HLM while Losing Weight

[dl31685]

Andy,

Currently I am at the tail end of my dieting phase. I am down to 208 lbs from 230 lbs. Wanting to finish at or under 200 lbs. I was running 531 but was unhappy with my training and progress. I purchased and read Practical Programming multiple times, watched tons of your videos and feel like I have a good grasp on where to go after my diet. I am planning on using a HLM training plan until I hit my target weight. What are your thoughts on training using a template similar to this?

Day 1:
Squat- 3x5 (heavy)
Bench- 3x5
Barbell Rows- 3x8

Day 2:
Squat- 2x5 (light)
Press- 3x5
Deadlift- 1x5

Day 3:
Squat- 3x5 (medium)
Incline- 3x5
Chins- 3 sets

I am not looking to set PRs and am programming low. I am starting my heavy workouts around 65-70% of my max and adding 5 lbs either each week or every other week. The day before my Day 1 workout I am eating two meals that have quite a bit of carbs in them to fuel that squat and bench workout.

Thanks for all your help!

Fine overall. May have to tinker with sets/reps as you go but overall structure is good basic HLM stuff
