Great job listening to your body and dialing it in, definitely working for you broI schedule deloads every 12 weeks, which typically works out to about four times per year. I’ve noticed that once I reach the 10–12 week mark in a training cycle, my body starts to feel run down, sleep quality declines, and strength begins to plateau. Earlier in my training years, I didn’t incorporate deloads at all, and that eventually led to injury. Now, I view them as a necessary part of long-term progress and sustainability rather than a setback.
