Man I havnt deloaded in 4 months, the week I did deload I was doing a demo job at work that was so taxing on the body I just couldnt workout that week, so I dont know if that counts as a deload.
Geting ready to buy a house and start moving this coming week, I could be out from working out for 2-3 weeks, pretty long deload im hoping to feel very replinished as I can tell from my lifts im in despirate need of one, anyone else ever deload this long?lift as hard as possible!

Im not entirely convinced on the De-load. Obviously nutrition plays a major role in any workout, and i think as long as you eat enough, over-training is a myth. Also you will encounter natural de-load periods. We all know motivation sometimes slips, causing workout intensity to fall anyway, meaning even if you feel you are going at 100%, your body is still getting a break.
Also it can depend on your job. Mine is quite physical, so sometimes i am already tired when i hit the gym. And i think variety in training is important. There are too many muscles in the body, and not enough time in the week to over-train any of them in particular. So if you encounter injuries and fatigue to certain muscle groups, it may be because you are neglecting others.
Just my opinion

Bring up a good point, I hadn't really been paying attention to de-load that much I guess. Thank you for the post

How long should you de-load for? Should it be 1 week or 2, or just 1 workout per muscle group?
I normally just take a weeks break from the gym but i am interested in using a de-load to see how it goes. Thanks for the tips.

While my style of training errs more on the working-hard side, I totaly agree with the De-load.
In fact I have always used to minimze my training during the med-summer.
Because I have been traininng the hardest in the winter and the summer is very hot and humid where I live. So i keep my workouts smart, short and effective.
I go back to the old-school hardcore style in the winter.
lift heavy, rest well

Dude, it's time for a deload
Take a weeks mini-break and do your regular workout but drop the weights by about 40%-50%. This should keep you going, but allow your body to rest-up a bit. Either that, or do what I do and do 3x full body workouts, using only machines, on Mon, Wed and Fri. This totally switches things up and still allows your body to recuperate - I did it 2 weeks ago and came back to my regular routine with the same, if not more, strength!

thanks for the good thread. personally, my motivation and drive are so intense that i often forget to give my mind and body a break from the normal punishment i put them through. when i get to a plateau, i've always tried to train through it- without productive results (injury). i understand that de-loading can be a useful and necessary technique for further progress.

I don't think it's considered "de-loading", but I absolutely must take a week off every 2 months or so. I notice decreased motivation and sometimes even decreases in strength if I don't take a break now and again.

75% of the time I'll deload in the gym. The other 25% I'll just take a week off, usually on vacation or something.
BRILLIANT. Made my day.

oh shi, i have all these symptoms!
You feel tired, persistently fatigued, have a decreased desire to train;
Your weight progression is stalling and you can't seem to increase most lifts
You train regularly
I do oly lifting and past few weeks I've had more bad days than successful days, im tossed while lifting, i dont have energy to do anything. all lifts have gone bad technique wise (except, squat and deadlifts and such, they are still the same).
I get sore throat all the time and feel bad.
I thought its cuz of my diet, i dont think i really hit my macros either. Maybe combo of these 2 affect my workout so badly :/
The problem is that i dont feel like i need to deload. My mind is like "im not tired, keep on pushing!" :P but i'll take a week off in a week i believe. i hope this will help!NB! If i accidentally neg you or forget to rep back, pm me :3
