The vacation will probably benefit your training more than hurt it.

Don't do it!!!!!

You're going to lose at least 75% of your muscles and strength.

Taking a week off is the WORST thing you can do to your body

Especially if you;ve been training for a while, it is good to take an occasional week off to allow your body to fully recover, so I doubt it will hurt much. It may take a couple days to fully get into the swing of things when you get back but other than that you'll be fine.

I think you'll be fine. Don't think about it and you'll have a better time

I just got back from spring break about a week and a half ago. The liquid diet (all alcohol) isnt the best thing in the world. I lost "the look".. like i lift a lot, but the strength was still there. It was hard getting back in to the swing of things. Alcohol and junk food for a week is so damn fun. First day back at the gym kinda sucked too. But I'm right back where i was before i left. My advice: Have fun and don't worry about it.

I just had my first work-out after a dirty st. paddys weekend in Glasgow; I'm a wee bit stronger than my last bench session 2 weeks ago. If this was an offshoot of all the murderous street violence, I cannot say.

But yeah, definitely go for it - you can get wrecked and eat rubbish KNOWING that you'll still be stronger when you get back.

I agree it will probably benefit u more then hurt you...it will give the muscles time to rest and recover making them stronger...
