Hell, one of the examples of a stuck lifter in the book is one that was too greedy for fast gains. Go to 5 lbs jumps sooner than you think you have to. Introduce a light squat day sooner than you think you have to. It's not a race to see who can run into a wall first.
You could probably take some more 10 lbs jumps on the deadlift to get it a bit further ahead of your squat before you reduce the frequency.
