I did full body routine every day with 5-6 exercises with 2 sets each, using less load. I don’t go to failure (I do in normal routine).
Recognising you need a deload is a skill you have to learn by experience. I am happy that I can judge it quite easily. My joints were getting sore and my back was sore most of the week. I could have gotten more PRs this week but I knew it was not worth it.
Nice! By “off” do you mean not lifting or reducing the load?
I’ve learned many lessons where I told my coach I don’t need a deload only to discover a week later how awful I feel and very much do need a deload.
