you should take a week off every 8 weeks of lifting. Give your body some rest

The shadows of your mind
Taking a week off occassionally is a great rejuvination technique. You may even want to come back and do a medium intensity workout for a few weeks. Going balls to the walls constantly will pay a toll on your nervous system and your ability to recover.

Many power lifters and bodybuilders actually find that they have to take time off in order to get past a training plateau. I you feel sick, your body is trying to tell you something bro. Take a break and let the healing begin!

Dont worry about that, its just numbers. If it does drop a tad, it will come back. Usually when I take a week off though and come back, my strength goes up because Im rested and relaxed.
