As such, I'll be following a variation of the 'New Blood' program as described in Convict Conditioning. Paul advises getting to Step 6 in each of Pushups, Leg Raises, Pullups and Squats before proceeding to the next program 'Good Behaviour', which incorporates Bridges and Handstand Pushups.
New Blood v 2.0, which I've opted for, is described in the Convict Conditioning Super FAQ. It's a more intense program upping the workouts from 2 to 3 times per week with at least one day off before each workout. This suits me pretty well. My new program will look like this:
WEEK 1
Day 1 - Pushups: 2-3 work sets, Leg Raises: 2-3 work sets
Day 2 - REST
Day 3 - Pullups: 2-3 work sets, Squats: 2-3 work sets
Day 4 - REST
Day 5 - Pushups: 2-3 work sets, Leg Raises: 2-3 work sets
Day 6 - REST
Day 7 - REST
WEEK 2
Day 1 - Pullups: 2-3 work sets, Squats: 2-3 work sets
Day 2 - REST
Day 3 - Pushups: 2-3 work sets, Leg Raises: 2-3 work sets
Day 4 - REST
Day 5 - Pullups: 2-3 work sets, Squats: 2-3 work sets
Day 6 - REST
Day 7 - REST
So the idea is that I'll always alternating between Pullups/Squats and Pushups/Leg Raises.
I'm thinking I'll also try and squeeze in a sprint session during the week on one of the rest days and, depending on how I'm feeling, put a workout in on Day 7 from time to time.
Just to clarify I'm still starting off on Step 1 of all 4 exercises.
I feel that this is an appropriate change to my program and truly sets a baseline for me to build on.
