    Default 4 workouts per week SS-like program

    The gym (cheap, good, with low amount of trainees) near me works only four days a week at Mon, Tue, Thu and Fri. Should I find new gym where I can work with SS program or is there 4 days per week SS-like program?

    You may consider an upper/lower split ran in a linear fashion.

    Why not Push/Pull? Is it more complicated?

    It's just meaningless. Muscles don't push.

    Tuesday:
    Squats 3x5
    Rows (2 or 3)x8 [possibly a more meaningful pull like SGDL or SLDL would be better; PC is also viable in 5x3]

    Thursday:
    Press 3x5
    Bench 2x8

    Friday:
    Squats 3x5
    Deadlift 1x5
    I didn't feel like writing it out, but this is exactly what I was referring to.
