I think it's a perfectly fine idea. It's not the spelled out way to do SS which is once you hit a plateau you do a back off on that exercise to try and get it going which may result in a little more progress before another plateau and then you have to change up things.

But I really think it's about longterm progression rather that the fastest possible progression. And another thing is I hate the idea of cutting back deads to once every two weeks (with PC's in between or something) if you are still progressing on deads. I hate making deads the bad guy on things and if you're lighter squat day falls on dead day that in itself makes a huge difference. Later on in your career you will probably seldom do heavy deads AND squats on the same day.

So yeah, if you feel like you need a day to work on form and some recovery then go for it. I'm all for it and if you are still loading the bar twice a week that's still really good progression. If one of your goals is to practice form then you could do a couple sets at moderately higher reps at a weight that didn't represent a maximal effort at that rep range. This would give you more "practice" then low rep sets with more rest. As long as the weight is plenty light enough so that every rep can be done with perfect form. This is just my opinion but when it comes to form I think a little higher density works better. It's up to you though...either way is fine.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
