531 twice a week

I have been running the triumvirate 531 program 4 days per week and was thoroughly enjoying it. I recently started a full time job and no longer have time to train 4 days per week, so I am trying to consolidate it into 2 days per week. My main focus is strength so I am happy to drop a lot of the accessories I was doing as part of the triumvirate routine. However I still would like to include upper body hypertrophy, so I was thinking of keeping chinups and pushups in there while somehow consolidating the routine. Any ideas? Has Wendler himself written any programs for this?

Why not just run it like normal and squat and bench with accessories one week and the next week do deadlift and ohp?

No particular reason other than thinking that I need to do each lift once per week. If once every 2 weeks is fine then this is probably the easiest solution. I am interested in what others think of this in particular if Wendler has talked about doing the program over 2 weeks before?

The Rest Pause challenge is two days a week and might be a great option for you!
