Hey, do you still have some problems with your arm? The same injury happened to me a year ago and I'm still struggling with the effects. I also miss a few degrees in the supination. But very motivating to watch your videos.
do you usually cut two weeks in half for your deloads like that? i always have trouble going through a full week of deloading (whether i cut back volume and intensity or just volume) just out of boredom but feel like that for may help a little bit
No it just kinda worked out that way. My "week" is actually Friday through Wednesday rather than Monday through Saturday, so it still comes out to a full week long deload.
Taking out a "heavy" set prior to your work sets. This has the effect of keeping you trained and practiced at handling heavier loads when in a lower intensity / higher volume phase of training. It also makes your work sets feel way easier. I find this especially helpful when doing speed work. Going up for a quick heavy set makes those speed sets move a lot faster. I call it an "over-warm up" when it's not a limit set. So I'm not going up and hitting a max effort single, double, or triple. Just something "heavyish" to stay in practice since I'm not going real heavy at the moment.

Hi Andy what do you think of this complex set for strenght = 1 heavy excentric + 1 to 3 deadstart speed concentric rep,

What's an over warm up?

Why do sloppy rows when you can eat some sloppy Joe’s?
Hard to refute that logic. Thank you for your thoughts.
