Yeah, I’ve also heard it takes 2 weeks of rest for muscles to break down. So a couple of days is nada to rest and then work on other muscles
I think 2 weeks is the max. It really depends on your genetics, diet, and lifestyle. If you’re eating clean food, have good genetics, and are getting good sleep then one week is probably fine. But always listen to your body. If you need to go to the gym but you’re feeling tired and lazy then you might need more rest. If you’re still feeling lazy after 1.5-2 weeks then you might just be lazy and need to go anyway lmao
Nah I’m not taking more than 1 day rest (unless I’m pain). And even on rest day I will get in a 30 to 45 min walk. If I rest 2 days, it starts getting hard going back in routine

Oh nah w mixing it up, it’s not just weights. Even weights it’s light but but additional number of reps. It’s 2-3 days and then 1 day rest. There’s leg days, cycling, elliptical, jogging, swimming. It’s 2 variations per training day. I’m not trying to get big. Even my diet is well rounded. My diet and routine had to be this way or I will bore out
Good luck with that!
I’m three months in, I’ll take a few days off soon enough
