I am approaching the point where I dont think I can recover from the dead-lift every workout and am taking two or three training sessions to add weight to the bar, and am looking for the appropriate substitute for the B workout. I realize I could probably eat more to facilitate that recovery for the dead-lift, but I really feel like I have a good weekly caloric level and dont want to mess with it too much. As stated in the article, and everywhere else in SSLP literature, the power-clean is not suitable for the trainee of my vintage, or size. The chin-up is sadly, still impossible with a 315lb body-weight to overcome. The barbell row has such a small range of motion due to the belly, I believe it is also a poor option at this time.
I am considering pull-downs with a chin-up grip, but the machine has 15lb jumps, so I'm not sure I'll be able to sustain strength gains very long. In any case, there is VERY little published guidance from SS in this area.
