As an alternative to Starting Strength, can I get some feedback on the below?:
Day 1
OHP - 5x5
Squat variation - 5x5
Inverted Rows - 4xf
Day 2 & Day 4
Grip training
Core training
Prowler/Sled
Day 3
DL or Clean - 5x3
Bench Press - 5x5
Day 5
Squat variation - 5x5
OHP - 5x5
Shrugs
all of the above with the goal of increasing each lift 5lbs per session
[...]
The reason I'm asking for an alternative to SS is I have shitty recovery on the squats. I've tried to run the cycle twice now, and even with a huge caloric surplus and ample rest/recovery methods, the squats made me whole body feel like shit for days after. I was hoping something like this would be a suitable substitute. I welcome all thoughts and comments as I want to start a log ASAP!
