@Aspen_TSL Im guessing push, pull legs? And when you should deload is based on your body and how hard your going. Low intensity workouts you could go a year without deloading but moderate you could need one every few months. Up to how your body is feeling.
@Aspen_TSL Yea, muscles heal quickly but your joints and tendons heal much slower so usually every so often you still go to the gym just reduce it down to maybe 60% or 70% of your normal to give them a little time to heal. For me I do them every 4 or 5 weeks but I lift super heavy
