should i really take a week off???

[mattbb]

I have been training now for about 10 weeks...my progress has been awesome. I just dont think i can live with myself and not go to the gym for a week. Is it really nessacary to take a week off?

suggestions/comments..thanks guys!

do you train everyday? if you only train 5 or less times a week, I'd say it's not necessary. If you train 6 or 7 times a week, take at least a few days off.

Yes. A good weeks rest is always good. Just dont go thinkin you can go crazy and eat all junk food. Stay on a clean diet. =)

One week off every 8-12 weeks isn't just a good idea, it's required for maximum growth and results. You may feel lazy not exercising, but when you come back in a week, you will be well rested, stronger, and in prime position to continue gaining.

If you find your getting tired of the routein and feel like you need a rest then you could take a week off. But if your fine and can carry on, then there's not really any need in taking a week off. But it can be good as its gives all your mucles a chance to fully recover and can help to stimulate muscle growth. If your feeling fit, then carry on bro

lol i dunno about that. But you should come back stronger after a week out. and refreshed and be all ready to lift them weights again.

Well is that your first 10 weeks of training? If so I don't really thik you'll need to take a week off for a while. But if you aren't a begginer and have just been training ten consecutive weeks then yeah its a good time.

taking a week off is not a bad thing
just sleep and eat a lot

A week off after a long time of training will do nothing but good...

I hear that you should only take a week off when you feel ****ty and feel like your really weak
