Strength Workout
SuperSet, 5 Rounds(max reps) : long rest
Squat
195 x 12
195 x 12
195 x 12

Pull-ups(overhand wide grip)
BW x 12
BW x 11
BW x 10


My squats are deep, and pull-ups are throat to bar. Deep squats for sets of 12 really wear me out, so I take long rest intervals on this workout. My plan is to progress up in weight doing sets of max reps. In a few weeks the weight will be a lot more resulting in a low rep strength workout, then I will reset back to a lighter weight and work my way up again, hopefully lifting each weight for more reps(or perhaps using front or overhead squats instead). Planned periodization based on weight progression rather than rep goals.

For the deadlift/HSPU workout I am going to progress a little differently because I don't like doing high rep deadlifts, and I will progress on the hand stand push-ups by increasing range of motion.
