I recently started following the PTTP program with deadlifts and bench press using a linear/step cycle (max 2 sessions at same weight). On this cycle I made good progress and set new PRs for both DL and bench. How many days is it recommended to take off before starting the next cycle without losing too much strength?
After the previous cycle (just before starting this one), I took off 4 days but that was because I felt that I had overtrained by doing too many sessions with heavy weights. This time I was more strict and avoided this type of overtraining.
