Good idea.
I've had a one month deload.

I've had a one month deload.I was sick for a week, then family came into town (which means I drank too much for a week), then I went out of town on vacation, and now I feel like a damn slug. I've wiped out weeks of progress, I think. It sucks. I feel like shit.

At this point you will probably start making faster gains in squat and DL, while your Bench might be harder to move on up. Congrats on getting the big plates up though, that is a huge first step!
I say pile a bit more weight on your squat next time if you are in a power rack. Your tendons and ligaments have had plenty of time to thicken up and I bet you can jump 10lbs per week for a few weeks. Just eat a lot and warm up proper.
