If you push yourself hard enough, a deload week is cool and good when programmed in.

you can even use similar weights to what you are using now, just cut reps.

And you can also just do the same reps, too! What a great deload week!

Lazy, half-arsed attempt imho.

Because the "normal" reference range includes 99 year old men. Ask not what is normal, but what is optimal. Just jab a needle in yourself already.

I know that, I'm nurse. My values are dead in the middle of the reference range. I just need to figure out how to lure a gymbro into my garage gym...

I use mine as programmed by Mike Israetel, where the weight drops back down to the week 1 weight, and you do half the reps and only two sets. Later sessions in the week drop off weight more as well.

Works great for me and a lot of other people.

how the gently caress would i be able to fall asleep if i didn't drive myself into the ground with physical exertion and have a constant sleep deficit pulling me into bed with its sexy tendrils.

Might as well keep training. What's your body going to accomplish in a day? That's barely enough time for the inflammation in your hosed up joints to start to think about going down.

nevermind the fact that powerlifters do that poo poo to bend the rules of their sport and there's no benefit to it at all for a normie

WRONG! rear end has to stay on the bench for the lift to count. You can get fat as gently caress and put a rolled up knee wrap under your shirt to reduce your range of motion but your rear end has to stay on the bench!!!

like that swole bob saget said, a slight arch is good, enough to slide your hand under you

anything more than that is just to limit range of motion for competitions

powerlifters have to keep their butt and shoulders on the bench


so they started arching their backs so the bar hit their chest earlier, thus heavy lifts became easier

thats literally where it comes from
