How do y’all approach a deload week? I’m definitely gonna cut the weight by half but I’m not sure about the volume. Do I cut that I half too?

[andrewjacksonjihad]

Looking for advise. Thanks

@andrewjacksonjihad I usually will just reduce overall volume - so if you do 6 rounds usually I'd do either 3 or 4. Weight stays the same.

@andrewjacksonjihad Left side one day, right side the next.

Boom. Done. Deloaded.

@andrewjacksonjihad I would cut weight OR volume by half, but not both at the same time. But hey, everyone is different.

@andrewjacksonjihad I don't lift, I do other active stuff like walk, jog, hike, or play volleyball.

If I'm feeling really beat up I will do even less, maybe just go for walks and stretch.

@andrewjacksonjihad My last deload week I went from 3 sessions to 1, and cut volume in half. Weight was the same. I put it in a middle day, to keep the patterns fresh for next week

I took a lot more walks that week to feel like I was doing something
