| I disagree, Im not totally sure what u mean by "deloading", but Mentzer did state as the intensity increased the need for recovery also increased. Therefore include randomly inserted extra rest days and periodical dropping of a set from a workout.
Mentzer also designed a consolidation workout for those with poor recovery or those at a very advanced level.
Mentzer also suggested the periodical usage of forced reps, static holds, negatives, rest-pause, omni-contraction to increase intensity. Trainees do have somewhere to go after 4-6 weeks!
I use Mentzers methods exclusively- 3-5 sets per workout every 4-5 days. |
