There are times in your training life when you are meant to push hard, and then back off, then push hard, then back off, etc..it continues. By doing this, you are able to keep training, stay relatively injury free, and stay fresh mentally. With everyone that I train, I do this. In fact, after a meet, I don't even let them squat, bench or deadlift for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks, they are chomping at the bit to get back to it. Unfortunately, I don't take my own advice and I am now coming back from a pulled lat, pec and adductor.
So, you can either be smart, and cycle your training, or your body will do it for you eventually.
