Started a new program I did years ago called 'Stripped Down Hyperthrophy'.  Decided to change things up for a training block away from the barbell medicine templates for something different. It's supposed to be run 5x/week, but I will do 3-4 with 1-2 GPP days.  The workout is in 2 groups, each group done every WO. Groups alternate days between 5x5 and 4x10.  I won't be doing straight sets.  Sets 1 or 2 will be ramp up sets with top 2-3 sets at appropriate rep range. Otherwise, the WO is too long and too much volume for me, right now.

Started with Squat working up to sets @RPE 6,7,8x3 (roughly). Felt good about the top sets @175#.  Next I supersetted bench and BOR. This was a challenging superset with fairly heavy weights for me.  This group took nearly 40 minutes, the time approximated for the ENTIRE WO.  Not for me!

Next I did RDL's working to 2 top sets.  Then I supersetted DB shoulder press and inverted rows on the rings.  I would have liked pulldowns or pullups here, but neithre were going to work for different reasons.  I don't have a pulldown, and the bands I have are too light. After rows and RDL, no way am I getting 4x10 pullups. :)
This first WO was a nice change. Fast paced, some "heavy" work, and really full body work.  It'll be interesting to see how many body responds and how many times I can do this a week.
