Hi SF!
I am a whitecollar cubicle-warrior who started working out 2,5 years ago using Pavel's NW and a bit later S&S. Because I have never managed to nail the one-armed pushup I want to add them to my weekly routine but I am unsure if I am setting myself up for failure.
After completing the simple goals from S&S I moved to barbell training and have stuck to following routine for all of 2015:
Day 1: Squat, Press, conv. DL
Day 2: Squat, Press, Power Clean
I use Marty Gallagher's rolling progression(1 set @50%, 1 set @75%, 1 top set @100%; 4 weeks of 8s, 5s and finally 3s; add weight each week) + back off sets from Purposefull Primitive and my PRs from October are as follows:
Squat: 150kg@102kg BW
Press: 90kg@102kg BW
DL: 200kg@102kg BW
PC: 95kg@102kg BW
In addition to my barbell routine I do easy Pistol Squats and Pull Ups GTG-style on non-workout days. To cover cardio I either go for an easy 15-20 minute morning run or a few KB Swings S&S-style(200-300 per week at the most).
Other than that I mostly sit in front of a monitor and going grocery shopping is about as hard as my day gets. As far as I can tell I recover very well from my current routine. I have absolutely 0 experience with how training works and how bad of an idea adding One Arm Pushups GTG-style may be.
I hope some of the more experienced Coaches and Trainees here can help me with my little problem.
Thanks to all of you and sorry for the long post
