    Hi guys,

    What do ye think of incorporating a deloading week every 4-6 weeks as part of one's routine? Anyone do it regularly here?

    Regards,
    RM

    If you need to deload, deload.

    If you don't, don't.

    If you've hit a wall on an exercise, change it.

    You lose like a quarter of a years training time if you deload every 4 weeks...

    You can keep progressing without stalling out just be periodising load and changing movements.

    Agreed. The majority of recreational trainers are not generating the intensity nor doing the volume of training to necessitate deloading of any kind...at most...if you are tired...take a day off...that's all the deloading that 99% of posters here are likely to need.
