My current listening pattern is 1 day on 2 days off so it fine to do a 3 day wash out? Considering i have extra rest days compared to the usual listening pattern.
8 days on 14 days off

I tried the 3, but I really feel 5 is best for a washout. Experiment with it yourself if you like. My listening pattern often includes couple of days’ rest.

I’ve done 3 and was fine before. Depends if same stack is being resumed or switching things up.
I still recommend 5 full rest days though.

Lately i’ve settled on Listening on Tuesday and Friday each week.
I will complete the first 21 day tomorrow process and i am thinking on not doing a washout with this kind of schedule. (since there’s already 2 and 3 days of rest each week)
If i need a washout to change the program let’s say i might skip on a Tuesday and it’s done.

Then there’s also the Mo-We-Fr schedule with every 4th friday off. Without additional 5 day washout. So you should be fine.

I am a convert to more rest days and longer washout these days 
so while 3 days of washout should be fine I believe longer will be more beneficial.

I typically do 3 days, but if I do that for a few cycles in a row, and depending on how dense my stack and how often I rotated titles will occasionally do 5 days.

Your intuition will know your personal answer better than any of us.
When you think about running something to break the washout, you’ll know “inside” if it’s good idea or not.
If you don’t get a definite feeling/answer, take another day to rest, and don’t rush it.
