Oh man, what a sweet post.
I thought you should put it in the training as a sticky.

Dude, I cant rep you again yet but if I could Id hit you a few times.
Great post almost one of the best I have ever seen.
Well it is the best training one I ever saw.
Man, this surely will get ripped off and travel the net

Its a good thing if it does.

Question?
Do you deload if you are still gaining?

The reason I ask this is I had a shoulder injury and had to baby it for 2 years.
I dropped bar bench and went to dumbells.
Had to go very light and work up very slowly by just adding a couple of reps a week.
Now after about 4-5 months I am still gaining each week but maybe just a rep or two but still gaining.
Should I delod before I get to the top?
Or should I just keep going (as I am still getting stronger) till I plateau?

And would just one week be enough for deload?
Or should I take that week off altogether?
