#202: Developing Your Deload Strategy

3D Muscle Journey

Jeff, Brad, and Alberto have an in-depth conversation about deloading. They discuss the benefits of deloading and go through different ways you can set up your next deload.

How do the coaches like to deload? What are some of the different ways they'll have their athletes deload? What do the coaches recommend not doing during a deload? How can you make a deload not feel like a deload? What have the coaches observed when someone goes through an extended period of time (multiple months) doing significantly less volume than they previously were?

The answers to these questions, plus many more are covered in this episode.
