so with the way things are going, i am seeing some problems here...

Workout A: doing bench presses today puts them as #1 emphasis versus militaries - when it should be the opposite. but doing militaries here after deadlifts will make me pretty weak for miliatires. so, once i reach a stage where the current program is giving me problems to progress, i will add militaries here before deads, do a few intense military press sets prior to deadlifts, then do all my deadlift work - however many sets i like and once i finish that i will shift to some military press RE work for a few sets. then i will do bulgarian squats and facepulls.

Workout B: doing militaries before squats is alright for now when my squat isnt so strong. but in a few weeks i do not want my militaries to tire me for squats and/or vice versa. so militaries will shift to monday. and squats will be put first followed by uni rdls followed by bench work followed by GHRs.

Workout C: will remain as it is for now.

the other possibility is to re-arrange exercises in such a way that;

Workout A:
Military Press
Deadlifts
Military Press RE work
Facepulls

Workout B:
Squats
Bench Press
Close Grip Bench Press
Glute Ham Raiss

Workout C:
Pull-ups
Rows
Bulgarian Squats
Unilateral RDLs

i will see what happens with time. for now, the best simplest option to take which involves changing very little to the program is option #1 so i will probably choose that...in a few weeks.

Not to knock your program, just wondering why you like to emphasize military press so much?

you're not knocking my program at all, sir

here's what most powerlifters do: they train the military press to improve the bench press. and they train the squat more (in the sense - more emphasis is given to the squat) in the hopes that it will have sufficient carry over onto the deadlift.

strongmen train differently. they have to focus on overhead strength and lifting stuff off the floor.

my training goals are more strongman oriented. i want to be able to over head press and deadlift a tonne. so i give greater emphasis to the press and the deadlift. for me, the bench press and squat are tools which i can use to improve the press and the deadlift. so if progression on the squat and bench press slows, i wont sweat it much. however, i will begin to wonder if my deadlift and press progress comes to a halt.

So you're going for a more useful strength then. I see I see. Well you're doing well. Keep it up.
