Fonic ,
You may have built up some scar tissue from too much micro tears and the break makes sense.
Deep massage and heat /vibrator would break up the scar tissue so for a month that could be ur routine.
The scar tissue is exactly what Irspow explains what happens from too much force over a long period of time...the gains grind to a halt.
Irspow:
So definitely there is some ideal ratio of parents and daughters at any given time even though that may never be quantified without some serious medical research that is beyond anything that I could ever perform. But certainly maximizing intensity is unnecessary and inefficient. "Rest" is something that is only necessary when too much intensity put too much of a strain on the available resources within our bodies. And "rest", by definition, cannot be present when speaking in terms of maximizing efficiency. Rest is a solution or a requirement because of prior and present inefficiency.
For a better understanding of this read his posts in this thread...long but GREAT info!!
