I am approaching the end of the novice LP, gaining 10lbs a week on squat. Monday and Friday pr-ing, with Wednesday squatting light (example days) I deadlift on the light squat day. At this point, my training is no longer day to day, but starting to take a weekly arc.
Now that the rains have come, training has been kind of haphazard, missing days frequently, shifting my schedule to tues, thurs, sun, etc. Sometimes getting 3-4 days off on the programmed 2-day rest. Recovery is not an issue.
These weird blocks of time stall my progress and I am wondering how to manage this.
(current lifts if ya need em)
340x5 sq
425x5 dead
160x5 ohp
240x5 bench
