Putting this out there more as info and food for thought, while interested in hearing what others think and experience as well. But taking the risk of saying something that sounds stupid, so here goes anyway 
Every blast session, I have been able to do a little less. First blast, did tier 3 workouts. Second blast, didn't go above Tier 2. Next few blasts only got to 5 weeks. Current blast, started to cruise after 4 weeks (felt beat up after 3 weeks and pushed one more).
Honestly, I'm considering on the next blast to stay at Tier 1 all the way and just see how many weeks I make it (not going past 6). Just push like a m'fer through it. In essence, try to pound myself into the ground with just Tier 1.
My personal thought is this. Even though I feel like I push as hard as I can every workout, the reality is that I've progressively pushed harder each blast session. Slowly getting used to the program more and more each time. Plus the obvious fact that my weights are increasing, so pushing "harder" in that sense.
The back information: I am regularly gaining strength. (Yes, Scott, my squats and hack squats are still going up!) Eating on schedule. Not totally on point in that I have definitely been having dessert at night regularly (working on not doing that anymore). We do a "whatever we want" family meal on Saturday night. Then I take a Skipload approach to Sunday. Getting stronger, gaining some fat.
