I have been doing some reading and some of the research I have come across says that you start to 'detrain' after approximately 48hours- the more complex the movement and the more skilled the lifter- the faster the detraining. This seems to support the Sheiko template, where frequently lifting, in particular squatting (which I take to be 'demanding' from a neural muscular perspective), builds proficiency and efficiency. So, this makes me wonder about the last week of 32 or all comp cycles I have seen. I have an upcoming comp on sunday. I squatted friday, then don't squat again till thursday (or wed if the comp had been saturday). In Sheiko terms, 6 days between squats is a long time. I know from a recovery perspective it makes sense- but in terms of detraining it seems long. The lowered loads would also play a role in detraining as well I think, as the motor patterns change under different loads. Am I just over-thinking this?
It just seems that there could be another squat session- perhaps even as an SPP.

Funny you should bring this up, I was wondering the exact same thing. I actually felt better during my skills evaluation week than I did after the deload and max test. I felt like I had too much time with low volume and almost felt "flat" if that makes sense. However, I've been dropping weight at the same time, so that could account for some of it . I'd love to hear other thoughts on this.
