I had to switch from Starting Strength to a 2-day-split because of recovery. The new routine is a push/pull split, done 4 times a week, which looks like this:
Sunday/Wednesday:
Squat 3x5
Bench Press 3x5
Shoulder Press 3x5
Dips 3x12
Abs 3xF (to failure)
Monday/Thursday:
Deadlift 1x5
Pullups 3x12
Pendlay Rows 3x5
Reverse Flyes 3x12
Curls 3x12
As you can see, the split does involve dips and pullups, both of which I can't do many reps. Right now, I'm using resistance bands to lift me up a bit, so I can get to ~12 reps per exercise, but I feel like progress is very slow.
Now my question would be, how can I progress faster on pullups/dips without influencing my strength routine in a negative way? As most programs to increase pullup/dip reps require 5 days per week, I'm not sure if that wouldn't mess up my other exercises.
(Additional information:
I'm 25 years old, 6' tall, ~160lbs, female, strength training for about 6 months.
My main goal is to get stronger and build some muscle.)
