Some help with 5/3/1 please page

Well, it's more of a case of me just being fussy etc but I'm heading into Cycle 3 of this program (at the end of my deload of Cycle 2). However, I want to try and get in two cycles before Christmas - messy I know but I'll be taking a week off from the 25th Dec so I'll be skipping the deload between Cycle 3 and Cycle 4 (bear in mind that I don't normally do this etc). So tomorrow and Saturday seem to be a little bit more work than normal - squatting and deadlifting on consecutive days - yes/no? Is there a better way to lay out the below and fit it all in before the 25th? Weekdays I can really only do 1 lift as I'm in work.

Um, apologies about the layout of it below - if anyone can figure out how to present it better feel free to tell me!

Is there a particular reason you're trying to get through the cycles before christmas - just so that you have a natural break during your week off? If the quality of your lifting is going to suffer in the lead up to christmas it's going to be a bit counterproductive.

I guess the only advice is to see how it goes. And with regard to a better way to organise the cycles it again depends on you. Just keep an eye on the quality and results and make your decisions based on this.

I wouldn't DL and squat on consecutive days. There are many ways to program this. Combine MP/DL and skip a day before BP/SQ. I did this because I can only get to the gym twice a week. Now I just do Wendler's 6-week cycle with no deload. It's not a huge deal to cut out an assistance exercise if you are pressed for time. Just make sure you hit the big four.

You could post a reply on Wendler's 5/3/1 discussion over a TNation. For his newest article he is replying himself, or the original article you would get replies from other experienced 5/3/1ers.
