Enjoying some birthday powder skiing up at Snowbird and thoughts about my workout routine

Today's my birthday, and like almost every birthday since I was in graduate school, I went skiing.  Even though this season started early with storm that dumped over 4 feet in early November, the storms pretty much stopped since opening weekend.  BUT, last night Snowbird got about 5" of pretty decent snow.  Definitely not epic conditions, but it was by far the best day so far this season.  The hill was basically empty, even around lunch time, I made sets of crossed tracks in the powder on the left side of big emma ( ie one of the most crowded places on the hill ) .  What a great birthday gift from the snow Gods.

I'm considering changing my current workout schedule, which currently is 4 days a week, a ME and DE bench session, and a ME squat/dead session and a DE box squat session.  I think with the skiing, I can't squat 2 times a week.  And I also think that skiing is just as good for explosiveness with squats than doing DE squats.  Also, I don't think my squats suffer from the lack of explosiveness like I have with benching.   Even with my long legs I feel that I'm a fairly fast squatter.  Also, lately I feel like I hardly ever pull, I only do a max effort deadlift session once every 4 weeks.  The other thing driving this is that I really want to be able to try some strongman training.  Russ at Ripped Fitness said I can join him and its something that I'd really like to try, but I don't want to overtrain.  Anyway, so I'm thinking of going to a 3 day split.  I've considered just getting rid of my DE squat day, but I still fell like I'm not pulling enough.   I was thinking that powerlifting is 3 lifts, and I'm considering a 3 day a week workout, why not focus on one lift per session, hitting each one once a week.  I can let my body determine if it's a DE or ME session, which probably means I won't be doing a DE bench session, which I'm willing to try to see how it goes, I can always go back to what I'm currently doing.   But it means I'll pull every week, which I think I need right now.   Anyway, lots of rambling, but I think it's decided.   My routine's going to be like this

Saturday, ME bench

Monday, squats DE or ME depending on how I feel

Thrusday, deadlifting DE or ME depending on how I feel

I think this means that maybe wednesday I can try some strongman training with Russ as Ripped or the AFSTRONGMAN people ( he emailed me back, they train on wednesdays )
