      Once a week for me. Multiple days only when I do family vacation. And I still jog then.

      Only you know how hard you train. If body is sore, dial back a bit. My days off each week change depending on level of fatigue. Right now Im two on, one off . two on two off. Seems to help recovery for me

      I don't see anything wrong with taking a week off if needed. The key is to keep lifting and if you need to take time off so that you don't burn out then take it! I've done it and i always come back charged up and ready to get after it again. When you're at if for a long time and it starts to be a grind and like you said your body starts to feel beat up, take a break! I don't see anything wrong with it especially when you're over 40. Shit I have an 11 year old daughter who's knee keeps blowing up from over training soccer. she's fucking 11! time off is a good thing sometimes!

      Absofuckinglutely lol bodybuilding is about finding the balance between pushing to stimulate new growth without digging into recovery.

      Define or take a week off if you feel you need it , if you feel you need it you probably needed a few weeks ago
