I just finished the 1st phase of my homemade (but S1 inspired) bodyweight program (OAOLPU + Pistol Squats). I started at 5x1 and finished at 5x5 today. No new PR, but that wasn't the point of the program anyway. I will keep 5x5 pistols unloaded for the next cycle, but moving down in elevation with the OAOLPU (probably around 30 cm) and start with 5-4-3-2-1 and adding reps until at 5x5 again at this new height. I am starting to feel the volume of the moves now and have split them up in A: OAOLPU and B: Pistol Squats, I GTG on off days for singles. Next cycle looks like this:
Monday: A
Tuesday: B
Wednesday: GTG
Thursday: GTG
Friday: A
Saturday: B
Sunday: GTG
I hope I have explained the program well enough. Now to my question: I want to return to my swings, should I do them before or after the bodyweight part on that given day? Personally I prefer before, especially when I am doing pistols, legs feel a little shaky after 5x5 unloaded pistols. I am using a mix of 2hand and 1hand swings, and will slowly work my way up to 100 as per usual (1x10 on the minute). My back really likes that I have returned to swings.
