You Need A Deload

Every time we train, we're putting our muscles under stress. This stress, in the right doses, leads to gains. ????
But continuous, unrelenting stress can lead to overtraining, risking injuries and plateaus.
Now, a deload is not about being lazy and skipping workouts.
It’s about strategically reducing your training volume or intensity for a short period.
Think of it as letting your body catch a breather, recover, and come back even stronger.
Studies have shown that planned deloads can optimise strength and muscle gains in the long run. Plus, they help to keep niggling injuries at bay and your motivation flying high.
So, next time you're feeling banged up or your progress has hit a brick wall, consider slotting in a deload week. Your muscles and joints will thank you for it. And trust me, you'll come back ready to smash those PBs! ????
Remember, it's not just about going hard; it's about training smart.
Now go and have the best day! ??
