Nice, but I think 20 reps is more towards endurance+some size. I am now doing rippetoe program, but replace the 5 rep to at least 8 reps and max 12 reps. The set is still the same. Is it ok ? Example like this

Workout A
Squat 3x8xWt
Bench press 3x8xWt
DeadLift 1x8xWt
Chin up 2x5 BodyWt
Dip 2x8 BodyWt

Workout B
Squat 3x9xWt
Standing military press 3x8xWt
Pendlay Row 3x8xWt
Dip 2x8xBodyWt
Chin up 2x5xBodyWt

The reason I put Chin up and Dip in all my workout because I can finish the main exercise in about 30 minutes. So I add these 2 to become at least 45 minutes. And also every exercise I will increase my rep by 1 until it reach 12 and then add more weight and revert back to 8 rep. So the fastest development will be the squat. Because squat is done every workout. This is done to every major exercise except chin up. I dont have enough power to do more than 5 reps. Is this ok or got any other suggestion ?

woot, 20 squat routine. After this 20 squat, no energy to other other workout. I divided my squat into 3 set. 6-8 reps each set.

at first, it is quite hard to do squat. Now my squat poundage already increase to a bit more than my bodyweight I like it

what is 5 RM ? my squat now is 69kg with 7 reps for 3 set. Today going same 3 sets x 8 reps x 69kg (oly barbell + 120 lbs) btw i'm 62kg
