Time away from the gym.

What are your thoughts on taking time away from the gym?

Im not talking about a few days, i mean taking a break for training. Im coming back from taking 2 weeks off. My lower back and knees feel good and im hungry to get back into it.

I have a powerlifting buddy, he takes 3 to 4 months off after big comps. He says it allows his cartilage and ligaments to heal and to refuel his hunger for training again. Obviously 3 to 4 months is outrageously long.

Would like to hear what you guys think about this.
