I need to get my repetitions for push-ups and pull-ups up for the military but I'd also like to increase my strength on the Bench, Squat, and Deadlift. I came up with the idea that I'd warm up to a heavy single for a barbell movement and continue to grease the groove pushing or pulling for the rest of the day. For example, after a couple of warm-up sets, I'd perform a single rep of Bench Press at 90-95% of my 1 rep max. I'd grease the groove push-ups for the rest of the day. The next day I'd perform a heavy Deadlift single and continue to pull throughout the rest of the day with pull-ups. Back and forth like so with an occasional rest day if I get too fatigued. If I can handle it, I'm also interested in Squatting a heavy single every day following the Bench or Deadlift single.

I'm still a novice lifter. I got a bit creative with the routine, but if there is a more optimal plan for my goals here I'd love to hear it!
