I started starting strength and have been doing it for about 6 weeks, but I kind of wanted to modify it to alternate in front squats (which I assume is better than back squats for bjj) and ditch the deadlift for a combo of swings, pull ups and rows. Im a newbie to all of this so any suggestions would be cool. For now my workouts look something like this:
1A- Front Squats, OH Press, Rows (then some neck and core stuff) carries etc
2A-Back Squats, Bench Press, Swings, Pullups (some more neck and core stuff)

ill alternate weekly so M(1A), W(2A),F(1A),M(2A),W(1A),F(2A).And so on. Im doing 5x3 working sets and trying to add 5lbs every workout day. Im not trying to be the strongest guys on the mat, but I am trying to get a tad stronger and help prevent injury etc.

Is there anything Im lacking or perhaps should add in?

thanks!
