Hey what's up everyone and welcome back to @fitstrength007. So you're going to the gym repping out heaviest weight possible week after week and now you just feel exhausted and stressed due to prolonged and intolerable stress (heavy lifting) being placed on the body! Now might be the time to introduce a deload week. A deload week, as the name implies, is a week of training in which you still go to the gym to workout, but the intensity and volume of your workouts are far easier to manage. A deload week is a scheduled reduction in the total intensity and/or volume of your workouts. Now i know most of you will be like what the hell this dude is talking but i can tell you that deload weeks can actually help your body to recover better and come back even stronger. Also your joints and Central nervous system are working week after week and they're worn out, so a deload week would give nothing but some time to rest to your joints and CNS which is very necessary to increase the longevity of your joints. Now how to do it? You just simply lift 30-40% of the weight that you normally would and focus on right technique.This is the time you focus on your sleep and create balance in life. Furthermore don't just jump into the heavy training after the deload week right away, instead you want slowly progress with the weights on the bar.
Remember More pain doesn't necessarily means more gain. Until next time 💪💪💪
