hey everyone, i was wondering whether it would be okay to tweak the starting strength workout slightly to fit my goals. currently, im aiming for a mix of strength, speed and power, and im thinking of slightly changing the rep ranges for the third day of the week of starting strength to be more of a dynamic workout. so heres how it’ll look like
Workout A
Squat 3 sets 5
Bench 3 sets 5
Deadlift 1 set of 5
Workout B
Squat 3 sets 5
Press 3 sets 5
Power Cleans 5 sets 3
So on a regular week, it will still be the same, mon wed fri, workouts A B and A alternating.
but what i wanna tweak is the rep range for the last day of the week. it’ll look something like this
Last day of the week (workout A for e.g)
Squats as per usual
Bench 6 sets 3 (50 percent 1 RM)
Deadlifts 6 sets 3 (50 percent 1 RM)
(all reps to be executed explosively)
basically everything is left the same except for the last day of the week, i wanna just change the rep range abit. and i’ll be doing more of prowler pushes, sprints, plyometrics and battling ropes for cardio on tues and thurs, for half hr max.
would this be okay for my goals at the moment? or would the rep range just screw my progress up? any advice would be greatly appreciated!
