Looking for some suggestions on a few substitutions for a push pull split that Paul Carter wrote about.
The program is listed below. I’m only seeking substitutions because Ill be working out at home and don’t have the equiptment right now to do the program exactly as written. I have a squat rack, and a bench that I can do leg extensions with, but I need to substitute the tbar row, lat pull down, straight arm pull down, triceps pushdown, and triceps extension with rope. Also wanted to add deadlifts, as they are my favorite, but wasn’t sure what day they would be best to do on.
