What's the scheme for deloading using active recovery
I used to take a week (or less) off....but I think this time round I'd rather just go lighter...
Is that the basic premise? I can feel burn-out coming on as I approach week 5... so I'm curious about the idea'r behind active recovery.
Is it bascially a lighter percentage of your working weight?
Plus a higher volume of your routine for a week or so?
Anyone have a link explaining the concept or a good book or article to pick up the outlines this?....I searched around the site and found a lot of instances of the phrase coming up but nothing really on the concept or how to incorporate it into your routine.
Thanks for any help.
