I've never deloaded before (and have been lifting for about 2 years), and just this week I noticed that my bench wasn't as good as it was the week before. Next week I am planning on starting Kris Gethin's 12-Week Trainer. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to deload for the rest of this week to prepare for the upcoming program and to allow my body some recovery. Any opinions?

YES. I'm a deload supporter. I'm doing mine this entire week right now actually. Every few months take a whole week and either take it completely off or more preferably do all of your routine at 50-60% of your usual lifts. It's nice to have a week without lifting heavy (even though you miss it when you're lifting at half).
Started lifting Summer of 2009
Main current Goal - Two 45's on each side of the bar for benching 4x6.
Currently - One 45, one 10, one 5, one 2.5
