“I HATE DELOAD WEEK” 😡 That used to be my mindset also. Until, I figured out how much better my body felt AFTER a deload week. Now instead of dreading them, I look forward to them. Deload week gives my body a chance to rest and recover. They are necessary to build strength, and often I feel even stronger the week after a deload week. I love lifting heavy, don’t get me wrong. It can be boring during a light week, but try to remember that it will be all worth it the first week of your next block. I guess maturing in the gym, is letting your body rest when it needs it. And realizing you won’t lose all your gains from one week of lifting lighter, and resetting. 🤍 #powerlifting #powerlifter #deloadweek #squat #bench #deadlift #sbd #fitnessmotivation #gymmotivation #gymgirl #gymrat #recovery #workoutmotivation
