Struggling with program hopping

Yeah I think it’s mostly this, because I was doing well for most of this year, but I’ve kind of fallen apart the last few months since starting back in school. So a better question might have been “how to train when you have a lot of stuff going on”. My work and school schedule can vary widely, which doesn’t always gel with what’s written on the spreadsheet.

I like this and had good success with it during that CITP run (you can tell that’s been on my mind since I linked it in that other thread today). Any insight on how to reconcile this advice with programs that are very rigid in terms of “do 5x5@80% today” or “you must add 5lb/1 rep to the last time you did this lift or its a failure”? Perhaps a sign that I am not picking an appropriate program for my situation/goals?
