Deload Week
Definition: A planned week of reduced training volume and/or intensity (typically 40-60% reduction) to allow your body to fully recover and prevent overtraining. Usually programmed every 4-8 weeks.
Why It Matters
Understanding deload week is essential for making real progress in your fitness journey. Without this knowledge, you risk spinning your wheels — training hard but not seeing the results you deserve.
Callio automatically tracks and applies deload week principles to your training program, so you don't need to be an exercise scientist to benefit from evidence-based programming.
