Goals have nothing to do with load monitoring. I'll discuss goals as long as you want but not in this thread where it doesn't apply. Load monitoring is about ensuring you are coping and adapting to the load imposed by the program and has nothing to do with energy system prioritization. It can and should, however, inform inevitably required adjustments to any generic load, progression, recovery week frequency, etc.
