Hi! As the title says I just built a home gym (I will post pictures) and have a barbell, power rack, adjustable dumbbells, and an ez curl bar. I will be getting an SSB soon, but in the mean time I need alternatives for some exercises I originally picked. So, basically with my home gym it looks like I will have to pick some of the same movements for my different lifts. Is this ok in your templates? Specifically, hypertrophy ii and powerlifting ii.

Hi Snazzle, Congrats on the home gym. The Hypertrophy 2 template includes the exercise selection tab, so you can change those to best suit your equipment quite easily. On the Powerlifting 2 template, you’ll still be fine, although if you can get some mini bands for overload work, that would be a great addition for that template and your set up.
