    Any glaring issues with this?

    After a two year on and off hiatus from lower-body training due to various injuries caused by overtraining, I can finally front squat and deadlift comfortably enough. Back squats are still out of the question for now. The following is a loosely DUP-style program I intend to run for at least a couple of months.

    I think part of what caused me to get injured was a weak posterior chain relative to my quads, which caused me to compensate by loading my hip flexors. With that in mind, I'm focusing a little more on developing my posterior chain. I'm also decreasing my bench press volume as I've been in a several month long plateau, so I'm planning to focus more on overhead pressing in the meantime.

    Monday [Power]
    Front Squat -- 5x5 (linear progression)
    Bench Press -- 6x4 --> 5x5 --> 4x6 --> add weight, 6x4 --> ...
    Pull Ups
    Cable Rows
    Chest/Tri Accessories

    Wednesday [Hypertrophy]
    Overhead Press -- 4x6 --> 3x8 --> add weight, 4x6 --> ...
    Bent Over Rows 4x8
    Reverse Hypers
    Hamstring Curls
    Shoulder Accessories

    Friday [Strength]
    Deadlift 5x3 (linear progression)
    Front Squat 3x5 (same weight as Monday)
    Feet Up Bench Press (work up to 3 heavy doubles)
    Weighted Dips
    Dumbbell Rows
