Strength 3 Template question

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

I’m going to be starting strength 3 today and I have a few questions going into it.

I’m going to be training Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday with a GPP day on Saturday.
I’ve been flirting with the idea of adding adductor work to my training for general injury prevention purposes. Would you recommend against it? If not, what day should I put it on?

As we’re heading into cold and flu season, what’s the best strategy to not derail the program if I happen to get sick for a week or so midway through?

Isaiah,

I don’t have a strong feeling for or against adductor work in this context. If you want to do it, that’s cool. Put those copenhagens in between empty bar warm up sets of your squats and deadlifts.

Regarding your second question, I’d plan on training the best you can if you’re ill, provided you’re not contagious and/or aren’t putting others at risk. If you do have to take a week off, I’d restart that week and let RPE be your guide for loading. No real secrets here, my man!
