I’ve been doing yoga for over 2 years multiple times pretty much every week and I restarted weightlifting for mostly hypertrophy dec 2023 after not having done it for 5 years. I’ve never put that much thought towards “deload weeks” where you take a full on break for a week in order to have your body recover a bit better. Are these a necessity or what are your thoughts towards it?
I play amateur league soccer and I’ve learned to use the off season as deload periods, otherwise I’ll get overuse injuries. I’l still try keep moving, but I’ll do lighter training or something other than my ordinary training schedule.
