Here is how I always trained for situations similar to this. Find another meet date, then count back in weeks from the new meet to the present week. Back off on the percents and start from there.

For instance.....I have peaked on the squat at 600 for a meet this weekend and it gets cancelled. I have a new one that is 3 weeks away and I have been going up 20 lbs a week in the squat. Back off your squat to 540 or 550 and go from there.

I was pretty successful doing it this way and the slght change in intensity kept me from peaking out.
