I've seen more gains while resting but my problem is that when I stop working out regularly I drift into unhealthy ways of eating, drinking etc...
MBA students come out with: "My staff is my most important asset." Bull*****. Staff is usually your biggest cost. We all employ some lazy ****s who needs a kick up the backside, but no one can bring themselves to admit it.

I don't plan weeks off, but I do end up taking a couple weeks off every year for a variety of unplanned reasons: sickness, injury, travel, etc. As long as you are feeling energetic, making progress, and enjoying your training sessions then you don't need weeks off.

because giving the body a little rest during the year is a good idea.
