So I have been doing SS for a month and am wondering if I should switch to SL. Which is simply SS with rows instead of power cleans and chin-ups removed, right?
I don't like power cleans. They are very hard to progress, and don't do much other than helping with the deadlift. And chin-ups don't work my lats as much as I would like them to, while rows do. I know my biceps might get somewhat neglected, but I can simply add curls to the days I do rows. So why not? SL seems more useful, overall.
Kot is always related.

look man. Everyone can follow a program step by step at the beginning but now that you figured out for yourself what works for you and what not you can adjust however you want but keep the core of the program the same.
Just incorporate whatever you can find into it and how it fits yourself best.
Thats how true lifting is done - listen to your body. Know yourself.
Not by reading and following a program step by step like an autist.

That's probably what I will do; SL+curls. I am just asking if people will simply recommed something else, and if chin-ups are really vital, and if there is a way to incorporate them into SL.

Just add chin ups to the end of your workouts. There really isn't no mistery.

Do SL with weighted chins 5x5 on deadlift day
Chins work lats more then rows. Rows work more upper back. Its still important to do rows (to balance out horizontal pushing aka bench)

Wouldn't that overtrain my lats? I would be working them for like 3 times a week.

No it's fine.
Most cases of over training are actually under resting
I do SS with Chin ups on deadlift days and rows on power clean days.
Also front squats on power clean days (done with relatively light weight after the power cleans)
It's worked well for me so far and also I do curls like once a week Bc I can

I do Reg Parks, it's less powerlifting and more just hitting everything over and over

I think it would be pretty hard to recover properly if you trained a muscle group directly every day you worked out.

That one looks weird to me.
5x5 is too much volume for squats; I can progress easily with 3x5. 5x5 for dips looks absurd. And chins and curls on the same day looks like it would lead to overtraining too.

You're forgetting that it's not true 5x5 - the first two sets are supposed to be a warm up.
As for chins vs curls, I've always done pull ups instead of chin ups, don't have an issue with it.
I'm doing it for the second time (took a long time off lifting) but the first time I got my stats to
>100kg bench
>115kg squat
>130kg deadlift
>60kg OHP
which is a bit uneven but my diet was shitty. Made good progress - am making good progress again.

No

So you can squat every workout but it's impossible to train lats every workout? Explain how you're thinking.
>>35372198
I imagine I will just alternate chins and rows+curls.
>>35372057
No you fucking pleb
You train triceps every work day in SL. You have a rest day in between each work day. You won't overtrain ffs.
Stronglifts is
