Hey Jim I really like your Beyond 531 20 week program thats published on here at tnation. I was actually thinking about starting it next week. I know you hate when people butcher your programs but I just wanted to get your thoughts on couple questions before I started.

  1. Would it be ok to substitute box squats for back squats in the program? I just love box squatting and its much joint friendly for me personally.

  2. I looked through the program and saw the only leg work is through squatting and deadlifting. I was wondering would it be possible to add some direct hamstring and some single leg work in the program? perhaps 2-3 exercises on the second day?

Thanks for your help

You know, if you sent Jim back to ancient Sparta, he’d fit right in… :slight_smile:
