I hate rest days.

I hate rest days too, because I always seem to have more energy on my workout days. Even so, I consider rest days as my "payment" for hopefully a long future of great injury-free workouts.

Another reason I hate my rest days...I have to eat fewer calories...booooo!

Rest days do suck.

My program now is one day on, one off, so I get lots of rest days. But I can feel how tight my muscles are from the day before all the time on this program, which makes me want to go use them

Even if I could just run across the street and do a max deadlift I'd feel better

How often do most of you take rest days?

I try and go Monday, Tuesday, rest Wednesday, on again Thursday, Friday, and hopefully Saturday. Rest on Sunday.

yup, i HATE rest days too, unless it happens to be the day after i have done some self-mutilation (see: good mornings). but i usually do some kind of lifting throughout the whole week, whether it be recovery/rehab/etc.

Check out the active recovery sticky at the top of the page. Spatts posted some great info with good instruction.

I think it would help keep you active enough on your off days and might cut down your urge to push around weights.
