Deloading isn’t quitting — it’s how you actually grow. In this episode, John and Luke break down the real signs you need a deload… long before your performance falls apart. From motivation dips to connective tissue issues to sleep and digestion red flags, they show you how to spot fatigue early and fix it fast.
You’ll learn: 🤝 How to know when you're truly fatigued, not just being “soft” 🧠 Why training performance is not the first thing to drop 💪 How to structure deloads based on the exact problem you’re solving 🦴 When connective tissue needs more than a light week 🔥 Why some athletes only need 3–4 days off… and others need a full reset 📉 How to avoid turning a deload into lost progress 🛠️ Why food, cardio, and PEDs usually don’t change during a deload
Whether you're deep in an offseason push or grinding through prep — this episode shows you how to recover the right way so you can keep progressing.
