It does eric, and trust me if I can just keep going, and my strength keeps climbing I see no reason to stop, or slow down. What I was referring to was what I should do in case I hit a plateau, or I wake up after squating unable to walk the next day.

I know that some programs outline a deloading phase, I wanted to see if something similar would be applicable. I think when as I start to get closer to those goals periodization may become important.

thanks for the advice bro, it was definately helpful. And for the record what do you mean by this?

You can always change the loading increments on any exercise it you feel you can't keep loading a certain amount.
do you mean drop my increments from 5lbs a week, down to say 2.5lbs or something like that?

Also, I wanted to mention I've been throwing in wieght acclimation sets recently. For instance, monday had me jumping from 235 straight to 270. I felt that, mentally it was too much of a jump, so I threw in a set of 255x1 just to acclimate, and it made 270x5 so much easier ... I will prob do this from now on.

oh and ...

You can adjust another day to allow for more recovery. I.E. you can cut down the squats on wednesday. Or drop a set on MP's if you are doing those (you should be).
MP's?
