Another Doug Hepburn Method thread

[Alwaysthinkin]

I wasn't sure where to pose these questions, but I figure if anyone has done or coached others to do the Doug Hepburn Method, it'd be the SSSCs!

I'm planning wayyyy ahead for february for a modified Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday routine and am intrigued by The Doug Hepburn Method A Program.

So, the thing that jumps out at me with this program is the simplicity. And I loves me some simple.

Concern 1: There seems to be a ton of volume on deadlifts. Recovery seems like it could be hard to achieve. Thoughts?
Concern 1A: There are no power (explosive/speed) lifts like cleans or snatches.
Idea: Replace 1 deadlift day with cleans? Does it ruin the program?

Concern 2: There seems to be zero conditioning allowed. And my conditioning is already sad. Can you put SOME kind of conditioning in here and not destroy the program? How have you seen it done? What would YOU do?

Concern 3: No chins, no pullups. I'm hesitant to remove these entirely. Again, have any of you been able to keep them included somehow without ruining the program?

Concern 4: I'm doubtful I could keep this program going for a full calendar year and still make progress. Have any of you done something like this for shorter periods of time (or longer) and how was your progress?
Concern 4A: How did you determine starting points for each lift? Percentage of your current 5x3 or 5x5? 1RM?

Concern 5: I'd imagine standing barbell press would be what Hepburn trained, not seated, so any issue replacing that one too or am I flat wrong on this?

Lastly, did anyone do anything special nutrition wise with this program?

Thanks everyone for reading/responding!
