 day rest.

Alot of BB take weeks off,i myself personaly dont do it..Last time i took a week off was about 8 months ago..When i came back after this week off,i felt my body was slow and lacking in pace for ALL exercises.So i'll never take days off ever again.

I'll take a rest twice a year 7 days long in my rest week i still eat high protien food 2 recover
It will give youre muscles time for complete recover

isn't it horrible when you go back and sometimes you anit as strong and you get to like 4 1/2 reps and you won't put the weight down and your just stuck there.LOL after about 20 seconds you finally lift it up in to the finish.

Personally i'll even get stronger after a week rest.
That's most of the time i once went one week off because i was going on holiday.
beer, fast food, very little sleep hehe my strength also went on a big vacation.
