I never took a week off on purpose but read that it is recommended every now and then for the body to recoup ... any of y'all do it? like not deload, but stop lifting in general for a week?
How often do y'all take a week off for recovery/recharge?

rarely, I get anxious as fukk on rest days. a whole week? 
i work out 4 times a week. ill usually skip one of my workouts ever 2-3 weeks and ill take 5-7 straight days off once every 6-8 weeks
I had to take a week off from PHAT after doing it for 2 months
Generally though only time I take off is if I get sick

word to this...
overtraining can be a bytch but the only thing that keeps from hitting the gym for a week is when i'm so sick i gotta hit the doctor's office...
I dont take a week off. But ill take a week and do nothing but calistenics,running and swimming. i wont touch any weights that week. Come back after that week and be feeling strong as shyt!
more than a week off and my lifts suffer
i always think my energy in the gym is generally dependent on nutrition and sleep(moreso sleep)
alot of people underestimate the power of consistent rest

I Definitely take a week or two off for recovery weeks, BUT still hit the cardio 6 days a week.
