Taking a week off before next cycle, good idea or bad?

[M56M]

I have been training seriously for 3 years, and i have been going about 7 months straight without a week off. I usually take a week every 3 months or so. I am about to start a winny only cycle, do you think it is a good idea to give my body a week rest before starting this cycle or not? Thanks alot for all replys, they are appreciated.

I dont think it will hurt any...
I like to take breaks here and there I believe it helps, cause when I take a week off and come back I am more intense while lifting.
