Looking for a little help with my 10/20/lift cycle So I’m coming up on my last week of offseason training cycle. Test week, how should I approach it? Keep the 4 day split (squat test and accessories, bench test and accessories, dead test and accessories, fluff and buff)
Or should I treat it like a traditional test day that mimics a comp, 9 attempts in one day?

I don’t think there is a right answer to your question. If you’re simply testing so that you can continue on into a meet prep, or even more offseason, I say you cut the accessories and just test the lift on the day you have it scheduled. You shouldn’t be hitting a true max, just a small PR, or something in the ballpark. If you do chose to do it like a meet and take the whole week to deload into it, that is fine too. It won’t do any harm, or good.

The off-season test is more a gauge of progress than it is a true test situation, because you’re not in a meet. No need to peak for an off season test.
