A deload doesn’t mean stop training. I like to pull back the Max Effort work and reduce the heavy stress that’s been building throughout the block, but the work doesn’t stop. I like pushing the Olympic lifts during this time. Snatches and cleans let me work speed, timing, positions and technique without piling on more heavy strength work. no misses or chasing Prs just solid work. The accessory days stay too. get blood moving, get a pump and leave feeling better than you came in. Less heavy stress. More quality work. Recover without getting soft.

Mindset is everything. I know we hear that alot but being able to adapt and adjust on the fly is imperative. Whether its injuries or bad days where things arent going the way you planned you have to be able to adjust. In this video I failed that weight twice before hitting the complex. One minor adjustment made a big difference. It does help to be hard headed when it comes to strength training but at the same time, knowing when to attack and when to adjust is a balance we all have to learn. Sometimes getting stronger means pushing harder and then sometimes it means being smart enough to change what you’re doing.

SPEED KILLS!
In sports, I’ve never heard anyone say speed is a bad thing. Weightlifting and powerlifting are no different. When we lift a weight, the goal is to move the bar from point A to point B with as much speed and intent as possible while maintaining proper technique. The weight might not always move fast, especially when it’s maximal load but the intent to move it fast should always be there. Louie Simmons and Westside Barbell built a major part of their system around developing this through the Dynamic Effort Method and what they called “speed strength.” Speed also comes from confidence, and confidence is built through repetition. The more we practice moving with proper technique and aggressively, the more comfortable and confident we become doing it. That’s why Coastal Conjugate will always have a Dynamic Effort day. Tools like the OVR Performance unit help make speed more tangible. this allows my athletes and i to see real time data and adjust as needed.. either using more or less Weight to keep focus with the goal of the day.
