Achieving my Long Term Goals

    I'm after getting into all the bodyweight and functional strength training from talking to a few others and finding the Ross Enamait site and books.

    I have a lend of the Underground Guide, and it makes more sense than the countless posts and articles I've read on bodybuilding.com and T-Nation.

    I've always made excuses for not training or skipping it (no time, money for gym, can't follow a plan).

    But now I have specific long term goals to stick to:
    • 500 x BW Sqauts (Hindu)
    • 150 x Burpees
    • 100 x Push-Ups (Strict, chest to ground)
    • 50+ x Knuckle Push-Ups
    • 25+ x Pull-Ups (I'm struggling to do 5 at the minute)
    • 15 x 1 Leg BW Squat (both legs)
    • 15 x HandStand Push-Ups
    • 5 minute x Plank
    • 5 minute x Wrestlers Bridge

    I tested myself earlier on, this is how many I can do in a row:
    • BW (Hindu) Squats = 150
    • Burpees = 25
    • Push-Ups = 25 (in 30 seconds)
    • Knuckle Push-Ups = 10
    • Pull-Ups (full ROM) = 6
    • 1 Leg Squat = 0 :(
    • HandStand Push-Up = 1 :(
    • Plank = 90secs
    • WB = 40 secs

    I am willing to stick at it and see this through - to prove a point to myself if nothing else.

    Question is, for the high-rep exercises, what's the best way to go about it?
    • Should I try to do all the exercises each day?
    • How do I structure it?
    • What should my work to rest ratio be?
    • Is it just a case of building it up by doing them the whole time and setting smaller goals?

    eh not so sure tbh but i think you could do worse than check out www.crossfit.com or www.gymjones.com. Alot of their workouts have alot of high rep stuff in them and it does give a structure to your training.
    You could also work at building up some strenght by trying one hand press-ups etc.
