Decondition or Deload

Downward Spiral

Recently I've been told that deloading is superior to deconditioning. Is there any discussion regarding this? What is the general consensus here?

Also, what happened to Jules? He disappeared some time ago.

Yeah, we had a good discussion about this a month ago - jester's thread - 12 months of hst

The conclusion was that deloading would be sufficient you did 5's and negs, and the deloading period was light 15's or a higher rep range. It would also help you retain lean body mass better. The downside is the shorter cycle, and some lingering effect of RBE. Completely deconditioning works, so why mess with it?

Not sure, he hasn't posted around here since the summer.
