I did my week rest last week, and started back lifting this week. And thank God I did. Man, I really needed that. It made me remember just how much I love to lift.

Rest is good for the soul as someone once told me. It makes you eager to push yourself again. Have fun and train hard.

I hear you...I need my rest periods, but I can't wait by the end of them to get over so I can get back in the gym. I do miss the feel of the pump so much. Gluton for punishment I guess. LOL>..

I can relate. I just took off 3 weeks because of a minor neck injury. I just started back the other day. I feel great. I'm a little sore but I love that feeling. Your body needs a break every so often. I've read in many different articles that when you hit a plateau you should take a few weeks of from lifting.
