does anyone just take a week off training every now and then?

if so how often?

I think im about to get the flu, the wife has had it badly and my throat is stating the burn.. so i think im going to take a week off from training to just recover before the flue gets any worse..

but i was curious as to how many people take a week or so off every now n then, to just eat hard and sleep long to let the body recover fully?

I take a week off about every 6 months ... If I want to or not !!! I think you do grow if you get the right rest .

every 3 months I force myself to stay out of the gym for a full week. It works for me and keeps me fresh and allows me to heal

Every three months for myself as well. Feels good to rest up, gain the strength back and grow a bit.

I do too, I know it does my body good to take the week off, but my mind is what fucks me and really makes me wanna go in. I just feel lazy as hell for that week and it depresses me

I've been trying to convince myself to take some time off now, but I just can't do it. I only started back in January and I know it'd be good to take a week off every 6 months, but I can't make myself
