I decided to switch to the Starting Strength program for at least the rest of the year, possibly longer. I'm leaving out the WOD anyway on a regular basis; and CFBF is on hiatus right now, so I can just as well concentrate on strength gains. This also meshes better with my available time at the moment.

So I'll stick to 3 workouts per week (M-W-F), with A-Day being Squat (3x5), Bench Press (3x5) and Deadlift (1x5); and B-Day being Squat (3x5), Press (3x5) and Power Clean (5x3). Add to that 3 sets of chin-ups/pull-ups. I'll start at 80% of my 5RM, and reset when I stall.

Depending on how this shapes up, I might increase one workout per week to 5 sets of 5 reps for Squats and Press/Bench press, as recommended by Rip. Possibly Friday, before the weekend...

Current numbers are:
Back Squat 5RM: 108,5 kg (3x5)
Bench Press: 58,5 kg (3x5)
Deadlift: 106,5 kg (3x5)
Press: 59,5 kg (1x5)
Power Clean: 70-ish kg... I guess. Long time.

Let's see how much we can improve on that.
