ATG's are tough, but rewarding. Once you do them for awhile you can put up some pretty decent weight.

I agree - it sounds like you're right where you should be with your squats. Good form with the prescribed number of rest. I try to follow the idea that I should be able to do one more rep than the prescribed number of reps per set with the given weight. In your case, I'd be able to do 16, but not 17. If you don't think you can add weight, then maybe concentrating on good form through til then end of Break-In will help until you can get to your rest week.
I've posted about Hypertrophy I and low-carbs in my training log, but in brief, I think my A1 workout (upper body) went well. Of course as is typical in NROL, the B workout (lower body) is the harder one.
