Burnout

Today was to be my ME Bench Day. But when I was working up to a 5 RM on the close grip bench press, I just didn't have it. 205 for a 5 rm was my goal: I hit a 210 max just over a month ago but even 115 felt heavy and slow. I walked out kinda bummed but reminded myself that I had just come off a very demanding bench session just a week before and a week of 12 sets of 2 in a lot of movements. After just over 20 weeks of lifting heavy stuff, I think it's time to deload. I still have a front squat goal I want to hit, too. What to do?
