Burrenguy's journey to build strength and size.

Okay here's what the bodyweight workout I'll be following looks like:

Push up progression: 4 x 5-9 reps
Squat progression: 4 x 5-9 reps
Pull up progression: 4 x 5-9 reps
L sit progression: 4 x max time

Working on a particular move till I can do 4 sets of 9, then doing a harder movement. Focus is on good form and tension. About 1.5 mins rest between rests. L sit is more practice than sets: working towards straightening the legs. 3 times a week.

todays workout....
Push up: 4x9
Squats: 4x9
Inverted rows: 4x9
and L sit work.

All grand, will progress onto diamond push ups, close squats, and chin ups next.

Todays workout...
Diamond Push ups: 4x5
Close squats: 4x5
Chin ups: 4x5
L sit work: 4 sets max time.

Push ups grand, squats grand but balance was a little awkward. Chin ups were grand but slightly tough. L sit work is tough but going okay. Legs about half untucked for 5-ish seconds per set.

Todays workout...
Diamond Push ups: 9, 9, 9, 9
Close squats: 9, 9, 9, 9
Chin ups: 6, 6, 6, 2
L sit work: 4 sets max time.

Lot of muscle soreness today. Push ups and squats grand, l sits awkward.
Not happy with the chin ups obviously. Only thing to do is to keep working.

todays workout...
Plyo push ups: 4 x 5
Squat jumps: 4 x 5
Chin ups: 4 x 6
L sits: 4 x max time.

All okay. Chin up form a bit loose.

max rep test today...
Push ups: 26
Chin ups: 11

low bodyweight is helping the chin ups. Overall not happy.

doing one set of pull ups and push ups per day. Adding one rep every time I can.
todays sets..
Pull ups: 5
Push ups: 15

Building to 15/40 respectively.
Not ideal, but as these were my goals at the start of the year I want to focus on them alone. I have had experience of this kind of workout working well for me in the past so I decided to return to it.

Gone off the rails recently but getting back into it now.

Dynamic warmup
Push ups: 3x9
Squats: 3x9
Inverted rows: 3x9
Hanging knee raises: 2x10
Wall handstand progression: 2x 20 secs

basically progressing through exercises once I hit 3x9 for main three exercises and 2x10 on hanging leg raises. aiming for 60 second wall handstand.
All going towards bulking. trying to stay going now while I'm off the weights.

Dynamic warmup
Diamond push ups: 3x9
Split squats: 3x9
Chin ups: 3x4
Strict hanging knee raises: 2x10
Wall handstand progression: 1x 20 secs

Severe rush of blood to the head on handstand attempt put me off... I should probably start with it anymore.

burrenguy

Dynamic warmup
Strict diamond push ups: 3x9
Chin ups: 3x5
Strict split squats: 3x9
Hanging leg raises: 2x5

all grand. Still unsure about the handstands.. maybe they'd go better as a daily little thing.

I was mucking about with different exercises and strained my side at the weekend so I didn't push too much today.
Decline push ups: 3x9
Chin ups: 3x6
Assisted pistols: 3x5
Hanging leg raises: 2x6

kept at the lower end of each rep range.. will increase soon though.
