Exercise selection questions Strength& Conditioning

Training Q&A [Moderated]

I just received the download of Strength and Conditioning and I’m excited to start. The program seems right up my alley and seems like a good fit for me. The downside is I’m Excel challenged and have spent all weekend just figuring out things, lol…

Anyways, just a few quick questions, for GPP work I’m struggling to decide between one arm db rows, inverted rows, or chest supported db rows for upper back. I like Inverted rows but 9-10 reps wouldcbe a 10 RPE set for me…

I’ll be doing one arm rows in place of Hip thrusts and RDL’s to begin with.

Secondly, for arm work on GPP days, can close grip pushups, bench dips, or any other triceps compound movement be used on lieu of triceps extensions?

Can I run close grip bench press straight through the 9 weeks in place of 2 count bench press?

Thanks

Kguzda,

For the GPP work- it doesn’t matter. I would just pick an exercise you can do with the prescribed rep and RPE ranges. Looks like you answered your own question here :slight_smile:

I probably wouldn’t do pushups, bench dips, etc. over triceps isolation work unless you don’t have access to dumbbells or cable machines for the triceps work.

You can run close grip bench straight through if you want, but I would recommend doing the program as written the first time through.
