same applies to a deload week to let your CNS relax so to say. You really have to deload, max set is 60% of one rep max and accessories should follow as well. However, I find if I swap out a deload that cuts intensity to one that cuts volume I see success the next phase in strength gains. So instead of 3x5 at low weight I do 10 sets of 1 at 90% of max. Allows me to really check form and mental state at a higher weight safely and without fatigue in a set.
