Question: When is a good time to take an off week?

I just finished my second month of Stronglifts, and I've felt very lethargic the last week or so. My appetite isn't what it was when I first started. I'm also failing a lot of workouts, and feel unmotivated all together.

I think my body is just taxed. Should I take one next week?

You already have your answer. Now is a good time to take an active recovery or deload week.

Listen to your body and youl find your limit. I like every 5 to 6 weeks myself.

1 workout is a fluke. 2 shitty workouts, maybe its mental or stress. 3 your body probably needs some rest.

Take a walk.

Edit: ive done Stronglifts... with all the squating I felt like I needed a damn break every 3 weeks. Whats your squat at may be time to cut it to 3x5 or 2 times a week.

Never take off a week. Either keep intensity high and lower volume or the opposite for the week.

I haven't felt a need for a deload in awhile.

I'm gonna finish this week out and then take a week off. My squat is at 225, which for me is a lot. Bench is stuck at 185, DL at 285, OHP is at 125. I've been progressing well for the most part, but this past week has been brutal.
