I'm a bit more 'auto-regulated' with it. If I wake up and feel like I've been hit by a lorry, I'll take a couple of easy days. But if the numbers are still going up, I keep pushing.
That's the 'prep brain' talking, London! In the off-season, we have to be smarter. Even if I feel good, I take that 5th or 6th week a bit lighter just to stay ahead of the curve.
One last tip for Jersey: take videos of your top sets. Sometimes you think you're overloading, but your range of motion is getting shorter as the weight gets heavier. The camera doesn't lie.
So true. Half-rep squats don't build full-sized quads. Keep the depth consistent and the progress will be real.
Good luck with the off-season, man. Slow and steady wins the race in this game.
