messed up my schedule of 5x5 need some advice please

[migity]

I was an animal for the first six weeks of the 5x5. I steadily increased my weights over the first five weeks then switch to 3x3 and bumped up more weight. Then this past week which should have been the second week of 3x3 I had midterms and really got screwed up. SO i find myself 6 days away fvrom my last workout. should I get back to 3x3 for a week or start laoding again with 5x5? I assume that I should stick with 3x3 for another week and hope all the extra rest help me rather than hindered me. But I wanted to see what was sugested.

thanks,
migity

IMO, one week of 3x3 plus another week off should be sufficient for deloading. I suggest hitting the 5x5 scheme again.

Since I'm fat and lazy and shit, I say stick with the 3X3 until you stop progressing. Then go back to the 5X5....which sucks because it makes you much more tired than 3X3.
