Putter2712 Trains - The Persuit of Perfection

Figured i should start a log, never really kept one before. I imagine it will be messy at first as i learn what i can and cant do in the gymnastic portion of my workout and learn my training limit, as i have no experience of how gymnastic progressions will affect my cns and recovery.

Stats:
Age: 21
Height: 5’10"
weight: 180
BF: Less than 10%

Current 1RM’s
Bench: 120 kg
Deadlift: 190 kg
Squat: 190 kg
OHP: 85 kg

Goals:
Primary: Add Lean Mass while maintaing sub 10% bf and visible 8 pack. (yes im one of the lucky ones)
Secondary: Progress through to a Full Back Lever and Full Planche
Long Term: Iron Cross

I have developed a workout routine which i feel combines useful elements from both bodybuilding, althletic performance and will start incorporating ring work from tomorrow. It is built on a foundation of HP mass, with added gymnastic statics and hypertrophy specific ring work, and is as follows (for now)
