A deload week is a planned week of reduced training volume or intensity that lets your body recover and prevents burnout. Most lifters benefit from one every 4 to 8 weeks, and it often leads to better progress afterward.
Why deload?
Hard training accumulates fatigue. A deload clears it so you come back fresher and stronger, and it lowers injury and burnout risk.
How to deload
- Reduce weight to about 50 to 70% of normal, or
- Cut your number of sets roughly in half, or
- Take a few extra rest days.
Keep moving, just easier. See how to recover faster.
When to deload
Every 4 to 8 weeks, or when you notice stalled progress, poor sleep, or lingering fatigue. See signs of overtraining.
Come back strong
After a deload, you are recovered and ready to push. PUROX helps you bring intensity back to the sessions that count.
