So what do you suggest just stop completly for 2 weeks or deload or just go once a week and do a complete session 2 sets @70% of everything?

I would say that full 2 week deloads are reserved for the extremes: Meaning either you're drastically overtrained OR you're slinging A LOT of weight, thus having a deload being critical for CNS recovery as well as bone and joint health.
I've suggested this a lot to plenty of people here. If you're lifting so-so weights, and have even average recovery, you can load longer than a lot of the program descriptions out there. The advanced version of Bill Starr's 5x5 being one of the exceptions (3-4 weeks loading max).
