Deload weeks aren’t a step backward; they’re a key part of getting stronger.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what deload weeks actually are, why they matter, and how taking your foot off the gas on purpose can help you make better progress long-term. We’ll talk about how to know when your body needs a deload, why you’re not losing muscle or momentum, and how the Simply Strong app builds recovery into your training so you can stay consistent without burnout.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for taking it easier or worried that rest means losing progress, this episode will completely reframe how you think about recovery.
