one: i would have 3 weeks of "loading" where i set new PRs - wether its a 5RM or a 3RM or whatever. basic purpose is to hit ANY PRs and virtually set a new 1RM without actually going under the bar for a 1RM because i am not that advanced enough. i probably am but unless i am 110% confident i wont.
There is no loading or deloading. It's conjugate. Perhaps every 8 weeks or so.

Quote:
two: i would have a low number of supplemental exercises in the first week. as the weeks progress (till week 3) i will add 1 set to each exercise
You're powerlifting, not bodybuilding. It's the same volume throughout because NOTHING supplemental is to failure.

Quote:
three: week 4 will be a deload week. to ensure i deserve this i will put my 110% out there to set adequate PRs on the chosen ME lifts
No deloading.

Quote:
four: for the deload week i will do what is there in the DFHT protocol. i dont remember it properly but i think it is slashing the volume in half with the same load for accessory lifts and the load for the me will be the same as in week 1.
See above.

Quote:
six: next cycle i will change all my me lift variations unless i am positively sure i can do more in the next 4 weeks. if i have done justice in the first 4 weeks i should not have the need to repeat any me lift.
You should be on any given ME for 2 weeks tops.

five: this is the first "cycle"
I would hesitate to recommend this to you because you're trying way to hard to apply loading/deloading/bodybuilder-specific shit in a powerlifting workout.

You'd be much better served with WS4BB. You can monkey-fuck that program to death and it won't be as bad.

Quote:
thats why i like this program over 5x5. i can even choose to go to failure on certain lifts if i want to. the flexibility is the beauty of the program and the ability to customize it over 5x5.
You don't need any flexability IMO. I can see where you're trying to take this modified conjugate system. Do WS4BB because you're going to overanalyze this program to death. Shit, I haven't deloaded and I'm on week 17 still blasting with the program I'm running.

I can already envision you sprinkling in some rest/pausing, widowmakers, unneccessary deloads, dumbbell flyes, ect. You KNOW you want to! We all do!
