This post focuses on deloads, &#8220;off weeks,&#8221; and how to schedule your rest. Because magazines have limited space (and I like to write too much), sometimes my\u00a0responses\u00a0need to be condensed. These are my unedited answers to those questions. If you want to potentially be featured in the magazine tweet at me and ask a question using the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?f=realtime&amp;q=%23Bornfit&amp;src=typd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hashtag #BornFit<\/a>. -AB<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>How often do you suggest a rest or deload week if regularly lifting?<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We grow when we lift. We grow when we recover. But when you\u2019re not lifting, sometimes it feels like you\u2019re not growing at all. This is the dilemma you face, and why so many people just can\u2019t figure out when to back off. That\u2019s why deloads exist: you don\u2019t have to stop training completely, but the lighter week helps you reduce plateaus and injuries without freaking out over missing the gym.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tweetable\"><p>The higher your training age (more advanced lifters) the more frequent you need to deload.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A deload can work in many ways. You can try adjusting any of the following variables:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sets:<\/strong> Do fewer sets per exercise, so instead of 3 sets per exercise do 2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reps:<\/strong> Do less reps at the same weight; so instead of 10 reps do 6 per exercise <em>at the same weight<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weight<\/strong>: Use about 60% of the weight, but maintain same reps and sets.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike what some might suggest, there\u2019s no golden rule. Your needs can be broken down into three primary categories: recovery, your style of training, how many years you\u2019ve been part of the iron game. Use this simple approach to schedule your training sessions and you\u2019ll keep growing and improving year-round.<\/p>\n<h2>Designing Off Weeks\u00a0From Training<\/h2>\n<p>The main question was about lifting heavy, but we don\u2019t all crush huge weights, and this factor plays a big role in how much rest you need. When recovering from a recent hamstring tear, I set a goal of doing rack deadlifts with 500 pounds. That was my point of recovery and pulling from the floor. But that type of load meant I was doing a deload once every 3 to weeks. The results? Just 14 weeks post injury I hit 500 pounds.<\/p>\n<p>My journey needed more rest because of the heavy weight and higher training frequency. Bodybuilding-style workouts (like splitting up into chest, back, and leg day) that have higher volume can require <em>less<\/em> of a need for deloads.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because the lower frequency (per muscle group) and load (less overall weight) doesn\u2019t result in as much stress on your joints, assuming that you\u2019re doing the exercises correctly. The heavier you go and the harder you hit it, the more you need to quit it. (At least for the occasional week.)<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using heavy weights (think 3-6 rep maxes) on a daily basis, here\u2019s a sample deload.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Week 1:<\/strong> Don\u2019t take any sets to failure. Push towards technical failure but leave a rep or 2 in the tank.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Week 2:<\/strong> Push to technical failure (form and tempo still perfect), but not muscular failure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Week 3:<\/strong> Deload, backing off one of the variables listed above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Week 4:<\/strong> Push towards a PR and failure on last set. Then repeat the process the following week. Weights should keep going up.<\/p>\n<h2>Assess your Recovery<\/h2>\n<p>You want to train your best every day. But sometimes, your body just won\u2019t \u201cpeak\u201d no matter how many preworkouts you pump into your body. Apps like BioForce HRV do a great job of telling you how hard you should be pushing during your workout, or you can do it the old school way.<\/p>\n<h3>Old School Recovery Assessment<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Take your resting heart rate every morning for a week and determine your average <em>before<\/em> starting a new program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Start testing your heart rate after your program begins. Measure for one week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> If you\u2019re resting heart rate is jumping up, typically by 10 beats per minute or more, you need more recovery (take off an additional 1 to 2 days) or schedule a deload using the plan above..<\/p>\n<h2>Pro Tip:\u00a0Consider Your Training Age<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re a beginner stop worrying about overtraining. Because the total weight you can use in training is less, the likelihood of needing an entire week for a deload is reduced. Instead, simply focus on\u00a0training 3 to 4 day per week, pushing yourself as hard as you can. Having 3 or 4 days of rest will be more than enough for recovery, even though your muscle will probably feel very sore.<\/p>\n<p>The higher your training age (more advanced lifters) the more frequent you need to deload.<\/p>\n<p>New lifters can sometimes go 12 weeks (or more) without needing a deload. But if you\u2019ve been lifting for more than 5 years, it\u2019s wise to schedule a deload every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how you feel.<\/p>\n<h2>Want Help Creating Your Workouts (and Diet)?<\/h2>\n<p>Now you can work with a Born Fitness coach\u00a0<em>risk-free<\/em>.
