Hello, first time poster here. I am a 30 year old male, 5’10”, 173 lbs. My main focus now is to build strength. The equipment I have include pull up bar, dip station, weighted vest to 40 lbs, and adjustable kettlebell (20-50 lbs). I came across the The Anytime, Anywhere Bodyweight-Only Strength Program - StrongFirst but I can’t do 10+ reps for the pull up and pistol squat and can’t do a handstand push-up, so I need a preparatory phase to build strength.
Ideally, I’d like to combine bodyweight and kettlebell strength exercises. Using starting strength as an inspiration, I came up with the following template. Comments?
Workout A:
One leg squat 3 x 5 (use weighted vest as needed)
Weighted push-up 3 x 6-8
Weighted pull up 3 x 5
KB swing 2 x 10-20
Workout B:
Weighted goblet squat 3 x 8-10 (weighted vest plus kettlebell)
Weighted dips 3 x 6-8
Bodyweight pull ups 3 x 8-10
KB clean 5 x 3
Anything better that would suit my goals? My main goal now is strength. Conditioning will be covered by easy running a couple times per week. I’ll incorporate more conditioning once ive built up some strength.
