I've been following the PPL routine from the wiki. I always do the main exercise prescribed (deadlift, squat, press), but sometimes the equipment for the accessory exercises isn't available so I swap in something else. On pull day I might do seated cable rows, the next time dumbbell rows or t-bar rows. Same with pull-ups/lat pull downs. On push day, sometimes an incline bench isn't free so I'll just do dumbbell bench or dumbbell overhead press instead or decline pushups to failure. If I'm being consistent with the main exercise, will this hold me back? I guess it feels like I could be mastering one of the exercises and improving more than if I'm going back and forth between a few, but maybe the variety is good too.
For reference, I'm 5'10", 150lbs. I ran SS a few years ago for a good while and got up to 170lbs and improved my lifts a lot. I'm trying to get that strength back but with less fat and more upper body development.
