Full Body + Chins Between Pressing

Bigger Stronger Leaner Jim Wendler 5/3/1 Coaching

Hi. I am using Full Body template (phase 1) by some time and just want to hear your suggestion about little assistance modification.

This is original template:

Monday
Squat - 5/3/1
DB Bench - 5 sets
DB Rows - 5 sets

Wednesday
Squat - 5 x 40%, 5 x 50%, 5 x 60%
Bench Press - 5/3/1
Chins

Friday
Squat - 5 x 40%, 5 x 50%, 5 x 60%
Press - 5/3/1
Deadlift - 5/3/1

And my modification:

Monday
Squat - 5/3/1
DB Bench - 5 sets + Chins
Kroc Row - 1 x max

Wednesday
Squat - 5 x 40%, 5 x 50%, 5 x 60%
Bench Press - 5/3/1 + Chins
Dips - total 100 reps

Friday
Squat - 5 x 40%, 5 x 50%, 5 x 60%
Press - 5/3/1 + Chins
Deadlift - 5/3/1

As you can see I change regular dumbbell rows to Kroc rows, and added chins between pressing exercises. Also I add bodyweight dips in second day, until I do 100 reps in 4 sets I want doing them without adding weight.

Is that fine?

How long have you done the original template? If you haven’t done it, why are you changing it?

There is an old lesson I learned that says, “When you ask the questions, you shouldn’t be giving answers.”
Until you have the confidence to do so, please do the program as written. And when the time comes that you no longer ask, you’ll know what to do

Well, you’re right. Anyway, thanks for answer.
