Taking a rest
I stopped going to the gym for about 2 months, because my dad got sick and died at the age of 60. I could not keep it together; he was an athlete, my trainer and my role model. But now I’m back to the gym, commited to work hard for myself and for him. I know he was proud of me.
I felt weaker the first week I came back, the second week I got stronger, the third week even stronger, the four week I felt almost like before I stopped working out. Now, two months later I’m stronger than before, and I feel really good.
Conclusion, I think is good to take one or two weeks to rest after months of hard work.

Agreed. I think that your body gets time to repair some deeper inflicted stresses that you put upon it, you know?
