The purpose of the Strength Week is to give you more practice doing the key exercises (the more you do them, the better you get) and help you get stronger faster. Make every fourth training week on the program a “Strength Week.” That is, for every three weeks of “normal” workouts, you do one Strength Week. If you normally rest/deload every eight weeks but, for whatever reason, need to do it early—let’s say after six weeks of training—just start your next training cycle anew.
