There is a reasonable amount of research indicating that frequent training has an advantage for strength training. The unfortunate thing is that most of this research is based from novice/intermediate athletes, rather than those trying to get above that level.
Powerlifting takes its toll on the body, lifting consistently heavy weights requires more than just time off for the muscles to recover, but some time for the joints/tendons to recover.
Which is why I am switching from my 3day bench setup to a more normal 2x per week.
The extra recovery will enable me to hit it hard and recover, rather than constantly bashing it and never feeling recovered.
I am also bringing back the squat/deadlift program, with its own heavy day.
This will start next week, and I am looking forward to the challenge.
