For those of you who have been following along with my developing pencil programs I have decided to compile them all into the one post you can see the progressions, exercise selection is of course entirely up to you and what you have available, any errors are completely mine in the making, I hope you will find a use for all or part of it in your programming, feel free to add a core exercise on any training days that you like I do not think you can go past the advice of Pavel when he says, 3 – 5 exercsies for 3 – 5 sets of 3 – 5 reps on 3 – 5 days each week or like me just put one in at the conclusion of each training session or day, go well, cheers, ash
