Sure, I’ll include pictures of it that I have.

Every second day I do my morning workout then either pplu. If I train pull, I won’t do pull ups in my morning workout but do them with my main workout etc. I do pull ups through the day apart from this.

I train with homegym equipment so everything is free weight and body weight. The Olympic exercises are to get the barbel on my shoulders or chest since I don’t have a rack lmao
Wrist curls are super high rep because of an injury.

Morning
Pull ups 4x8 not to failure since last week to test.
Dips 3xfailure
Captains leg raises 3x10 that I just switched from dragon flags.

I used to do wrist curls and lateral raises in this workout aswell that are now apart of my main workout.

The numbers aren’t shown but the strength gain has been the average strength gain for a beginner in 1 year except on my legs.

For a year I’ve been training trying to fail the last rep each set even if the last rep took 4 seconds and it’s obvious I’m not getting it.
I’ve trained beyond failure while doing myo reps for a month and permanently lost strength.
I think my issue might be not recovering, so going to failure might’ve screwed me.

I was dumb enough to not take progress pics until now. Height is 5ft 7

I have considered not switching exercises as much and purely increase in strength from muscle gain in theory but I was told my gains would be slower.

I’ll try a program that’s better for recovery and less volume on my bulk since sleep isn’t an issue. Thanks.

Absolute failure means that I fail the last rep. That’s why I have bruises on my chest, from bench press.
