I do it every four weeks. You have to make time for recovery if you want to push forward.
How often do you deload?

I forgot to tap the "U" button. Don't try to get out of pocket while being above five bars in the crimson.
If I fail to keep good form for 2 of the last reps of the final set

So even after stretching for 10 minutes my lower back still tightens up doing squats even with light weights. Does this mean it's time to deload? How long should it last? And could I still run?

Make sure your form is correct on the squats. A deload should be a full week, and you can run too.
Once every 2 months, for a few weeks. I'm actually experimenting with average weight, instead of heavy weight right now....

I be winkin' through the scope
when i plateau big time or a couple sessions in a row just dont feel right
Aint you the dude who posted heavy squat vids? I saw your form, probably cuz you're doing a good morning type movement to lock out the rep. I have the same problem when I squat heavy and I feel it in my back too then. Gotta keep your chest up through the whole lift. Helps to have a tight grip also, squeezing shoulder blades together.

I think you're absolutely right. I'm going to chill on the heavy stuff for a month or so and then ease back into it at a lower weight and work on my form.

Wendler 5/3/1 is why I deload ever four weeks too.
