Making a few changes to my training routine for the next month at least. I feel like I should be doing some pressing and not just relying on Getups to increase my pressing strength. I still want to work Getups but I'm going to cycle the intensity and amount I do so I can do some Military Pressing and not become overtrained. I picked up some heavy chains and resistance bands and want to use them!
New routine
Monday - Military Press with the chains and 2-hand Swings 7 reps/set for about 30 sets with as much rest as I want. If I want to make these swings a little more on the conditioning side I throw in a few sets of 3x7 reps. That's about all the conditioning work I am interested in atm as my main goal is increasing my strength base.
Tuesday - Wide-grip palms out pullups + Getups @70-80% max for 7-10 sets
Thursdays Military Press with the resistance bands and 2 hand swings, same programming as above.
Friday - Palms facing in, narrow-grip pullups and Getups - heavy day, going for 5 80-90% max effort sets and maybe a PR when I feel ready for it.
Today
Military Press w/chains - I did sets of 3/3 - 3 reps with the chain, 3 reps without. This would be much easier to do with a partner but since I refuse to train with anybody I rigged a system that I can easily clip on and off the chains. I used the following weights: 8kg x 2 sets, 12 kg x 2 sets, 16 kg x 2 sets, 18 kg x 2 sets, 24 kg x 2 sets (last set I skipped the left side since it was pretty much maxed out) I also threw in a set of 5 each side with the 24 kg after all this work and was happy I could do it.
2-hand Swings - I did 30 sets of 7 reps, the last 9 sets I did in sets of 3 which was tough.
16kg x 3, 18 kg x 3, 24 kg x 3, 28 kg x 3, 32 kg x 3, 36 kg x 3, 40 kg x 3, (40,36,32kg) x 7 reps each for 3 sets
