Workouts for 28 November to 4 December

November 27th, 2009 by Chris

This is the fifth week of workouts after my holiday.  I have only 3 more weeks before the Christmas holidays begin.

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 (220lbs).

Progress so far and notes

Deadlifts, squats and bench are moving up nicely.  Bodyweight exercises are suffering.  I need to try something different.

So, it’s time for a change in programming.  I’m going for a fairly radical change this time and try something I have not tried before.  Taking the advice of the ”more often, fewer sets” folks, I’m going to try a completely experimental programme involving a four day whole body regime.  I’ve plateaued on my one-arm chins and my dips, so I really need a shot in the arm from some fresh material.

Sounds completely mad, I know.  Let’s see what happens…

Without further ado, here is the workout plan
