A Common Mistake
An EXTREMELY common mistake made by lifters across the globe is this one:
Lifting is going well and lifts are going up—progress is fine. Then they have a few (sometime only one) bad workouts and think the sky is falling. Their solution? Change their routine—often to a totally different format. Why? Well, the routine quit working, anyone could tell that! Well, anyone would be wrong in a lot of cases. All that is happening a good percent of the time is the trainee is due for a deload, or cruise. As long as you haven’t been hammering the same exact format for an extended period of time, (as in same lifts, not rotation on lifts, same sets and reps) what you likely need is a week or two of deloading, not an entire new routine.

So what exactly does one do when they deload? Do less sets or reps?
And how often should this be done?
