Very few trainees will need to cut intensity during a deload. Kane and Pity are right on right on the money as usual.

Anything is subject to individual experiments and results but a volume cut is gonna generally do the trick for most trainess with only a few extremely advanced individuals needing to serious dial back intensity.

For sure with the the median intensity leve of a typical 5x5, then a volume cut-back is all that is needed. The 5x5 is the easiest thing in the world to plan a deload from. Just subtract around 40 percnet from the overall volume..for starters.

Taking two weeks off is NOT delading it is DETRAINING. BIG difference. But that time you WILL begin to see the first manifestations of strenght loss and you may even drop off in terms of endurance, etc..

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