I like it a lot man . Few questions though, still struggling to get unassisted chins so weighted chins are out, do I just drop those or sub in another movement? I lift in my garage gym so have no pull down apparatus. For the rows, do you recommend chest supported db rows or inverted fat man rows aka body weight rows? I would probably drop the dips too for same reasons. For the belt squats, am I doing 2x51x5+ format or higher rep range? For negatives on the chins, do I program those homework style or do I do them in workouts?

Sub in the racked chins I posted about earlier.

Either or both switching every other time. Key is track it like any other lift and add weight or reps Everytime.

Do weighted close grip pushups, close grip bench or reverse grip bench instead then.

You can use a higher rep ranges if you would like since it's legs they tend to respond to higher reps. So either 2x5;1x5+ or 2 by 5-12 but pick same reps for each then 1x failure with same weight. Or do a Widowmaker 20 rep set on last set. Play around with it and see what you like. Key is setting rep records and kicking the log books arse every time.

Homework. Once you can do one true chjn, do 10 a day. When you can do sets of 2 easily, do 20 etc etc.
