I’ve been having some pretty bad insomnia lately and my lifts have been stalled for a while so I’m pretty sure that I need to make some alterations to my current routine. I figured this would happen eventually but wanted to see how far I could go lol
The new plan for the week is:
M: 8x squat, 5x snatch grip rack pull, 8x good morning
Tu: 8x close grip bench, 4x overhead press, 8x close grip row, 4x Yates row
W: 10x squat, 10x good morning
Th: 5x close grip bench, 3x overhead press, 3x behind the neck press, 5x close grip row, 3x Yates row, 3x barbell shrug
F: 5x deadlift, 10x squat, 6x good morning
Sa: 5x overhead press, 5x close grip bench, 3x behind the neck press, 5x Yates row, 5x close grip row, 3x barbell shrug
Su: rest
This will reduce the total number of sets per week by about 16% (I think) which will hopefully let me recover enough to make some progress while also not detraining more than I need to. I’m happy with the exercise selection I have already but I think I have to alleviate the total stress by a decent amount.
Edit: Messed up the days originally, fixed it
