Most tasks cannot be repeated within the same week. Some are the same idea, but different activities. Pulling Doubles can be done everyday if that’s what you want to do to get in your lifestyle tasks. But Cashing out a workout with 100 sit ups can only be performed once. Each time you perform the same task try to beat the previous score or add weight in some way. Write down all numbers in your journal so you have an idea of how and where to make improvements! Feel free to suggest something or ask about other tasks you can do! Starting Strength Progression –
If you wish to work on strength, but are unsure of how to do it. Here is a simple 3 Day Breakdown of what you can work on, Pre or Post Workout. Day 1.
3 x 5 Back Squats Begin with 60% of best
3 x 5 Strict Press Begin with 50% of best
1 x 5 Deadlift Begin with 60% of Best.
Day 2.
3 x 5 Back Squat Add 5-10lbs from previous
3 x 5 Bench Press Begin with 60% of Best.
Chins and Dips 5 x 5
Day 3.
3 x 5 Back Squat Add 5-10lbs from previous day.
3 x 5 Strict Press Add 5-10lbs from previous day.
3 x 5 Hang Power Clean begin with 50% of best Clean.
This progression can be done for the entire 5 weeks and help you work on form and build additional strength. If you choose to do this progression each session will count as a lifestyle. Add weight every day you perform these tasks.
Pull Up/Dip/Handstand Push Ups Progressions –
Each of these can be done in addition to the workouts.
Pull Up – Perform 1 Set to failure (With or without assistance)
12 Reps Static hold Chin over bar and tempo down. (5 count)
3 x 20 Banded Rows or 3 x 20 Upright rows, or 3 x 10 Single Arm KB High Pulls. Alternate every time you perform.
Dips – Perform 1 Set to failure (With or without assistance)

Handstand Push Ups – This one is more tricky.
If you have them, but need practice. Practice handstand holds and tempo to the mat. Use extra mats to work on kipping.
Elevated Push ups work as well (Feet on box)
Have a friend assist you by holding your feet and helping you lockout in the Handstand position.
Develop better overhead strength and inverted comfort ability with Overhead Shrugs, and Push Presses.

TL;DR
Move around before or after the workouts to get lifestyle points.
Track it on your tracker. There should be no need to add tabs. Thanks!
