VBLOG 50 Plus Deload Workout

A deload, when referring to strength training  is when you reduce volume and intensity for a week or so before returning to Hard and Heavy Training. Deloading is meant to give your joints a break from the heavy loads  and to prevent possible injury from pushing TOO HARD TOO Often. The muscles need to break without having to take too much time off. You already have your rest days in between workouts. Deloading is a way to re-charge without having to take whole weeks off entirely.

                                              WHY DELOAD?

• Heavy lifting for an extended period of time can overload the nervous system.
• Change and variety ensures success. Don't think of deloading as retrogressive. Think of it as a change in routine
• Prevents over training and mental burnout
• Increases progress
• Prevents over training injuries
• Increases motivation.
