Hi Dr. Feigenbaum & Dr. Baraki. Currently working through Powerlifting II and loving it. I plan on wrapping this up and running Powerbuilding II before returning to your strength templates ahead of a meet. I noticed that you don’t typically program good mornings in your templates, which I’ve historically had good results with. Would you think it’s ok to work lighter sets in for volume during GPP work, or should I just stick to the template as you’ve laid out? Full disclosure I’ve been adding in AMRAP work on my GHD with my upper back GPP for a little extra volume on the posterior chain, but wanted to get your thoughts on good mornings and your strength templates specifically. Cheers!
Dr. Jiggs,
I probably wouldn’t do good mornings on GPP days, no, but if you wanted to sub in GM’s for the 3rd lift on Day 4, that’s kosher. We also let folks pick good mornings for various lifts on the Strength III template.
