My situation:
Been lifting heavy, Strongman, powerlifting for 20 years +. Coming up on 42 yrs old. 6'2" and currently 264 LBS. Im not crazy strong, but decently strong right now. Bench 350, deadlift 505, squat 405 ATG. Decently strong at Overhead press at 300 lbs yadda yadda. I dabble in Armwrestling also. As stated before when I posted in here I am chronically Stiff, sore, inflexible, my mobility is horrible, and my overall endurance sucks. Im a bull for a good 45 seconds or so but after that Im done. GOALS..........Loose weight, get mobility back, get flexible again, stop feeling stiff like a 2x4 24/7 and get some endurance back!. Im just over being "BIG" and Im tired of the constant nagging pains.
THE PLAN: Do Simple and Sinister 5-6 times a week AND mix in push ups/pull ups/ BW squats 3 times a week. I really want to keep push ups, pull ups, some sort of squat in my routine as I feel they are very important.
QUESTION: Is this TOO MUCH? Im used to lifting pretty hard 3-4X a week right now. Im just scared if I lower the volume too much I will lose too much strength. I plan on limiting the push ups to 100 a day, pull ups at 40 and squats at 100 3x a week in addition to S&S 5 times a week. THOUGHTS?
