This week, on the podcast, we talk about deloading. Deloading is a technique that allows the body and central nervous system to recover from intense training. Deloading is key to avoiding burnout and encouraging long-term gains. We discuss the two types of deloads: reactive, based on how you feel, and proactive, built into training programs. Both methods help manage CNS fatigue and support recovery and should be a part of every fitness program. We go over how to structure deloads into a workout plan to maximize strength gains.

In this episode we discuss:

• The Science Behind Deloading
• Different Types of Deloading
• When to Incorporate It Into Your Workout Schedule
• Common Deloading Mistakes & How to Avoid Them
• Deload vs. Rest
• How to Plan a Deload Week for Maximum Gains
• Signs You Need to Deload
