The conversation covers topics such as supervised vs. unsupervised training, controlling for queuing and feedback, muscular adaptations in supervised training, stretch-mediated hypertrophy, lengthened partial reps, drop sets vs. traditional sets, and deloads. The discussion also includes practical considerations for drop sets and the design and findings of a study on deloading. The conversation explores the impact of deloads on motivation and the differences between planned and reactive deloads. The evolution of deloads in powerlifting and the individual variability in deload frequency are discussed. The role of fatigue and tiredness in training is examined, as well as the importance of tailoring deloads to individual preferences. The pendulum swing in training intensity and the culture of failure in powerlifting are explored.
