Hello again,
While I spend this week letting the joints and muscles heal, I wanted to rethink my strategy. I'm still in progress trying to get in shape for law enforcement, but want to drop my daily commitment to 60 - 90 minutes 3 days a week versus 6 days a week. I am going to continue to follow the cardio base-building plan that Tactical Barbell's Law Enforcement book outlines, but obviously want to continue with my calisthenics for strength and strength endurance.
I'm considering a template that would alternate maximum strength with strength endurance similar to the Starting Strength idea:
Workout A: Max Strength
Workout B: Strength Endurance
Week 1: A, B, A
Week 2: B, A, B
The question here is...
1. WHAT programs should I plug in here? Or should I maybe come up with something more tailored to my goals?
I have myriad of calisthenics manuals but most of them seem to be aimed towards maximum strength. Some of these include...
1. Convict Conditioning (all 3 books)
2. Get Strong (and essentially all other Al & Danny Kavadlo books)
3. You Are Your Own Gym
4. Complete Calisthenics
5. The Naked Warrior
6. C-Mass
7. Get Started with Calisthenics (Jeff Cowan)
8. Building the Gymnastic Body (Coach Sommers)
9. Rings of Power (Mike Gillette)
10. Lots of Stew Smith books
I've also gathered some mini programs such as...
1. The Armstrong Pull-Up Program
2. The Fighter Pull-Up Program
3. Strongfirst's Anytime, Anywhere Bodyweight-Only Strength Program
Seems as if I am in information overload, and I need help to get some clarity.
