Are deload weeks necessary? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been doing yoga for over 2 years multiple times pretty much every week and I restarted weightlifting for mostly hypertrophy dec 2023 after not having done it for 5 years. I've never put that much thought towards "deload weeks" where you take a full on break for a week in order to have your body recover a bit better. Are these a necessity or what are your thoughts towards it?

@OP Consider also that while a full week off isn't optimal, it's not bad either. For most people, this works out better because it gives you time to do other stuff.
