General Fitness / programming question
« on: October 21, 2012, 11:06:51 AM »
Need advice on kind of a tricky programming. I'm hoping i'm not trying to do too much.
After a long season of running, etc I'm ready to build so anterior upper-body mass and hitting it off with some 'postural work. The running has paid off, and I can do under a 5 minute mile and I'm feeling fast, and I haven't lost too much weight doing it. I've decided to put running to a back seat and run just a bit while adding some mass on my upper body. Here is my goals and Objectives for everyone.
Objective: To increase muscular endurance and strength for job related performances such as firefighting and possibly military if i enter. Secondary Objective is increase upper body mass (arms, shoulders, chests.)
Starting out at three days a week then to four.
Goals (top priority to bottom)
1.) 20 chin-ups/pull-ups
2. Perform three clean muscle-ups
3.) 100 Push-ups
4.) Gain 20 lbs of muscle in the upper body area for good looks
5.) Obtain better better shoulder mobility and creating better shoulder health. Increasing ROM and correcting posture
Concerns
1. Adding dips/overhead press on the same day and adding bench and pull-ups
2. Concerned about how much space I have in my acroclavicular joint doing overhead press/dips/pull-ups/bench and how it will affect me. Im thinking if there is no pain that I shouldn't worry about it.
Program
Warm-up
Rowing
Band Dislocations
Shoulder gliding
Workout A
Pull-ups (staring with just normal pull-ups first month then weight 3-4 sets of 5) two minutes of rest between sets
5 Minutes off
Bench Press (3 by 5-8) three minutes of rest between sets
5 minutes off
Back Squat (3 x
two mins and 30 seconds off
---
5 Minutes off (Intensity lowers for more postural work)
Seated dumbell cleans ( For Humeral External Rotation to counter pull-ups) (2 sets of 20 45 seconds between)
2 minute rest
Ab wheel 2 sets of 20 (45 seconds between sets) for the lengthening of the abdominal section for kyphosis
two minutes
---
mobility physical therapy bullshit
External shoulder rotation resistant band exercises elbow at trunk and at 90 degrees. Other rhomboid band resistance
2 minutes of rest
Saxon side bends, prone cobras, scap push-ups, foam roller, throacic mobility, leg stretches, hip stretches
Workout B
Dips (Starts with regular dips, then rings then progress to weighted 3-4 sets of 5-8 three- four minutes of rest
5 minutes of rest
Seated dumbbell overhead press 4 sets of 5-8 two minutes 30 seconds of rest
5 minutes of rest
Face Pull 2 sets of 15 45 seconds between
---
Intensity lowers
Prone trap raises 2 sets of how ever many (scapular retraction)
Rear Delt Flyes (humeral external rotation 2 sets of however many
pulldowns 2 sets of 20
all the same mobility shit afterwords
everyday work
run 10-15mins easy to moderate with
swim 500meters form work/underwaters
mobility work hour a day
GTG work
Chin-ups, Push-ups
being a busy asshole doing work.
this might be too much work but please tell. Can't wait to feel them shoulders work again.

I'm not sure if I'll do that. Depends on the money . . .
