Hello dear GB-community!
First a brief introduction of my athletic experience. My main objective is to be able to defend myself if I am in danger. That's why I started Kickboxing and Boxing some years ago. 2-3 times a week I'd add an additional body-weight training hour which consisted of long sets of dips, push-ups, chin-ups, pistol squats etc. For instance: 5x 15rep for each with 30s rests. I gained over three years ~15kg of mass. Start: 1m67, 50kg and actually 1m70, 60kg. However, I reached the 65kg mark some months ago and due to a serious illness I lost 5kg. I even gained more strength and endurance but not as much as I first expected.
However, my objective is not mass but power, not aesthetic but strength. And I believe the foundations series will perfectly help me to achieve personal satisfaction. I decided to devote the next 3-4 years to the mastery of F1 to F4 and H1 to H2.
Right now I am testing my levels of mastery for each PE and I already started the 12-week-cycle training for some of them ( I am really weak at SL)
I have some questions about the routine, I searched them in the forum but couldn't find the needed answers.
- Can I merge two training days of Fx in one day? For example: I do FL, sPL, MN, SL and the rest in the same workout unit? Is it somehow advantageous? And if yes, is there a specific order I should respect?
- Can I train Fx and Hx in the same day? FL, sPL ... + WP, WR,... HS and pHS? Is it counterproductive?
- I don't know why, but my performances for HBP are great enough to start directly with F2. Each workout day I checked my mastery for all preparatory elements of this exercise and it seems that the level I still need to master is in F2 and not in F1. Is this ok? Should I just continue?
I would be very thankful if you could help me further.
Thanks from Europe
