Description

In this episode, I’m breaking down the concept of deload weeks—what they are, why they matter, and how they can actually help you get stronger. Spoiler: rest isn’t lazy, it’s part of the plan.

We’ll also talk about auto-regulation—fancy word, simple idea. It’s about learning to adjust your workouts based on how your body feels, instead of forcing it to fit into a rigid plan.

Because here’s the truth: sustainable training isn’t about going harder all the time, it’s about knowing when to pull back so you can keep moving forward.
