Yeah, lol, me too. When I said A-B-C I should have just said mon, wed, frid to make it clear what I meant.

Ok here is your original format:

Workout A
3x5 Squat (ATG) - 135 lbs
3x5 Bench Press - 225 lbs
1x5 Deadlift - 135 lbs
2x10 Dips - 25lbs
2x10 Chinups

Workout B
3x5 Squat (ATG) - 140 lbs
3x5 Standing military press - 95 lbs
3x5 Bent Rows - 135 lbs
2x10 Dips - 25 lbs
2x10 Chinups

You could do all sorts of things. There are no hard and fast rules. It depends on where you want deads to fall.

MY preference would be:

Monday
Squats
Bench
Pullups

Wednesday
Squats
OH Press
Deads

Friday
Squats
Bench
Rows

You would just do the same thing every week. Like I said before pullups are very valuable and really should be given better priority than what they are. Matter of fact them being listed under "accessory" really chaps my ass. Bicep curls are accessories. I'll never understand, for instance a 150 pound guy messing around with a 110 pound barbell when he can barely pull his own bodyweight. It's simply the "mythos" of the barbell and in PP Rip himself places pullups first in choice.

Everybody makes a big deal about rows as if they are the most important but pullups really should be a staple not an accessory. Personally I would just do the pullups/chinups twice a week and not bother with rows for a novice (at first). But I know most won't want to do that.

You could of course keep doing the pullups and rows on monday and friday but I'd recommend that you alternate priority so that one day would have you doing pullups first and the next rows first.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
