Deload week aka week 5 aka the week you give your body a slight rest after pushing your weights to new highs and probably induced some soreness. A DELOAD week is meant to have your body work through the same movement patterns but with less volume and at a faster pace just to get the blood flowing, maybe break a small sweat, and give yourself more time for recovery.
That said, here is your rule of thumb for DELOAD week: use a weight that is 40-60% of the max weight you used on each exercise from week 4b(whatever weight multiplied by .4-.6) and complete each exercise for 2 sets of 20.
Have fun and enjoy the metaphorical break!
