To preface my response I'm going into this with a pessimistic view towards PHAT training.

I don't think you can't have your cake and eat it too. Meaning, you're either lifting for looks or lifting for numbers.

The only people who can successfully do both at the same time have awesome genetics.

I makes sense to have a day that you do some Olympic style lifts and go heavy, but to train the same body part 2-3 days later seems counter productive.

It also seems like wasted time to me to do 3 sets for a body part that's already warmed up.

E.x. If you do 3 sets of bench press then your chest is warmed up. Doing 3 sets on flys and then another 3 sets of incline presses is just doing 4 more warm up sets.

I think that after a muscle group is warmed up, just take it to failure if you're going to do another exercise.

I did PHAT a few years ago. Had great results, but I followed the template as it was originally written.

I don't think you should modify it. Just do it as written by Norton

Like on his routine could I replace some of his exercises with similar movements but keep the outline the same?

I was thinking about swapping:
DB Bench for Barbell Bench
Rack chins on hyper day for pullups
Rack chins on power day for either seated or T-bar rows
Cable row for hammer strength row
donkey calf for standing calf (my gym doesn't have a donkey calf machine)
Incline cable flyes for either incline db fly or pec deck

But keep the rest the same
