Clarence is working through an 8-week strength plan, and every week on the calendar is a hard one. Here is the catch: hard work only turns into strength when the body gets a chance to absorb it. Stack too many heavy weeks in a row and progress stalls, then slips.
Your job: give Clarence one deload, a planned lighter week, and place it where the work can pay off.
Drag the deload chip onto a week, or tap a week. The dotted zone marks a sensible spot. Then hit Check to run the block.
Training does not make you stronger while you are doing it. The workout is the stress. The building happens after, when the body repairs and adapts.
String hard weeks together and fatigue stacks up faster than the body can rebuild. Progress flattens, then slips. That is not weakness, it is the bill coming due.
A deload is a planned lighter week that lets the body catch up and absorb the work. Placed after fatigue has built but before the slide, readiness comes back higher than it was. Coaches call that rebound supercompensation.
