    Default Adding SLDL & Leg work to a revised TM

    Hey everyone, I am currently running a revised TM, as follows:

    Tues:
    Squat 5x5
    Bench 5x5
    Paused Deadlifts: 3x4

    Thurs:
    Paused Squat: 3x4
    Overhead Press: 3x5
    Chin-Ups: 3x AMRAP

    Saturday:
    Squat 1x5
    Bench 1x3-5
    Deadlift 1x3-5

    I have two questions,
    1.) I cannot do Back Extensions because it hurts my knees, was wondering if I should add a few sets of SLDL to the end of Thursday's workout? If so, any set/rep ranges? Or perhaps another row would be in order?

    2.) I have been trying to add a little size to my legs, will the plan as written do this or should/could I put some Leg Press work (in the neighborhood of 3x12-15) in there somewhere?

    (I know I only said 2) 3. Is there anything I am missing? Or is it good as written? Thanks!

    Looks pretty good. Yes 5x5 will certainly get the quadzzz hyuuuge.

    As for SLDL I would use that as an alternative to the puased DL if you are itching to fold it into your program. Barbell rows or powercleans (not sure how old you are or your athletic ability) would also work for mid-week workout.
