I’m not running a specific program that was designed by anyone, but over time I’ve just slowly been adding stuff that I do on a regular basis, I currently don’t have any real goals other than to stay in shape, gradually put more weight on the bar and stave off death. I also work a rotating schedule that doesn’t align with a regular week so most programs don’t match up. I usually do some kind of kettlebell stuff about twice a week (swings, get ups, presses) sometimes as interval work sometimes untimed. On those days I also do pull ups and/or push ups. I also run around 2-4 miles once or twice a week and I do squats and deadlifts with a barbell once a week. Sometimes I’ll throw a wildcard in there once in a while, and that will be a long (about an hour) row on the concept2 or farmers carrys with my kettlebells or some kinda circuit workout that includes jumping rope and other stuff. My only particular focus is increasing my squat and deadlift and obviously that’s going slow because I only do it once a week, but I’m not in any rush.
I have to vary intensity and volume depending on my recovery status. I’m at the point where I can be honest with myself about how much I can tolerate on a specific day and that can vary greatly based on my work schedule.
Most of my kettlebell stuff is based around Pavel’s Simple and Sinister and I mostly do sets of fives on barbell as suggested by Rippetoe. But I’m not actually following either program.
