      20 Feb

      Fasted A.M. Walking ~30 mins
      Frequency Push Ups – 6 x 16

      21 Feb

      Frequency Push Ups – 5 x 16
      Power Clean – 3 x 3 x 80kg
      Bench Press – 5 x 6 x 87.5kg
      Hex DL – 5 x 6 x 112.5kg
      Dips – 5 x 7 x 10kg (90 secs)
      L-Sit Hold – 4 x 15 secs
      Bwd Tuck Hold – 3 x 15 secs, 1 x 12 secs
      Ab Wheel (& Prone Pull in) – 3 x 6

      Conditioning – Sandbag Squat (alternate shoulder with ground touch between) x 50 in 8:50

      Moved a few things around, I was doing too many chin ups so one has been scrapped and the other is now pull ups. I’m also switching to Front Squat, adding in Power Cleans and once i’ve done my work challenge of push ups and dips i’ll likely ditch the dips.

      Nutrition has been:
      Week 1 – P140 C260 F60 Cals 2150
      Week 2 – P145 C230 F70 Cals 2150
      Week 3 – P145 C190 F79 Cals 2050

      This is a 7 day average as it saves me getting it spot on every day and allows for more carbs on workout days, carb cycling if you will. Week 4 is going to be 2000 cals, dropping carbs right down to 150 and moving fat up to 90.

      Below is a set of my frequency push ups (cat attacked me halfway). These are tough the day after bench press and seem excessive sometimes when i’ve done TRX push ups or bench that day. I’ll either re-arrange the days I do them or cut one day out after my work challenge.

          12 January

          Frequency push ups – 3 x 11
          Weighted Chin Ups – 10kg x 8, 6, 5kg x 8, 6, BW x 7
          Back Squat – 5 x 8 x 80kg RPE 7.4

          V-Sit – 3 x 10
          Stir The Pot (Swiss Ball Ab) – 3 x 25 secs
          Arms Up Crunch – 3 x 20 x 2.5kg

          15 January

          Frequency push ups – 1 x 11 (more like infrequent…)
          OHP – 5 x 6 x 45kg RPE 6.4
          Chin Ups – 5 x 6 x 5kg RPE 7.1
          Dips – 6 x 5kg, 4 x 6 x 10kg RPE 6.6

          17 January

          Hex DL – 5 x 6 x 100kg RPE 6.4
          Chin Up Ladder (1,2,3,4,5) – 15, 12, 13 reps
          Dips – 5 x 6 x 10kg
          Circuit (5 burpees & 10 pressups, 10 rounds) – 9 mins 46 secs

          Trying out more things, have a decent template for this six pack training but still testing. I didn’t like 5 x 8 but 5 x 6 is nice, and 30 total reps for an exercise is in the recommended range. The idea behind frequency press ups is to only do enough that you aren’t tired, and spread them across the day so there’s minimal fatigue. I’m not in the habit of them so i’ll have to tie them to an activity, like a set before preparing food or brushing my teeth, in order to remember to do 5-6 sets.

          I’ll start the proper training on Feb 1st as that will mean the day after my “six week abs” will be my birthday.
