edit: strength didn't drop off much, but endurance took a big hit. couldnt do as many sets or as many exercises at my usual intensity. i figure 2 rotations will be back to good.

the good news is my shoulder pain, and the rest of my aches are all gone and my body feels rested. the 2 weeks off was as much of a forced rest than anything else with work schedual and christmas, etc. 13 hour work days dont leave much time for the gym.

alot of articles i've read suggest taking a week off every 6-9 weeks.

thats awesome! good thing your strength didn't take a hit! I would suggest just to take maybe a week off lifting and just do cardio? just even 15-30mins of it just to keep your body in that state!
