Time/Volume Training

It's finally time to get the next program ready to go.  I love making workout programs in phases.  Usually they last anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks.  Sometimes, it's just a single phase, sometimes it's a 90 day, 3 phase split (*like P90X.)  This particular phase, I'm going to kind of play with it.  It's 4 workouts a week, again, no cardio.  I may do an additional ab routine from time to time to keep them popping, but generally, here's what I'm doing.

I had to keep in mind my upcoming tour throughout June.  We'll be living in hotels for several weeks and won't have access to a gym or weights, so I wanted to try a bodyweight routine.

Every set is only 3 reps.  The differing breaks are noted along with total time per body part.

Monday:
Chest Dips - 15 minutes, 10 second break
Handstand Push-Ups - 15 minutes, 10 second break
Diamond Push-Ups - 10 minutes, 10 second break

Tuesday:
Chin-Ups - 15 minutes, 10 second break (moving to back rows when chin-ups fail) *(sets of 3)
One Leg Bench Step Ups - 15 minutes, alternating, so no break. *(sets of 5)
Alternating Calf Raises/V-Ups 15 minutes, SuperSet - no breaks. *(sets of 5)

Thursday:
Bench Press - 20 minutes, 20 second break *(sets of 3, deloading as needed)
Military Dumbbell Shoulder Press - 20 minutes, 20 second break *(sets of 3, deloading as needed)

Friday:
Squats - 20 minutes, 20 second break *(sets of 3, deloading as needed)
Alternating Bi/Tri sets - random/fun stuff.  20 minutes.
