Within "The Complete Progressive Overload Blueprint Course 2026," what is the primary underlying principle that distinguishes "deload weeks" from standard recovery periods, particularly in the context of preventing overtraining and facilitating supercompensation?
Deload weeks involve a complete cessation of all physical activity to allow for maximum cellular repair and neural recalibration.
Deload weeks are primarily for practicing new techniques and improving form without the stress of heavy lifting.
Deload weeks are intentionally designed to reduce training volume and intensity significantly, allowing for a more profound physiological and neurological recovery, thereby enabling greater adaptation upon return to higher workloads.
Deload weeks are solely for active recovery, focusing on light cardio and stretching to increase blood flow.

According to "The Complete Progressive Overload Blueprint Course 2026," when implementing the "Double Progression" method for a compound lift like the squat, what is the critical threshold for increasing the weight, and what is the subsequent step to ensure continued adaptation?
Increase the weight once you have hit the *top* of your target rep range for all prescribed sets; the subsequent step is to continue lifting the new weight until you can hit the *bottom* of the original target rep range.
Increase the weight as soon as you feel stronger, regardless of rep count; the subsequent step is to immediately attempt a higher rep range.
Increase the weight once you can perform 2 reps more than your target rep range; the subsequent step is to maintain the new weight until the original target rep range is achieved.
Increase the weight after completing 2 consecutive workouts at the lower weight; the subsequent step is to aim for the same number of reps as the previous workout.

"The Complete Progressive Overload Blueprint Course 2026" emphasizes the importance of periodization. If a trainee is in a phase focused on maximal strength development (e.g., 1-5 rep range), which of the following training variables would be LEAST likely to be manipulated in a subsequent phase focused on hypertrophy (e.g., 8-12 rep range) to facilitate continued adaptation?
Training volume (sets x reps x weight)
Exercise selection (moving from complex multi-joint to isolation movements)
Intensity (percentage of 1RM)
Rest periods between sets
