I've been deloading for last two years, and it works!

[MrOwenjames]

brain: deloads are good
ego: gotta lift that heavy ass weight if you wanna grow

[johnoakley]

Hi Picturefit. I just wanna say I really appreciate the fact that you don't use click bait titles. You could have very easily called this "OMG MAXIMISE GAINS BY DOING NOTHING". Keep it up mate

Every 8 weeks I take a week off from the gym. Every time, when I go back to the gym after the week off, I am significantly stronger. I figured this out back in high school (way back in the late 90s) weight training class when I was making VERY slow progress, then when I came back from spring break, I was suddenly lifting 10%-20% more in every lift.

I know I probably should do at least some light lifting during my deload week, but I have a hard time not pushing myself in the gym.

Listen to what he's saying guys. I deloaded after two cycles and my squat shot up 70lbs when I test my PR.
Many people are too stubborn to lower the weight and be humble for a week! #egolifting

[scorpionz]

back in high school i worked out about a month and took 2 weeks off, i kept coming back with huge results thinking i was a superhuman, deloading is defintely a great way to recover

[anabolicjesus]

GO HARD OR GO HOME 8HOUR FULL BODY WORKOUT EVERY MORNING WHATEVER IT TAKES!, right babe?

[jerbear]

haha did anyone else notice the calendar said "gainuary" at 2:46

[fredrikvonmatern]

This video was just what I needed.
I've been working way to hard and started to see my strength decrease. I think my problem was trying to max out on intensity and frequency, but unintentionally also doing a lot of volyme. (I blame the encouragement of my workout buddy). Starting next week I'll try a deload week before changing my program from a Push, pull, legs to 5x5 strength which decreases volyme and adds more rest days.

Thank you for this video!

I’ve been deloaded for years and see more gains on my belly

[justinborja]

Deloading was invented by people who want to steal your gains

[Briansgate]

Good info. I like deloading every 2-3 months, depending on how I feel. As I got older, I realized it really did help, especially in preventing injury more than anything else. Thanks for your hard work, picture drawing guy!

This video is gonna be abused so many times by lazy people

[itsvolts]

Thank for this. I’ve been training for 4 years doing powerlifting and I have never ever taking weeks off. I’ve have done technically weights reduced but never completely taking a week off. My powerlifting coach told me to take 1 week completely off and just do light walking and eat around 2k calories.
Not gonna lie kinda gave me that I’m going to lose my strength/gains feel.

Thank you for the Info!

[phantomhawk]

I just found this channel, and I must say one of very few on you tube with real and factual knowledge. THANK YOU

[oliverpogi]

i added a deloading day on my deadlift. 1 day PR day and 1 day deload day. i was able increase my lift and overcome my plateau. thanks a lot.

[sjkdec]

the tough part is distinguishing when you need to deload vs you just being lazy. point taken, though. thanks for the vid!
