Starting Power Training on Monday

I'm really excited to be starting Men's Health Power Training by Robert dos Remedios on Monday.  The program comes highly recommended both by reviewers on Amazon and by members of JP Fitness forums.  Honestly, I like the plain and very clear writing and the philosophy behind the programs in the book is solid.  There are a dozen different exercises in this book that you plug into a prescribed framework which means that you can mix and match infinitely and never get bored.  Here's what I've chosen:

Full-Body Workout for Strength Training (Weeks 1-3) Workout A Explosive: Power Clean Knee Dominant: Front Squat Hip Dominant: SL Rom DL Horizontal Push: Bench Press Horizontal Pull: 1-arm standing cable row Vertical Push: Push Jerk Vertical Pull: Side to side pull up Rotational: Seated Russian Twist Bridging: 3-pt. Plank Workout B Explosive: Power Snatch Knee Dominant: Drop Lunge Hip Dominant: Good Morning Horizontal Push: Standing Cable Chest Press Horizontal Pull: Modified T-Bar Row Vertical Push: DB alternating press Vertical Pull: Single Arm Lat pulldown Rotational: Corkscrew Bridging: Plank Walk Up

Each workout is going to be pretty long since I am still trying to keep to my three times a week lifting schedule and each workout includes all these exercise plus a 5-minute warm-up, a mobility circuit and a lifting circuit.  I hope I can keep to three times a week but if the workouts drag on too long, I may have to switch to a four-time a week program.  

I had hoped to try a CrossFit class last Thursday but Z2 got a pretty bad respiratory virus and had difficulty breathing.  We ended up at the hospital for 2 nights and I missed the class.  I was kind of bummed about that but very happy that my baby felt so much better after his hospital stay.  I guess I will try a CrossFit class once I'm done with the 12 weeks of PT.  

So here's what the week looks like in terms of fitness:

Sunday:	Long-ish run in 2:2 work:rest intervals (for the duration of the Paleo challenge, I'm going to forego 1-2 hour runs in favor of shorter, interval runs
Monday	PT workout A--short cardio such as skipping rope (?)--we'll see how it goes
Tuesday	Interval workout and/or yoga and foam roll
Wednesday	PT Workout B--short cardio such as skipping rope (?)--we'll see how it goes
Thursday	Sprints on the track (1:2 work:rest intervals) and yoga
Friday	PT Workout A--short cardio such as skipping rope (?)--we'll see how it goes
Saturday	Yoga/foam roll
