Workouts for Sunday 1 to Saturday 7 November

This is the first week of workouts of a cycle of 8 weeks up to Christmas.  You’ll note that the workouts now begin on Sunday rather than Saturday.  That’s because my flight doesn’t get back until the Saturday evening…                                                                    

My goals

For what it is worth, my current goals are:

  • a double bodyweight pull up;
  • a 2.5x bodyweight conventional deadlift; and
  • bench 100kg (200lbs).

There’s not really much else to say other than I’m going to eat quite a lot and try and get plenty of rest to support the extra volume.  I’m also starting the weights pretty light as I’m aiming to get in quite a bit of linear progression before I stall.

Without further ado, here is the workout plan
