define long rest.
Usually every few months I take 1 week off from the gym to repair tiny tears and get my motivation back up if its low. It's healthy and nessescary to take atleast a week break every 8-12weeks.
Also from what i've read 1-2 weeks off from the gym with a normal diet you will not lose muscle mass, after the 3rd week of not training it begins to go down.
Layne probably has more info on the matter but if the break isn't a month or more I'd think you'll be fine, a little strength loss won't hurt you because you'll come back more motivated.
