Iron Worker summed up well what I was saying. Now, that is not the only appropriate deload for everyone of course. It depends on the idividual. That routine you posted is a intensity reduction deload...the idea usually with those is just to get some reps in. But that is assuming that you are recovering from the volume but you nervous system is playing catchup.

I can't be sure what is going on for you but the question is whether you are losing absolute abilty or, just missing reps or whatever. Big difference.

However, I really doubt that you need to cut the intensity a great degree and just go "light". I would try basically what IW and I suggested.

If you want to go and just get some reps in...higher than 8 reps would be best and not a whole sets it certainly should be fine. I mean, a lot of times it's good just to do what you feel like doing.

When it comes to the max work the reason I explained how I do the singes and such is because that is basically a way to periodize it...it has built in deloading from the high intensity stuff..

But there are many different ways to deload according to the needs of the individual.

You may in the future need to be more formal in the way you handle both the high intesnity movments and the higher volume accessories/assistances. With some people I can give them very lose guidlines and they can just go and go, progress, and not really get too drained or "overtrained" and with others they need to dial it in very tight and be very deliberate in what they are and are not going to do week in and week out.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
