I've taken 2 weeks off lol
But, I trained straight for 4 months non-stop. The resting part is amazing, I think your body recovers more than anything. I just simply believe we overtrain from time to time, it's inevitable. The reason Im saying that, is, when Im in the rhythm of training sometimes I get sleep deprived, with that being said, going to the gym off lack of sleep is like taxing your muscles since your training on top of minimal recovery time.
The time off is essential, I get more rest(minus the weights), and for some reason Im sleeping a lot better now, Im certain my body is appreciating what Im doing. The break in between training is like Im offsetting for recovery time lost from the duration of my previous training regimen. It's pretty much a makeup point from here on in.
