a de-load is a week or two where you drop weights to 50-65% and don't go to failure on any set, the goal is to stimulate the muscles, but not break them down (since test is low and cortisol is high).

so by lifting heavy, would you be losing gains?
ive been reading alot of conflicting views on this subject
 
IMHO lifting heavy does lead to a loss of gains (if we're judging by muscle mass purely), I'd rather drop some strength on a lift than lose muscle.
 
yeah i hear ya. much rather hang on to my mass gains, but as the same time my bench has always been an embarrassment. feel like im finally pushing close to what i should be.

anyways, what would be ideal? dropping weight and volume?
 
I like to just go with less sets per bodypart, and do really high cardio type reps.....like 18-25 rep sets....at least for a few weeks or so in PCT. if you did 9 sets for biceps, then do 6....and if you were in the 6-12 rep range do 18-25....at least it works your muscle out w/o breaking it down much....
 
lower weights, and nothing to failure (so if its something you fail at 15 then take it to like 12

do you notice a significant loss of strength when you return to your normal routine?

not really, if you ease back into it during the post-PCT time leading up to whatever you do next. probably not advisable to jump back into the heavier stuff straightaway of course :D you just have to build the strength back up slowly, but you're body likes a break now and then so it should be beneficial in that regard too.

you think taking 25 reps or so to failure would be detrimental? even though its to failure, you figure it should not be so bad. I like to use these sets as the third set, say if you do 6-8 rep sets, then 8-12 rep sets then finish off with 18-25 rep sets....kind of a burnout deal, but if you did JUST these high rep sets only....you'd figure they would not amount to much as far as breaking down the muscle.
 
as long as its not "fighting the bar up and killing it failure" i think you should be ok... still a bit harder of a push than I do.
