Default My Plan: Your Ideas and Input

i'm currently doing Mark Rippetoe's 3x5 Beginner Program...

i think most of u know that i unfortunately lacked a true goal... yes, "lacked"... i have one now... Strength... i'm gonna take an intelligent man's advice (0311 ;)) and focus on strength as a beginner...

but, from what i've read and heard, no one can focus only on strength.. what i've seen people do is switch between strenght and hypertrophy rouitnes... sometimes, these routines go along on a parallel basis...

its probably because of that that this was made in the DFT 5x5 (post be 0311):

Quote:
Mesocycle 1:........................5x5 Loading
Mesocycle 2: Microcycle 1:.....5x5 Deload Week
Mesocycle 2: Microcycles 2-5:.5x5 Intensity Weeks
Microcycle 1 (separate):.........Deloading - 1 week
Mesocycle 3: Microcycles 1-3:.DFHT Loading
Mesocycle 3: Micocycle 4:.......DFHT Deloading
Microcycle 2 (separate):..........Specialty work - 2 weeks
Repeat
in that case, would it be ok if i do this:

Weeks 1-3:.......Mark Rippetoe's Program
Weeks 4-5:.......DFHT / DFST
Weeks 5-7:.......Mark Rippetoe's Program
Weeks 8-9:.......DFHT / DFST

how does this sound...? that way i get hypertrophy + strength in one cycle... and i dont get bored.... and i can do plyometrics with DFHT or DFST....

please give your ideas and input..

thanks
