PB 1 Gen 2, testing across the week instead of 1 test day

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi team, on Week 10 of Powerbuilding 1 Gen 2 and loving it - hit 2 all-time PBs already and looking forward to the next couple of weeks.

Looking ahead to Week 11 (test/meet week), I’d like to test my maxes on Squat/Bench/Deadlift, but my schedule probably won’t allow me to test all 3 on one day and I’d rather spread them across 3 different days (I know this isn’t as specific to Powerlifting but I’m not planning to compete anyway).

Could I do something like:

Monday:
Squat max (from Day 3)
Bench 1@93%, 2x2@84% (as programmed Day 1)
Deadlift 1@84% (as programmed Day 1)

Tuesday: Rest

Wednesday:
Max Bench (from Day 3)
Squat 3x3@75% (as programmed Day 2)

Thursday: Rest

Friday:
Max Deadlift (as programmed Day 3)
Squat 1@90%, 2x2@80% (from Day 1)
Bench 3x2@80% (from Day 2)

Total work is the same, just moving things around according to my schedule and to avoid too much fatigue before a heavy lift day. Would this work? If not, what might be the best way to arrange this week with 1 (maybe 2) max lifts per training day?

Thanks in advance!

If you’re going to do it this way, I would only do the max work from day 3, but none of the other programming. In other words, I’d plan on doing your max squat on Day 1, max bench day 2, and max deadlift on Day 3, but skip the percentage work. Should be fine!

Okay sounds like a plan. Thanks Jordan!
