Another good RP idea is for your flat bench every once in a while. Say you fail on rep three at 315 lbs. To RP this, you could do one rep every 20-30 seconds. Psychologically, doing a single rep is easy as shit, so if you wanted to hit a total of 3 more reps with that weight, just RP each rep to ensure you get it on your own...
Also, in a lot of ways this program resembles the DFHT I did many moons ago. Trust me when I say that on upper day #1, after you finish the JS Rows (5x5), you won't want to attempt much more..It drained the life out of me every time I got through them...They were also third on my list....SO

./// Shoulders/ Traps (emphasis on medial delts - Shrugs, High Pulls, Dumbell Cleans, Lateral Raises, Shoulder Horn, Face Pulls – pick 1-2 exercises for 4-6 sets total)
6./// Tricep Extension (skull crushers, French presses, JM Presses, rolling dumbbell extensions, Tate Presses, pushdowns – pick one exercise for 3x10-12)
7./// Biceps (1-2 exercises, 3-5 sets total)

For 6,7,8, just pick something that isn't very taxing like high pulls or db laterals instead of power shrugs and go from there. Only one exercise per will be plenty! When I tried to do 365 lbs worth of shrugs after JS Rows, I almost puked.
