Rest week and lifting...

This.

I'm doing 5/3/1 and doing the deload every 6 weeks. One whole week, lifting just 60% of what I normally would. Otherwise the routine stays the same.

I do a deload week as a "rest" week. Usually after 3 or 4 weeks I'll deload, then I can work back up. It's never right back at where I left off, but it isn't that far off (usually around 80% - 85% of max prior to deload). I find it helped me progress faster and better by doing deload weeks.

this.

but wendler has two approaches when coming back after some missed time. either just pick up where you left off, or take some time and ease into it by going at lighter weight. it's not worth risking injury.

if it's just a week, i think you'll be okay picking up right where you left off.

quick note: reducing the intensity of a workout doesn't necessarily mean reducing weight. i mean, maybe it does if you're on a specific program like 5/3/1 or whatever, but for me, if I was benching 275x10 before, when i come back i might do 275x8 or something along those lines. or maybe i have to cut out a set at the end. or maybe i increase my rest times. obv if the 275 feels too heavy then 245-255 might be the order of the day. it sort of depends on how you feel after you warmup. also depends on if i took the rest week because it was just a particular date on a calendar or because i felt draggy and really needed it.

there's more than one way to do this thing.
