I'm trying a bodyweight push/pull/legs&core split (first week doing it). It's definitely a step up from what I was doing before. Planning on working some rowing in, as well.
Same warmup as always, bodyline drills, and skill work (lsit, support hold, handstand).
Pushing was ring dips, piked pushups, pseudo planche pushups, and one armed planks.
Pulling was pullups, false grip hangs (i hated these), tucked front lever rows, and tucked front lever holds.
Tomorrow is legs and core.
Never hear it "uneducated starter kit", gonna steal that from you, and good job with the correctionQuote:

Weighted sit-ups 2x20
Bench dips 2x10
Kneeling slashers 2x6, each side
Planks 3x30 seconds
Back extensions 2x12
Upright rows 2x10
Upped weight for leg curls and changed to bench dips to help with the shoulder. Much less stress on the shoulder and better isolation of the tris so may keep it.

Straight leg deads 100, 110, 120, 130 x 8 @2min

Dumbell incline curl 17.5kg x 8 x4 @1min
Made reps on skull crushers and Ez bar curls again this week. Still waiting for the shoulder to be better. Weight for the bench dips was too light and got more reps and sets than wanted so will up next week.
I logged a 2.75 mile run this morning and hiked 2.3 miles this afternoon scouting a trail.

Made reps on shoulder presses. Didn't have to go to the barbell today and dumbbells were actually a little heavier. Got new dumbbells and these have 19cm of spindle each side compared to 10cm of the previous ones so 18cm of extra spindle per dumbell. Not much but since I am not even at reps yet it felt like a step up.
Ooh, dinner and scales,and a few strops, I'll take 2.Quote:

I'm not sure what wheel with a threaded bar you are referring to, got a picture or a link?
And running! :nono: not unless there is a ball involved, I can't get into running for health. Cycling when the weather warms up, but no running.

Made reps on barbell and dumbell rows. Again felt that little extra in the dumbbells. Just made it. Didn't make reps on deads. Think I may have slowed down a little much. Will start making more explosive again and see if I can start making reps again.

I actually got my arse out of bed this morning and joined the Friday crew for a ride. So logged 31km. My 1st ride in over a month.
My running over this past month has obviously helped my fitness as I set a Strava PR on a short climb. I was surprised as I didn't think that I was pushing it, although my heart rate tells a different story. :)
