I've been training for about 3 years now and usually go three months, take 4 days off and get back at it, recently i'm on about 9 months straight without more than 2 days off in a row...i've been wanting to take some time off as i've been feeling sore alitte longer, bcaa's has really helped but even on days when i feel like my workout wasn't ground breaking, i'm sore for a few days, for example chest on monday and i'm still sore on thursday,
my question is how long off is to long? i didn't train sunday because saturday was my buddy's b-day and it was a long night, monday i spent the whole day in the city and got back late, and then even though i was dead tired i slept for like 3 hours last night, so i'm thinking now is about time to take the time off....so today would be day 3...i was thinking 5 or 6 days?
usually after the 4 days off i feel refreshed and ready to get back at it...but this is longer than i usually wait
