the week prior to your meet week are you doing 6 sets of 4 with 90% and following that up with your final meet attempt.
it seems a bit tough Rob.

I thought about maybe doing rack pull and some walk outs and board work for 3rds

maybe try to find a peak program somewhere, I do not know a lot about peaking, but that looks like a lot of to intensive work the final three weeks.
