(That’s only 75 lbs, folks.)
The weightlifting program I’m on actually includes programmed laziness. Okay, so they call it deload week, but everything I had ever been taught prior to starting this program makes me want to call it lazy. Basically, every 4 cycles (which are a week each, usually), you have a cycle of lifting about half of your normal weights.
It’s a good theory, actually. You take that week to heal up your joints, remind yourself of good form and technique, and generally relax a little from the previous three weeks of pushing yourself hard on every workout. All of these things make sense, but it just… doesn’t feel like working out. I’m not even sweating when I leave the weight room.
Still, I think this program works, so I’m not gonna call it lazy. Just weird.
