Note the decrease in rep range,
the decrease in the number of
sets you are doing, and the
increase in rest time. This
is the easy phase where your
body plays catch-up with recovery.
Don't back off on intensity,
however. Keep pushing all your
exercises to muscular failure!
Keep on this phase until your results start to slow down then ramp up again with weeks 1, 2, and 3. This training strategy delivers consistent results, taking advantage of your body's natural physiological response to increased demand.
