Westside DE instead of 5/3/1 deload week

[TheArabTree]

Good morning to all,

just throwing it out there, what do you guys think about substituting the deload week of 5/3/1 for a dynamic effort only week? would that be a good idea?

i want to see what y'all think of this.

thanks

A deload week is an active recovery week. It's not a speed week. That's not recovery work.

Speed work beats my ass to a pulp. Do the Deload the way it's intended.

Just an idea, if you are needing to do speed work, do it after the working sets on the lift you wanna do it on.

If you bench. Do 5/3/1 bench, an assistance bench movement, then do maybe 4-5 sets of dynamic bench.

Or, after 5/3/1 bench go straight to dynamic work.

Just a thought.
