No problem, I bet you’ll do extremely well on it, when the time comes.
I took a week off, but I started back up again today. I’m going to be doing a 5x5 routine, not quite the Texas method (I’ll start that one in a couple of months), I’ll post the details soon.
The gym was closing soon so I only had time for this:
Squats 5x5x135
Bench 5x5x135
18 varied grip pullups divided into two sets
I’m focusing on quality of movement as I have dropped the weight of my squat significantly. I’m doing an olympic style squat where my hips are going lower than my knees.
I’ll post the full routine for the coming weeks soon.
Alright here is the new routine. The major difference is increased volume, 5x5 for squats, bench, standing press. Also the addition of a couple excercises.
It consists of two workouts, alternating three times a week.
I’m going to try for a Saturday, Monday, Wednesday split.
Workout A:
Squat 5x5
Bench Press 5x5
Inverted Rows 3xF
Push-ups 3xF
Workout B:
Squat 5x5
Standing Press 5x5
Deadlift 1x5
Pull-ups/Chin-ups 3xF
Prone Bridges 3x30sec
At least one other day during the week I will probably go in and do a Bicep/Calves/Abs split, with some soft tissue and activation work thrown in.
