I'm currently doing a 4-day training split as I get settled into my new job/city/routine, and sessions are being kept around an hour or slightly less. As I get my work routine settled in I'll have a better idea of how I need to adjust things and if I want to take a different training approach during Fall (when work will be considerably busier).

1: Primary Squat Day - Alternates between %-based competition squat, and squat variations based on RPE (SSB, front squat, pauses, etc). This also includes squat/deadlift assistance work.

2: Primary Pressing Day - Alternates between %-based and RPE-based pressing movements (bench press, floor press, etc). This also includes upper body assistance work.

3: Dynamic Squat Day - Waves of dynamic effort squatting (typically in briefs), as well as a lower body assistance work.

4: Overhead Press Day - Alternates between %-based and RPE-based overhead pressing movements. This also includes upper body assistance work.
