Hello everyone,
I am a school teacher who has gotten into training for the first time over the last year and a half. I have seen and read some of Pavel's work and I was looking for some feedback on the routine I wrote for myself based on what I have learned over the last year and a half. For background I am a man in his late 20's who is just looking to be healthy and set a good example for my students. I have no particular functional strength needs or any particular limiting injuries. I had been working in the school's gym with basic compound barbell movements until the pandemic began where I started with more bodyweight movements. After reading about ladder style training from Pavel and hearing his minimalist mindset for training I came up with the following routine. I would alternate between day 1 and day 2 training 4 days per week. I was hoping that I could get some feedback from people who are more advanced in training to see what is good or bad with this routine.
Day 1
Pistol squats ladder style
(1-3) for 2 sets
Diamond pushups ladder style done as a superset with the pistol squats
(1-5) for 3 sets
Hardstyle Plank
6x15 seconds or as long as possible
Crow yoga pose
3 sets of 30 second hold
Day 2
Back bridge ladder style
(1-4) for 3 sets
Push ups ladder style super set with bridges
(1-7) for 3 sets
Inverted row ladder style
(1-7) for 3 sets
Practice Hard Style Breathing
6 sets
