Yeah thats it, I probably worded it poorly. I'll give you a look at what my week is roughly
Mon - 5/3/1 Bench, heavy rowing, medium overhead push and pull, statics Tue - 5/3/1 Front Squat, medium dip and curl, hamstring movement, statics, optional core work Wed - Running drills, recovery stuff Thur - 5/3/1 Overhead Press, Heavy overhead pull, medium horizontal push and pull, statics Fri - 5/3/1 Deadlift, single leg squat variation, multiplane push and pull, statics, optional core work Sat - Running drills, recovery stuff, grip work if I'm in the gym. Sun - Pretty well completely off
So I can really substitute any movements I like into the different areas, depending on the plane of movement I am doing. Its all very interchangeable, I just choose to do almost entirely bodyweight stuff.
The muscle ups look like this, quite strict, I sometimes go a lot slower, especially through the transition, trying to strengthen that up. I think once I can do these medium width MU all them time for a couple of reps I will be able to do a bar muscle up, going by the angles and shit.
BTW - Fucking awesome job on the dips, I'm so jelly.

Thanks guys. Well an update:
WEDNESDAY 6th JUNE 2012 OFF SICK. Actually felt alright the night before, but come Wednesday morning it wasn't happening.
THURSDAY 7th JUNE 2012 Light skipping is all. Ankle is a little better, hopefully should be running (albeit not very far) in the next month.
FRIDAY 8th JUNE 2012 Strength - Pull-ups BW x10 20kg 3x8 - Bench Press BAR x10 40kg x10 60kg 3x12 - Single Arm Row DB 30kg x10 50kg 3x5 60kg x3 - Shrugs 100kg 3x10 140kg 2x5 Easy day today, getting back into to it. Light weight only. Best news is that I got a few squats done at the end with just the bar, will start squatting again next week. Not heavy, won't go over 100kg for now.

<BrownNose> Had a little go at weighted dips after being inspired by your impressive performance. Anyway I still have to doth my cap to you sir, as I thought I would. I worked up to 60% BW (or is that 1.6 or BW + 60%, not good at this). Better than I thought but really gives you an idea of how hard something like that is. Once again, well done. </BrownNose>
Big goal for this year 140kg overhead, any means necessary.

I'm with you on the triceps sort of, mine ache today but it's different to bench. My chest is a different story, feel like someones been carving fillets from it, saw as a mother fucker. I tend to favour a closer grip on the bench press otherwise my shoulder moan at me (could just be paranoia) so I use a lot of triceps. Have you tried reverse band bench press? Now that's a triceps builder.
Thanks for the compliment. Being heavy isn't a reason not to do dips or chin ups, it's an excuse. My brother is lighter than me and sucks at both, he tells me it's because he's too heavy, I tell him it's because he's too weak. A little harsh but he's my brother, I'm meant to give him stick. Actually I'm a little on the light side right now, 100kg bang on. Think it's a bit to disparate to simply compare the total weight, best left as a percentage of bodyweight I feel.

Nice job on the deadlift, back lever is pretty much there too. That said I think I'm most jealous about how you can play music out loud and I can't! Before every lift I have to rearrange my headphones, and they're becoming quite crinkled due to the heavy dips and pull-ups. Plus they sometime pop out in the middle of a set. Luckily this pisses me off enough to help finish the set!
Also I want to eat kangaroo.
Hah, I guess you just need to find a gym you can control the music at somehow. I need to download more songs cause I always listen to the same stuff, but it is crap wearing headphones or listening to the radio. Plus I tend to sing out loud with headphones on and it is embarrassing if I don't catch myself.
