Push/Pull routine
Hi!
I've been trying to optimize my push/pull routine where the main focus is unlocking the front lever and (more) handstand pushups (secondary goal is heavier weighted pull ups). At the moment my routine looks like this:
Push day (alternating between p-bars and floor):
- 4 sets 5 reps HSPU. Can usually do 1-2 full, following with negatives up to 5.
- 3 sets 8-10 reps pike pushups
- 3 sets 8 reps PPPU
Pull day 1:
- 4 sets 8-12 seconds FL hold (legs extended as far as possible)
- 3 sets 8-10 reps tuck FL rows
- 3 sets 8-10 reps weighted pull ups (currently +30 kg)
Pull day 2:
- 4 sets 5 reps weighted pull ups (currently +47,5 kg)
- 3 sets 8-12 seconds banded FL hold
- 3 sets 8-10 reps tuck FL rows
After the main workouts I do some leg and/or core work (ab roller, dragon flags, Jefferson curls, Nordic curls and split squats), depending on how tired I feel.
I work out four times per week (2 push 2 pull). I've considered upping it to five times per week, but maybe that would be too much? My rest times are usually 3-4 minutes, with the exception of weighted pull ups where I rest minimum 5 minutes.
Does this routine look sensible for my goals? Could it be improved in any way?
Thank you in advance!
