When you take a week or two off from the gym every 12 weeks or so, your muscles, tendons and ligaments repair themselves, the glycogen energy stores in your muscles and liver are replenished and your testosterone levels recover.
Typically, I recommend that people take a few days off from exercising every six to eight weeks, assuming you work out at a good intensity and are consistent. This gives both your mind and body a chance to recover and adapt to the previous weeks of training.
Three-weeks of no training does not affect muscle thickness, strength, or athletic performance previously gained by high-volume RT in male adolescent athletes, independent of the periodization model being used.
When the calories you burn equal the calories you eat, you reach a plateau. To lose more weight, you need to either increase your physical activity or decrease the calories you eat. Using the same approach that worked at first may maintain your weight loss, but it won’t lead to more weight loss.
