      Is doing power and hypertrophy on the same day counterprodutive?
      for ex. power bent over rows with everything else hypertrophy

      Back and Shoulders
      Bent over rows 3x5
      Weighted Pullups 2x6-10
      Chin Ups 2x6-10 reps
      Seated cable row 3x8-12
      Dumbbell rows 2x8-12
      Shrugs (barbell)/Dumbell 2x8-12
      Close grip pulldowns 2x8-12
      Standing barbell press 3x6-12
      Seated dumbbell presses 3x8-12
      Upright rows 2x8-12
      Side Superset front lateral raises with dumbbells 2x8-12

      would it defeat the purpose? (bulk btw)

      As long as the weights are increasing over time then you're all set. As for being counter-productive; if you feel a significant drop in performance for 'hypertrophy work', then yes. Try it and see how you feel.

      I think Layne says (and I agree with) that he prefers to have all power movements on one/two days because he can go into the workout with a different mindset.

      power / hypertrophy on same day

      Alright thanks. I finished my first cycle of PHAT which is where i got this idea from. I would be doing the same thing with the chest and arms/ lower body days but for the first 3 days of the week, then the last 3 days of the week do the compound movements at hypertrophy range, ex: bent over row 3x5 on monday, then 3x8 on thrusday. Do you think this is fine?

      So you'd be running PHAT with power/hypertrophy days and then hypertrophy days? Looks good to me just make sure you're getting enough rest and food.

      ...Why convolute it to the extreme?

      Just run PHAT, a proven program with very similar goals.

      I kind of agree with this, at least on your Power/Hyper days cut the volume of the hypertrophy IMO.

      In that case I'd run a PULL/PUSH/LEGS. Add a heavy movement to every other workout or so. I'm not a fan of Layne's initial set-up. I do Upper/Lower/Rest / Pull/push/legs /rest
