Because this workout split is more intense than usual, it may happen that your muscles feel exhausted and performance decreases due to lack of proper recovery.

If that is the case, implementing the de-loading concept may be ideal, as it would allow you to actively recover and get stronger overtime.

The concept is simple – Reduce intensity, stay away from failure and do speed reps.

Basically, do your working sets with 60-70% of the weight you’d normally use and rely on quicker, more explosive repetitions.

Again, this approach will not take you close to failure and will allow the muscles to recover, while still pushing through an effective amount of weight.

De-loading can be sustained for as long as 7 days, before you get back to training at peak intensity.
