Texas Method for PL

[Nardaq]

Quick background, I'm running the TM for PL found in practical programming to get ready for my 1st powerlifting meet in July.

volume day - starting at 70% and working up 5lbs each week
Squat 5x5
bench 5x5
Clean and Jerk - x10

Recovery Day - 20% lighter then volume
Squat 3x5
OHP 3x5
Snatches

Intensity day - starting at 90% and working up 5lbs each week
Squat 5x1
Bench 5x1
Deadlift 3x1

My question is with recovery day puling. Currently I'll mess around with some snatches but I'm wondering if it would be acceptable to either sub in or add on chin ups. 3 max effort sets capped at 15 then weighted chins. Does subbing chins for snatches make sense? Or can I even ADD chins? Or is this to much to effectively recover for my intensity day? I've been going Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday so I only have 1 day off after recovery day and have 2 days off after intensity day. I'm asking because I've never run TM before and don't want to figure out in a few weeks it's effecting my training program. I need all the training I can for my PL meet.

Chins instead of snatches is fine
