Should I rest for a week now?

[Rebelsith]

Ive been lifting hard for about 5 months 4-5 nights a week now. I overheard somewhere that if you have been lifting that long you should take a 1 week rest break.

Is that true?

Im not sure about that. I may take a few days rest but not a week...

Also if you go ahead with taking a break for a week be careful you can get back into it. Usually its extremely hard taking a week of then getting back into it. So just keep that in mind.

Cheers

It depends on what your body is telling you.

You should know whether or not you need a break off. Trust yourself.

A week off every now and then is great. I know when I start to get tired, feel sore all over and start getting little injuries (pulled muscles etc) I always come back stronger
