I'm doing a weightless strength routine at the moment:
4x5 pull ups, 1 min rest (-30secs each session)
3x5 Single arm pushups 19" box, reduce height each workout
3x5 Pistol box squats 13" box, reduce height each workout
3x10 Fatboy pull ups on suspension straps with 1 sec pause at top
3x10 Suspended flies
3x10 Rear delt flies on straps
3x 1 minute handstands
3x 10 Glute ham bridges on straps
3x 10 kneeling ab wheel rollouts
2x 1 minute side planks
That looks pretty exhausting, I'm being a lazy git at the moment and doing the following on alternate days. Taking about 25 mins a day, my intention was to do it 6 days a week but in reality I'm missing a few.

3 x press ups to failure
3 x sit ups to failure

and

3 x pull ups to failure
3 x goblet squats to failure

I'll either stick them all on 1 day and do it just 3 times a week or I might go back to the strong lifts 5x5 routine. The garage its packed with stuff at the moment so I can't get in there.
