The term “deload” by basic definition is this: to take a break from extreme training. The proper time for someone to take a deload can vary from person to person. For example, some powerlifters do a lighter week every fourth week of training when in a meet cycle. For competitive powerlifters deloading is usually a one week affair.

The Critical Bench Program is a hybrid powerbuilding program that includes a lighter deload workout in week 5. Since the Critical Bench Program is a relatively extreme program with low reps and heavier weights we recommend varying your training routine for up to four weeks after completing the program before attempting to continue to make gains with the program.
