It should be of no problem. I've been out for a year and got back upto where I was in only 8 weeks.

I usually take Aug, Spet and Oct off and takes about 2 months to get back to where I was. But I ususally make gains on top of it.

I like taking breaks now and then. I just took this week off. My muscles really needed it. I have been hitting the gym hard this summer. I think its a good idea for people to do.

3 weeks off at max... 3 months would be suicide for me

overtraining is a bitch. but i think everyone's gotta do it once in a while to keep things in perspective. After that its nice to take a week or a couple off. its not like you cant make it back... esp with a little help with some of my little friends

3 months not on purpose but just becauseI find it hard to drag my ass into the gym in the summer heat. I'm not recommending it though.

your muscles start to lose after 14 days. After 3 weeks i bet its hard i never took more than 2 weeks off and she hated it!! lol

InsulinAL, I have the same problem. Have to find different ways to do incline presses, etc.
Try Glucosamine, helps me quite a bit.

i cant stand to even take off the weekends. i just feel like crap when im not in the gym. Al, my left shoulder has been bugging the hell outa me as well this summer. i cant seem to get them to grow unless they hurt.
