Deload Week

Deload week is a planned, programmed light week — roughly 40/50/60% of your TM for three sets of 5, no AMRAP.

It exists so the real work of weeks 1–3 is sustainable long-term.

Don't skip it because you feel fresh. Deloads aren't rest days — they're easy training days that let your joints, CNS, and motivation reset before you put more weight on the bar next cycle.
