Thats the exact set up i did last fall that worked really well. But can I do speed work on upper body days? I feel like that set up doesn’t suit my lower body as well because i can handle 2x per week lower body. At least I could back when my poundage was 100 pounds lighter.
As for the body weight gain… Yes that was my original intent. I absolutely need to gain weight, I haven’t gained much bw at all. Its why i asked if:
bodyweight gains lead to strength gains even with 1-5 rep range workouts.
OR
hypertrophy style training leads to larger muscles and increased maximal strength when transitioned.
