It allows me to slide in my off days to accommodate my schedule and/or recovery. When prepping for a meet, I lift 4x/week - heavy bench Sunday, squat Monday, light bench Wednesday, deadlift Thursday. I try to stick to that schedule because there’s a pretty dedicated group of guys at my gym who always bench Sunday and deadlift Thursday, and the timing works out really well for peaking, but it can be stressful sometime trying to adhere to specific days of the week like that. Miss one day, and it throws the whole thing off.
