| Well Louie at WSB encourages his lifters to deload every 3 weeks. However, they're lifting insane (800lb+ squat) weights so they REALLY need it.
Don't you plan on cycling your AAS 5 weeks on, 3 weeks off? If so, I would load/deload around this. Do 5 weeks heavy loading, deload for 1-2 weeks and then use the extra time (final 1-2 weeks depending on how long the deload lasted) before the next cycle starts to get yourself used to the volume again, using submaximal weights (80% of what you use for the loading). Then repeat. |
