Hm, the topic is 'Madcow INTERMEDIATE or Linear Progression'.

If you scroll down far enough it says it's not for beginning lifters. Don't make the common mistake of thinking you're 'hardcore' enough for an intermediate-advanced program.. I did exactly the same mistake and tried all sorts of superset/giantset whatever sh!t when I first started and wasted a year of lifting.

An intermediate program is for an intermediate lifter.. and that's NOT intermediate mentally but physically as well. Pay your dues first and then consider something like this.

There's a great 5x5-style program on stronglifts.com if you don't want to do the 3way split.

db or barbell static holds work great if you want to do those instead and double as forearm work. try 2 sets to failure (i.e. as long as you can hold them)

Does that pretty much do the same for you as the farmers walk?
