Deload Week Calculator
Calculate deload training parameters by reducing volume and/or intensity from your current training loads.
Deload Weekly Sets

Deload Weekly Sets vs Current Weekly Sets
Planning a Deload Week
A deload is a planned reduction in training stress to allow recovery and supercompensation. It prevents overtraining and sets up the next training block.
Strategy
Deload Sets = Current Sets x (1 - Volume Reduction %)
Deload Weight = Current Weight x (1 - Intensity Reduction %)
Most coaches recommend reducing volume 30-50% while keeping intensity within 10-20% of normal. This maintains neuromuscular patterns while allowing systemic recovery.
Example Calculation
Currently doing 20 sets/week at 250 lbs, deloading with 40% volume cut and 20% intensity cut.
- 01Deload sets = 20 x (1 - 0.40) = 12 sets/week
- 02Deload weight = 250 x (1 - 0.20) = 200 lbs
- 03Total load reduction = 1 - (0.60 x 0.80) = 1 - 0.48 = 52% less total work
