Hi,

I am running the Hypertophy Template and had a question as to whether it would hurt my progress if I added alternative exercises in on the GPP days. For example Dumbbell press? Is there a reason for focusing only on upper back movements on these days?

Thanks

I’d have you stick with the template as written since there is Arm work included after each lifting session (3 days).
