So for a number of (now forgotten) reasons, the daily workout morphed into something else.
Six week later, I have something that will probably work just as well–possibly better because I think it is more sustainable.
Rather than doing the full 100 of everything, I’m doing the following:
Working up from 20 to 100 of everything in 1-3 week increments. Ideally the first time I do a specific count, it should be pretty hard, and it should become relatively easy by the end. This gives the body time to recover and adjust, rather that forcing gains over and over again.
By giving the body time to adjust, I’m allowing tendons, bones, and ligaments time to catch up, which they don’t have time for if the only gains I’m looking for are muscular (grow and adapt much faster).
So the plan I’m working through is 3 months long, and I only get into the 60 rep range by the end of it.
I’m also adding kettlebell swings to the group. I started with 35lbs x 40 reps, and am currently in 50 reps starting the third week. I’ll work up to 75 reps with 35 lbs, and then jump to 45 lbs for about 5 weeks before jumping again to my 60 lbs kettlebell.
