Go-to movements right now:
Double weight vest pushups: my old, bulky 30 lb. vest fits over my new, trimmer 20 lb. vest. So, I do a set to failure with both vests, a set to failure with the lighter vest, the finish with a set to failure without vests.
Hip-belt squat. A dog leash works for this one. I stand on 4'' cinder blocks and knock off one high-rep set. Leash can probably hold 100 lbs.
Barbell deadlift, one high-rep set. Started with 135 X 25 and am adding ten pounds per workout. Naturally, reps will drop as weight increases. Interested to see how heavy I can get before reps drop below, say, five.
Weight vest pullups.
