haha i know what you mean about being really sore. I hate taking days off, but once in a while I take 3-4 completely off. Just gotta remember your body is growing when its recovering.

5 days off ?!? That would mean you only train 2 days a week.

Yeah...
And there's time in my training where the work load is severe enough that there is no need to do more than 2 days per week...
Hell, I only lifted twice this week...

I say if you are training heavy then minimum of 2 days off. If you are feeling really sore and your body needs some rest then make it 3. Let your body be the guide, no answer is right. Cardio after a heavy day of leg work is brutal. I have never been able to do it. I had some tendonitis problems in the knees due to not listening to my body years ago. Just be smart and train hard results will come.

It all depends on you. I dont take anydays off. I do my hlaf hour of cardio in the am. And i do 45mins to an hour of heavy lifting at night. I dont take days off.
