nycman530 New York, NY 64, joined Dec. 2010	About every 2 months I'll take a week off from the gym. So if I work out Tues, Thurs, and Sat, after a Tues workout, for instance, I won't return until the following Tuesday, which means I only missed 2 workouts. And I come back refreshed. It's good to take an occasional rest for muscle recovery and for the nervous system to recover. So how often does everyone here take off and for how long?

dougiem Tucson, AZ 37, joined Aug. 2009	Right? She literally posts in every single forum and it's usually just one dumb smiley. She posted in the Maine group the other day just to reply with: So annoying. People like her should be banned for wasting database space with useless replies.

sweetsiren1234 Smithtown, NY 38, joined Dec. 2013	I try to go to the gym anywhere between 3-5 days depending on my schedule. I know when my energy is low, that's definitely when I need to go for a pick-me-up.

When you say you train instinctively, do you mean you just take a break when your body tells you it's time to? That's what I've been doing lately. I no longer have a set day off.

I go by how my body feels.. Nothing is set in terms of days off or on. I could take 3 days off or 1. I Tore my calve a few yrs ago after following a strict routine for yrs. Now I just go by feel.

dougiem Tucson, AZ 37, joined Aug. 2009	Indeed. That's what I've been doing over the last year and it's worked out great. I used to wear myself too thin by hitting the gym too many days in a row and I'd wind up with joint and/or muscle problems. Now I just listen to my body and if I feel too worn down I take the day off or just go on a nice, long walk instead.

gamerman17 New York, NY 30, joined Apr. 2010	A week off every two to three months. I have personally found that this gives my muscles and body a much needed rest as well as keeping my strength gains without losing power in the process. Anything else I feel that I see a sharp decrease in my lifts, particularly bench press and deadlifts.....gamer

zipp123456789 Mc Clure, PA 32, joined Jun. 2013	I train hard with high intensity twice a week. High volume once or twice a week isolating weak points. I mix the volume and intensity for 3 lifts, bench, squat, and deadlift, each week. Days in between I work mobility and flexibility with light cardio, normally walking for active recovery. I'm a powerlifter. I don't take "time off" or "deload." There's no such thing as overtraining, just being unprepared.

lost4words73 Waverly, OH 44, joined Sep. 2014	Have to agree with Zipp. As a powerlifter (albeit non-competitive) there is no such thing as time off. I might lighten up for a week if I've overworked for a few weeks, but never take time off.
