Deload schmeload.

That's one of the reasons I don't care for planned deloads. Sometimes they are needed, but if you're in the mood to crush it, then crush it.

I am the same way... when I feel beat up, I attempt to take it easy.

Sometimes the iron just needs to be crushed.

I figure if I can lift heavy, I can't be that beat up

nice work mate... now thats a deload I like

Like the others have said I think deloads are a good idea if you need them, but not necessarily needed every 3 weeks or whatever. If you are feeling strong then lift heavy.

Good work fella

DYNAMIC EFFORT/DELOAD SQUAT/DL

Warm-ups
Lots of leg swinging
Deep heat across lower back and knees
BW squats

Squats
Bar x lots x 2
60kg's x 8
60kg's x 5
90kg's x 3
Add Green bands around 100kg's tension at the top I think (can't be bothered checking)
60kg's for 8 sets of 2 (alternating sets with Dave as quick as possible)

Sumo DL's
140kg's for 8 singles, 30 seconds rest between rep's

Ab's
Standing band crunches ss with leg raises
12 ss 20
20 ss 20
20 ss 20
All sets done with no rest between other than waiting for Dave to finish his rep's

Back was super stiff after a week of DIY, decorating and furniture construction so I wanted to keep things light and get some blood flowing into it and get ready to smash again next week. Will also be getting a massage this week to release the giant sized knot which has formed again causing the forearm pain to return. It's not bad now but if I can get it sorted before it becomes bad, that would be helpful

I have left the original audio on the video so that you can hear the banter that goes on during training, a bit of technique discussion around my shoulder positioning and the discussion about the guy in the corner behind me who has AWFUL personal hygiene

Thanks Steve. Concentrating on bar speed and trying to shorten my bar path on my sumo pulls. I think I'm getting there.
