Ok, you see where I was confused. When I said that you shouldn't sprinkle rest/pausing and stuff into another program, you replied:

That's ok. Now we've adjusted.. And are now good to go...

let me analyse what all i added in, ok?
1.) front squats changed to leg presses becasuse i cannot do front squats. i hate them.
2.) chin-ups went to lat pull down becasuse i know i will never give my all for chin-ups
3.) pull ups went to cable rows because i like these better and i cant do pull-ups.
4.) power cleans i wont do because of shoulder injuries. so i added in JS Rows.
my substituitions werent to Anuj the program. they were simply to make it more appropriate for me.

My posting was in reference to your 4 sets of 10 and rest/pausing arms. THOSE additions aren't bad. And I
know you!.. And know that if you're left unchecked, you'd end up with a widowmaker. J/K
BTW: Why can't you "give it your all" for chinups? Sounds to me like you should be focusing some work on your pulling power. You really cannot do sets of 5 reps with bodyweight pullups?
That's partially why I was saying 4x10 lat pulldowns are a waste for you in the first place. You should be focusing on heavier weight until the point to where you're able to do deadhang pullups. Sets of 10 just ain't gonna get her done. And pulling power DOES have a direct impact on your reversal power for the bench press, which would help you speed the bar past your sticking point(s).
Nothing wrong with doing some negative work for pullups either.
