Why deloads do NOT increase muscle growth or strength

Chris and Paul debunk the idea that deloads increase muscle growth or strength. They explore the concept of muscle memory and its impact on gains, clarify misconceptions about deloading in strength training, discuss the effects of leaving space between workouts, explore progression methods and plateaus, and argue that deloads have minimal impact on solving plateaus. They also discuss the importance of sleep and protein for recovery and emphasize the importance of progressing slowly over time.
