A Baker's dozen

Lookin good Brother BB, I took 5 animal shaolin for about 10 years, When I quit and went into Muay Thai I had earned my Purple sash!!! Thats awesome your training in it, I particularly enjoyed the Shaolin boxing, or Diamond boxing I think it was the pattern anyway, LOL!!! That was YEARS ago!!!
Sorry to ramble, just meant to say Keep at it and Best Wishes!!!
 
So I am working on making my new program and this is my rough draft.

Day 1 (Heavy) week 1-3/ 4 x 5, week 4-6/ 3 x 3 RI full recovery

Core/ stabilization
Deadlifts (will rotate- each week what movement I do first- deads or squats)
Back squats
Bench press
DB Rows

The heavy day looks like a killer. Personally, I would have trouble squatting after deadlifts. Have you done this (meaning DL then squat) before?

Yes, but not for a long period of time. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make this day more manageable? Should I just rotate the big leg movements-deadlift one week and squat the next week?

That's one way of doing it. I don't mind doing both lifts on the same day. I just can't DL seriously and follow it with squats.

This may not fit in with your current projected rep scheme, but how about 3x3 for one of the lifts and 4x5 for the other? Alternate each week.
 
Yeah, thats not a bad idea. I could do that with the bench press and rows too. :thinking:
 
So I am working on making my new program and this is my rough draft.
I will be training with weights 3 every 7-8 days based on heavy, light, medium days (total body). I will be focusing on my strength on my heavy days, power and endurence on my light days, and hypertrophy on my medium days. I will do tia chi and or yoga before each session as well as on my days off. I am still working on my flexibility/ balance. I will do some steady state cardio and bike or stair sprints too to round out my conditioning. I plan to do this program for 6 weeks.

Day 1 (Heavy) week 1-3/ 4 x 5, week 4-6/ 3 x 3 RI full recovery

Core/ stabilization
1)Deadlifts (will rotate- each week what movement I do first- deads or squats)
2) Back squats
3) Bench press
4) DB Rows


doesn't look bad

Day 2 (Light) week 1-3/ 3 x 12 week 4-6/ 3 x 10 RI 60 sec, 45 sec
Lateral/ one foot hops as part of my warmup
Core/ stabilization

Circuit 1
1)a) DB snatch
b) Step-ups
c) Pullups

How about doing a complex? Then adding the pull ups and step ups to the circuit two and making one large circuit. Also, there are no presses on this day?

Circuit 2
2)a) Pistols or lunges
b) Chinups

Circuit 3
3)a) Standing calf raises
b) Toe raises with reverse fly's

Day 3 (Medium) week 1-3/ 3 x 8, week 4-6/ 4 x 6 RI 90 sec, 60 sec

Core/ stabilization

1)a) BB cleans 3 x 1
b) Front squats
c) Pullups

2)a) BB OH press
b) RDL's
c) Chinups or rows

Why chin ups and rows in the same workout, and on day 2? Just do cleans by themself.

:nerd:
 
Thanks.

Yeah for my day 2 I was going to do rollong medicine ball pushups as part of a circuit 2 but I forgot to put it in. I like the idea of a giant circuit- that's sure to kill me. :laugh:

Okay I see what you mean by putting the cleans on their own.
I'm not sure what you mean by why chinups and rows, on day 3 I would just do one or the other not both.
 
I meant why chin ups and pull ups in the same workout, sorry.

only one way to find out.
 
I don't know that anything looks "off". Just have a reason for doing the things you are doing.

One thing I would say, is try and drum up a template. Something that makes it easy for you to write a program, so that you an take the guess work out of it.....like, these exercises go here, this goes here, i do this here, etc....That is one thing that really saves me time and helps me to visulaize the entire program when I write it out. I know exactly were to look and what needs to go where to make everything fit.
 
Good advice P, I'll keep the template idea in mind. Thanks for your help. I'm starting this program on Thursday so I will keep you posted on how things are going. :thumbup:
 
I think it looks fine. And I will go with P (since its ever would do any good to go against him), and say trial and error.
 
Just droppin in Brother BB, hope all is well!!!

Stretch


It's good to be back. What a great workout. I hate being away from the gym for more than a week. On a side note I went to a park by my house last night to do some one, two and lateral hops onto and over objects (as I am trying to increase my vertical) and I have already added six inches from when I started- so I am happy about that. :) I really want to be able to dunk a ball, it may take awhile but I know it's possible if I put my mind to it. :thumbup:
 
Good jorb on the rows.
 
^ Thanks captain. Yeah, I liked doing them with a BB for the balance factor. On my day three I will lighten the weight and do them balancing on one leg (like you suggested :thumbup:) but with a DB. :)

I'll only be satisfied when you're doing heavy DB rows while standing on the toes of one leg and balancing on a physioball. :)
