I remember Dave making a point how deloads tend to happen whether you program them or not. From a busy schedule causing missed workouts / short workouts, injuries , and etc. I have seemed to notice after three years of conjugate you learn a good balance of ME, DE , RE, and GPP.

That 75% "deload" mindset compared to it being 90% was a huge eye opener for me.

Thanks for clarification "shitty deloads". I have followed Wendler for years and I generally follow his deload schedule for the main lifts. Accessories are different for me. Also deload is a period to do high reps and one or two completely different lifts. I can speak for me only - I look forward to the deload - that is where my growth and healing occur.

I’ve set PRs in meets that were a week apart. If you have the steam then go for it. Get those numbers on the books. Granted I’m not an elite lifter but for me it’s a huge confidence booster. I wouldn’t want to waste that momentum.

You don’t have to deload when your not pushing that much weight, but when you start pushing a ass of weight raw you have to deload to let the CNS recover

Dave, I've been following you for 15 years and your comment about preparing for the starting line is borderline profound. You identify good mornings as an advanced lift that ought not be done unless you're prepared for the "starting line." I agree but can't say I abided by that advice personally. I'd like to hear your thoughts on the bookends of a career as a competitive powerlifter. The preparation to start is largely overlooked and so is the programming for life as a "regular person who likes to lift a little heavy but has to stay lean because of the heart disease in his family." I think if you fleshed out your positions on both those populations you'd hit on some really interesting points which would be very useful for a lot of folks.

At my first meet I pulled ten lifts. Tenth was an extra deadlift attempt. I was so broken down I did that. Nothing for a week or two. I have no coach or training partner. It destroyed me. Clueless people like me do that.

Just watched this post again after a few moths when i first watched it. I just finally heard what you said about getting ready to BEGIN... the conditioning aspect. I am doing 12 weeks of conditioning in preparation for the actual peaking cycle that will take me into the nest meet 22 weeks from now. I get it why my coach is having me do the "boring' safety squat training, the way under my max deadlifting, and the sub sub max benching. We are preparing to go hard. Thanks.

Listen at 4:08 ...the only time I've hurt myself/ aggravated tendonitis is during a poor deload when you can't mentally take it seriously.

how is a reload slamming on the breaks. reload is slowing down so you won't fuck your central nervous system. You don't go from 100 to 10. It's three weeks heavy then 4 week light weight so you still training your muscules but making sure they are growing with out straining and injury

Compare it to any other sustained training cycle- there's no point in training 3 weeks at capacity then taking a week "off", even if it's just some 25% lower weight on the major lifts, because when you come back and try and hit those previous weights again it'll shock your system more than if you stayed consistent. Besides, if you're lifting to the point where after 3 weeks you need a week break or else you place yourself in danger of damage to your body you're doing something seriously wrong to begin with. They're not saying that deload is bad- they made that point multiple times- theyr'e saying doing it *incorrectly* is bad. Half of the problem stems from the mindset of newer athletes (I was guilty of this myself at first, and I have since worked past it): if they come in and see "DELOAD" written, they tend to assume it means an easy week, and take far more than the intended 20-25% off from normal capacity. If you're doing it right, it's not much different from mixing up your exercises on a periodic cycle like Dave was mentioning, but with the added benefit of allowing your body a small recovery period before trying to put up major numbers again.

iSwimmer I understand. like I love lifting. I want to be a powerlifter. my body can take so much. so with the reload its 60% with twenty sets. It's boring unless it's squats because you know leg day. I'm been used to hypertrophy. so with the deload it helps me repair my body even though it is a bitch thing. I hate the fact it's less because I'm not use it but I have seen my number go up with more rest.
