Strain Score Deload Trigger
Strain score deload trigger calls for a lighter week when high strain stacks with suppressed recovery several days—not because one hard session spiked the daily number.
Strain score deload trigger fires when high daily strain stacks with suppressed recovery for several days—your wearable says you absorbed load faster than you adapted. On WHOOP-style scales, repeated strain above personal target while recovery stays yellow or red warrants a deload block: forty to sixty percent volume, no new max lifts, sleep extension.
Strain alone is not guilt; strain plus flat HRV and heavy legs is. Do not deload because one party night spiked strain—look at weekly pattern.
Common questions
-
What strain level requires a deload?
No universal number—compare strain to recovery trend and RPE. Deload when high strain and poor recovery repeat across a week, not after one green day with a big workout.
