It sucks, but accept the occasional shitty day rather than injure yourself. The mature thing is to just move past it, and take any learning away with you for the future. I feel your pain though.

Most cookie cutter programs would say skip that lift and finish out your workout.
Autoregulated training would tell you, go back down to a weight you can do for a triple or whatever your working reps are for that lift on that day and finish out your sets and workout.
I like the latter method.

@gr8whitetrukker I just call it a day in those situations. Obviously my body is telling me something and rest is probably more beneficial than struggling through some RPE 10's and failed reps or going light.

Just as a general rule for everyone when using this type of prescribed rep scheme:
Give yourself a 10% leeway on poundage either - or + given the day.
I feel like some one ran my calves over with a truck. Its like DOMS contracted AIDS and thats what it feels like.
Im glad i called it a day when i did.
Totally in a hurt locker right now. Plus my forearms are bruised up from shoving it off me

I mean as much as I like deadlifting and all this is the manliest chit you can do pressing and holding that weight over your head, I really wonder now if he would follow it up with a log lift world record also?

Anybody have any reccomendations for a natty powerbuilding program (saying natty for recovery factor I can't do more then 4 days a week).
I wish I could help and return the favor like you have with me.

Push, pull, leg day. Three day split like that always worked good for me.
I find deads take the most toll on the cns for me. So feel free to move them to pull or leg day, or substitute them with some sort of clean.
Kinda basic and someone your experience level can probably put something more advanced together in minutes, but it's what I did for years before thinking about steroids and felt I always made good progress.

Upper/Lower/Upper/Lower
it could be set up a variety of ways. For Upper you could have 1 bench day 1 overhead press day. Or you could have one Bench power day (10-18 reps total) and one Hypertrophy Bench day (30-50 reps total). Id prefer the later. Id just keep core movements in the 10-25 total rep range (Squat,Bench Deadlift, Overhead and Rows) and do machine work in the 10-25 rep ranges for multiple sets. On all of the accessory work you could do Supersets, Circuits and drop sets.
On the compound movements i would just prescribe a 8RPE to those lifts and for the bodybuilding machine work just go balls to the wall.

Ya I was thinking about doing lower/upper lower/upper covers 4 days and I figure I can demolish my body with a bit more volume cause it would be M/T/T/F split too so always 48hours recovery between repeats. Just felt lazy and wanted a template that I could modify instead of just building it myself honestly. I figure if one lower doesn't back squats and cleans then the other lower does front squats and deadlifts then my first upper day of the week I'd do high rack pulls for that back thickness. That's the idear so far if anyone wants to add on

this isnt a terrible template i just found. you could definitely adjust it around a tad for your needs

Take this question to the steroids section would probably be one idear another would be stop taking them just cause and well two days won't have any AAS making you hurt option 3 is find the real issue on why your hurting too

Sometimes that forearm thing can be relieved a little by carrying a few rubber bands around and putting them around near the tips of your fingers and thumb and opening your hand against them for reps. It's like the opposite of gripping a barbell and something that pretty much never gets worked. I used to carry a few in my car and do it on the way to and from work. Worth a try.

Should I just go light for a week? I've never done that before. I know the pain is from lifting and not from the steroids.
