How many days before loss of gains?

that isn't really something you should worry about
if you need to recover and rest, then do it. you will lose muscle and so what? you will actually come back stronger if your body is repaired
my attitude on this has changed as i've aged and you will as well. when i was late teens and 20's i would hammer away. when you get into your mid 30's you cannot do that anymore

This gets asked more or less weekly.
It takes over two weeks off to even start to lose gains, and its minimal. A lot longer than people think. Time off can actually make you stronger. Gives your muscles time to fully heal and recover. I take a full 10 days off at least 2 to 3 times a year
Take a couple days off to recover on day 3 you should be good to go. Even on days off get in the sauna to stretch or do some light exercises.
