So on the deload, if it is by design. How do I actually work it out. I do not recall seeing examples of deload in PPST. I did see an article from Andy Baker about it, and his was more like a deload in frecuency, rather than volume and intensity. So in all honesty, not sure how to perform a deload without having to get detrained in 1 week.
As an example my first week on phase 3 of TM, for the Squat, was: 235x5x5 vol day and Intensity was 300x3. Today I did 275x5x5 vol day and on Thursday expect to do 340x5x1.
I thought that after I am done I would start a new 9 week cycle as follows:
250x5x5 vol and with intensity 310x3, which was week #4 on the the current 9 weeks I am doing. In other words I would start on the 2nd cycle and end up hopefully doing after 9 weeks 350x5x1. This seemed like 6 weeks of doing something I already did with no PRs up until the last 3 weeks.
Looking for guidance in the deload and the transition to a new 9 weeks.
