New routine

[tetsu ryu]

I'm making a new routine because I have goals that I want to meet before the summer ends and I'm a little pissed that I'm not seeing any improvement on the current regimen I'm on. Here it is.

Monday- Max pushups, Max pullups, 2 Timed crunch sets for 1 minute then as many rounds of 20 side crunches 15 legraises and 30 seconds prone flutter kicks as I can take.
Then Tabatas of 10 pushups, 5 pullups, 15 Bodyweight squats with 10-20 seconds of rest which gradually increases as the sets go but stops at the limit of twenty seconds of rest after each set.

Tuesday- Active recovery of grease the groove. 5 pushups and 2 pullups everytime I walk in and out of my room.

Wednesday- Tabatas same as monday and then what I'd like to call the quarter deck workout. =P 100 Jumping jacks, Max burpees, supermans, mountain climbers, prone flutter kicks for 1 minute, boot strappers, high knees, and then 100 jumping jacks to cool down with.

Thursday- Running workout 50 sec jog 10 second sprint at the end of each minute of my run and then swimming laps.

Friday- Full rest day

Saturday: Strength workout
5x5 Bench, "The Bear" for near max # of reps, weighted pullups, punching bag lifts, bag presses, Bag squats, medicine ball throws, handstand pushups, neck bridges, and full standing ab-wheel work.

Sunday: Full rest day

My goal is to up pushup, pullup, and crunch reps, and to increase my overall endurance, and to get up my bench to 200lbs for 5x5 (curently at 195). Good, bad, too much, too little? Or if you feel your OCD kicking in why don't you just move it all around in a better format. :D

I'm sure "The Bear," exercises is featured some where on t-nation if your not familiar with it.

Looking good man, I'd throw some more stuff for your legs in there like Squats and DLs to get you ready for the forced marches.

Sleddrags and Ruckmarches should get your feet and back ready for Boot. Your traps are gonna take a beating once that those ALICE Pack shoulder straps start cutting into them. (rhyming ftw)

Maybe try and add a ruckmarch and/or sled drag in on tuesdays.

I think you'd be better off trying to max your DL than the Bench, the DIs love having you "rest" in the pushup position and your entire Core and PC is gonna be taxed, so DLs and planks would be the way to go IMO.

Keep at it Youngbuck. ;)

So.. My traps, pc, and legs need some work eh? I'll make adjustments shortly.. :D For pc I might throw in some various types of "safe" neck bridges on strength day and I'll throw in some supermans into the "Quarterdeck type workout."

This is what the bear is.. It's all one fluid motion. I'm certian my shoulders will give out first so after I wear out I'll probably just do the cleans and front squats and then once my arms wear I'll finish up with the few remaining squats I can pump out.

1) Power clean (from the hang position usually, but it can also be done from the floor)

2) Front squat

3) Push press (from front of shoulders)

4) Back squat

5) Push press (from behind the shoulders)

I appreciate your reply man!
