Amazing what you can accomplish by making small deposits every day. Way to invest in yourself. Compounding interest, baby!
What is Deload Week?
Deload week is where the rewards of your hard work emerge, as in:
Water weight will fall away — if fueling to help facilitate this.
You’ll see even more muscle definition and all-around ‘tightening.’
Strength will have increased considerably from week one heading into the next phase (with muscle-building nutrition and rest/recovery).
Why Do We Deload?
To allow muscles and central nervous system to repair (thus grow) and recover from accumulated fatigue so you can remain on an uptrend of fat loss and muscle growth vs. rebound bodyfat gain and strength plateaus.
When it comes to getting into peak physical condition, most people believe more is more.
This is wrong.
Most people stay on “diets” too long, do the same workouts at the same intensity for too long and then wonder why they plateau, regain bodyfat+ or no longer make progress.
The oceans ebb and flow. Heart rates come up and they come down (or else you die). Every living thing requires a period of complete inactivity aka sleep. The stock market can be on a parabolic bull run and still pull back for weeks at a time.
In essence: everything needs a cool off period in order to regroup, regain greater strength and carry on.
This is what your deload week is. Although they feel like a cake walk, do not skip deload workouts. Do so at the peril of your future fitness.
Deload is when you'll see a lot of water weight fall away as muscle micro-tear inflammation heals.
If you've been following the nutrition (or just making better muscle-fueling choices) you'll look tighter and feel lighter as your deload week progresses.
Help your bod out by staying hydrated and continuing stellar sleep hygiene.
The 3 Pillars must remain standing for the long haul.
- Keep erring on the side of protein during deload to give your muscles everything they need to recover and grow back bigger and stronger!
- Deloading is also a psychological break after putting in so much effort and focus. No need for the Eye of The Tiger. Chill with the lighter weights and focus on full range of motion and good form.
REMEMBER: It's supposed to feel incredibly easy!
