Deload Week Protocol

A structured easy week that keeps the habit alive while letting fatigue drop. Deloads are not time off and they are not failure. They are how you keep a long training block from becoming a slow-motion stall.

Overview

This protocol turns a broad strength goal into a repeatable sequence. The point is not to add complexity; it is to make the behavior easy to run the same way every time, then let the consistency compound.

Expected benefit

Fatigue drops while movement quality stays sharp. The next hard week feels productive instead of forced, and training consistency survives the low-output week.

How to think about it

Run it as written for the first block, then adjust one variable at a time. The useful signal comes from repeating the same inputs long enough to see what actually changes.
