so im in my 5th week of a new routine

ive liked it so far and this week im suposed to 'deload'

is deloading doing less volume? and/or frequency? or just lower weight for the week? im a little confused

Any help much appreciated

Cheers

Carl

you can keep the intensity up...just drop the volume...and cut back on accessories.

Or you can lower intensity, and lower volume a little by cutting back on accessory work.

I think, if I read it right, that Carlz already knew that these were his choices

I've venture to say that most of the time Pity's advice will serve on this. I.E. the average trainee needs a volume cut-back. I have certainly learned to assume that, on average, most lifter are not engaged in any near-maximal training, and even then there is not TOO much need for a cut-back on intensity...but keeping the intensity about the same while cutting down volume will suffice for the first week (don't know how long of a deload is called for).

But the needs really depend on the training so you'd need to post up the routine. Probably an entire training history is not needed at this time..just the current routine.

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

Like Eric said it depends on the trainee. You might even want to take the week off.
