Depends on your program/exercise prescription. Deload can happen after going heavy for a few weeks. You basically hit 50-70% of 1x or 3x rep max weight for 10-12x. reps. 

Deload shouldn’t be too easy- sometimes people think this.

You can even start Deload at the start of your new strength program….

Example progression:
Dec: Tempo training 6-8x reps
Jan: Heavy 5-8x reps
Feb: Heavy 3x max
March: Deload 10-12x (resetting into new cycle or quarter)

Hope this helps!

How do you aporoach deloads?
How do you know you need to deload or is it just a part of your overall planning? 

And how much do you decrease load, with decreased volume, reps, sets?

Thank you- they are always tough. You got this though 💪🏾

man, that sounds intense! deload days still pack a punch. for me, keeping form on those last reps was a struggle. keep crushing it, bro! 💪
