My whole last week was a deloading period. It was great, I feel great, but I was bored. So I ravage my training log and found two important things:
- My schedule wasn’t balanced. Doing 3 practice days a week with 2 different days (alternating A-B-A-B) was leaving me with one less day. So, to solve it, I’ll be deloading at the fifth week (basically, I’ll be adding one extra week per cycle).
- I had lost focus of the most basic of movements, and their numbers went down. So, I’ll be GTGing them back up to par (squats, pull-ups and hanging leg raises). This will be done besides my regular training, which includes all of these movements.
This is the real work in your deloading weeks: reassess your training, optimize and start over better, stronger, and better focus.
