Week 4: Deload week. You can follow this deload week or jump over to ENOUGH and use week 1 as your deload as you get a feel for the workouts
Power training targets your fast twitch muscle fibers and your nervous system in a way that pure strength training cannot. You are teaching your body to recruit more muscle fibers in less time and produce force on demand.
That is a completely different stimulus and it is making your strength training better. When you go back to heavier loads after this your body will be faster, more efficient, and stronger because of these three weeks.
The intent to move fast never leaves, even when the load gets heavier. You might feel yourself slow slightly on that last rep and that is okay at peak week loads. What we are not doing is grinding. If it stops looking explosive it is too heavy, back it off.
