I'm doing a 4day split right now: Chest/Tri, Back/Bi, Legs, Should/Abs four days in a row. I feel as if its not doing as much for me as when I used to do full body workours 3 days a week. I want to switch to Starting Strenght ( the Practical Version):
Monday
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press / Press (Alternating)
Chin-ups: 3 sets to failure or add weight if completing more than 15 reps
Wednesday
3x5 Squat
3x5 Press / Bench Press (Alternating)
1x5 Deadlift
Friday
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press / Press (Alternating)
Pull-ups: 3 sets to failure or add weight if completing more than 15 reps
__________________________________________________ _________________-
I want to do this particularly because my deadlift sucks.
right now its Squat > Bench > Deadlift > OH Press. idk if I'm doing something wrong, I'm cautious about how much weight to my deads because I feel as if my form goes bad. I have a small upperbody, longer legs, if that makes a difference. For some reason when Im doing deads I feel as if something wrong as the bar almost hits my knees every rep.
Now I want to switch to this program but I only have access to the gym Mon - Thurs.
Help a brother out, any way to solve this?

The program you posted has Wednesday as a light squat day.
Run the original SS template.
If your deadlifts are not as great as you are claiming them to be, you should be able to get away with alternating them twice a week and with once a week.
Bench press and Press are alternated on regular SS template as well, so you aren't missing anything there.
EDIT:
This is your lift strength order: Squat > Bench > Deadlift > OH Press
This is how it should be, unless you are lifting in suits/wraps: Deadlift > Squat > Bench > Press
You might be squatting high...Im not sure how your bench is higher than your deadlift...When i first did a deadlift, my bench was significantly lower than my deadlift.
