If you are looking for strength, I wouldn't incorperate any OVT in there. The slow tempo superset is only there for increased TUT which would aid in increased hypertrophy. That's why the main goal of OVT is for the primary compound to increase, not so much the secondary superset.

Rest/pausing is a very intense strength increase tech. If you are going to incorperate some RP's, I would slowly introduce them. For now, I would only input the RP's for the back width exercises (pulldowns/pullups), or your biceps/triceps. My pulling power really got powerful incorperating the RP's. I wouldn't try them anywhere else unless you stall out/plateau.

Try running the program exactly as written the first week and feel it out. You may feel a need to increase a set here, drop an exercise for another similiar one there, ect.. Here's the RP ranges IMO are good to go for strength goals:

-Back Width (pulldowns): Aim for 15-20 RP'd. Example: 8,5,3 or 10,6,3
-Biceps (Barbell Curls): 15-20 RP
-Triceps (Skullcrushers): 15-25 RP

If I was in your shoes, I would only incorperate the RP'ing for biceps the first week. RP's will leave you so sore that you may fold under the frequency. If your biceps can take it, add triceps..Maybe every once in a while add in pulldowns RP.
