If you’re working your muscles overtime, blasting them five or six days a week for months at a time, then take this bit of advice:
i take some time off from training and it helps alot i see to many guys (and girls too ) train them selfs out of the game they just get sick of it and quit i tell them to rest a week or so and go back to it then you will feel much better and refreshed .So if you feel out of it and your workouts are getting boring and your tired of training please take a break your body will thank you for it .

Give it a rest.

That’s right, over-training is one of the cardinal sins many bodybuilders are so frequently guilty of, pumping away with heart and fire, trying to turn out the desired results in one supercharged stretch.

Fatigue is certainly a bodybuilder’s archnemesis. When you’re muscles are being overworked, they will not perform for you. Thus, your gains will be replaced by pains. You’ll see yourself in a rut, treading along but going nowhere. And you’ll find that every workout day, you’re just dragging yourself to the gym.

The general feel is that hard trainers should grind out six to eight weeks of vigorous training before taking a one-week layoff to recuperate. Of course, this is not etched in stone; some trainers will find an energy spurt that can take them further without a break (say 10 weeks or so), while others could burn out after just a few short weeks.

When and how long you rest depends on you.

However, your layoff period should not be marked on a calendar. Do not come back from a break and automatically mark your next one in eight weeks. The vacations you take from training should not be planned ahead of time, but rather, spontaneously.

And when it comes to this vacation, your body is your only boss.
