    Bad day/week during program - what now

    When you have a day when you can't hit your prescribed weight or reps when following a program, what do you do? Repeat the week? What about for that day - hit your reps or hit your weight?

    Depends on the structure of the program and why you had a bad day.

    Without knowing any more, just go ahead and take a deload week. A good program will know when a "bad" day is going to occur and have a deload scheduled around that time frame.

    Top sets are all RPE based, back offs are based off daily ERM so good or bad days are all accounted and autoregulated for.

    Lower stress weeks are scheduled to avoid to much fatigue build up, can always add one in, move it up if fatigue builds faster than expected

    I haven't missed yet but I'm guessing it's just a matter of time. Mainly my wife, who does a crossfit workout in conjunction with our PL program. We both know that the duel workouts are the cause of fatigued lifting but for her the crossfit takes priority.

    She accepts that it hurts her PL progress so was just curious which should we prioritize - the prescribed weight or reps?
