Today was the first #run of this #deload week. Took the chance to train during #lunch break with this #EasyRun and enjoyed the #sun.

๐Ÿฅฆ Nutrition in Training Phases ๐Ÿฅฆ

These points matter because muscle growth is not driven by training alone, itโ€™s driven by how well nutrition supports each phase of training.

๐Ÿฅฏ Carbs Scale With Volume

๐Ÿซ€ Deloads Are About Recovery, Not Restriction

๐Ÿ‘ Training Through Plateaus ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Each of these plateau-busting strategies is essential, not just to get past the stall, but to evolve as a lifter

๐Ÿ”€ Change the Stimulus (Volume, Intensity, Frequency)

โฌ‡๏ธ Deload to Rebuild

๐Ÿฉผ Focus on Weak Points and Accessory Work

โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน Prioritize Recovery and Nutrition

๐Ÿ“‰ Deload Weeks: Recovery for Continued Hypertrophy

A deload week is a planned short period, usually lasting 5 to 7 days where you reduce the intensity, volume, or frequency of your workouts to give your body time to recover.

Adjusting Diet Based on Progress โœ๏ธ๐ŸŽ

Without periodic adjustments, excessive calories may lead to unnecessary fat gain, while too few calories can hinder muscle growth.

๐Ÿ‹๏ธ Track Body Composition, Not Just Weight

๐Ÿ“Š Adjust Caloric Intake Gradually

๐Ÿ”€ Modify Macronutrient Ratios

Being forced to #deload is humbling and frustrating.

#weightlifting

Back in the #gym game since a few days now and #training is going good again after #deload ๐Ÿ™‚

Today was #pullday so you see me doing weighted #pullup 88kg(that's me) + 10kg Vest. Luckily I'm not that tall so I can still get full strength in my #basementgym

Like always doing the eccentric part slowly and controlled... At least as slow as possible under that load ๐Ÿ˜…

#bodybuilding #backday #gohard #fitness #exercice #workout #pullups #homegym

I'm not dead... Just make #deload

What does this mean for me?:

- reduce frequency! 2 rest days after each #gym session
- reduce volume! I only do like 4 sets for a muscle at each #training
- reduce intensity! I only do a maximum of 80% of the weight I would normally do.
- NO CAFFEINE AT ALL! Resetting #caffeine sensitivity.

Why am I doing it?
To prevent #overtraining and keep up performance in the long run.

However mentally this is much harder for me than going to the gym every day ๐Ÿ˜
