I've been lifting for a while now for 4 days a week constantly. Last night I was trying to get through my routine but it seemed like my body was just burned out and I had to cut it short. I'm thinking about just taking one solid week off to let my body recover. Anyone else ever had to do this?
Anyone ever take a week or so off from lifting?

I took off a solid week and made some new PRs.definitely do it every now and then.
by how much
Just try it man. My PR increase may be small to you but 20 on squats.
listen to your body breh 
if you feel like you need a break you probably do. everybody should deload every once in a while. whether it's cutting back on weight and/or volume for a week or just plain ol taking off.

Its been getting progressively worse over the last few months. My wrists cant keep up with the weight the rest of my body can lift. So i did a heavy chest session bench, dumbbells, flys etc.. then did 10 rounds on the bag, felt ok after, maybe a little sore , woke up in the worst pain ever
thought i'd broken my wrist couldn't even life up a glass properly for a few days. Plus my body had been feeling a lil burned out lately so it was a good time to take a break. Get some wrist straps breh, dont ignore it like i did.I'm on amazon right nowIts been getting progressively worse over the last few months.

No probs with taking time off. Just make sure you keep your protein + calorie intake up
