Have decided I want to work this year on improving my chin (the exercise ), ultimate goal being a double bodyweight chin and the overhead press (mostly for balance against the chin strength work)
For this goal want to incorporate several modes of chin/overhead press training into my programm:

- limit strength (concentric) training 1-6 reps @ 85-100% 1RM
- isometric training 6sec @ 100% 1RM
- eccentric training 1-6 reps @ 100-120% 1RM
- strength-speed training 3 reps @ 45-55% 1RM
- hypertrophy training 8-12 reps @ 60-80% 1RM

Training freqency will be:
3 times/week for strength training (which will be chin or chin variations and overhead press variations)
1-2 times/week for hypertrophy training

My question is on how to organise all those modes in a programm.
There are 3 options I'm considering:
(I also do lower body work of course but have omitted that part of the programm for clarity)

1) periodised

week 1: hypertrophy training higher training density, lower intensity
week 2: hypertrophy training lower training density, higher intensity
week 3: strength training: limit strength & strength speed
week 4: strength training: eccentric training & isometric training

repeat

2) conjugated

monday1
speed strength
hypertrophy pull

wednesday1
limit strength
hypertrophy push

friday1
eccentric & isometric training
hypertrophy pull

monday2
speed strength
hypertrophy push

wednesday2
limit strength
hypertrophy pull

friday2
eccentric & isometric training
hypertrophy push

repeat

3) complex

monday
eccentric strength exercise
isometric strength exercise
limit strength exercise
strength-speed exercise
(repeat 1 time)

wednesday
eccentric strength exercise
isometric strength exercise
limit strength exercise
strength-speed exercise
(repeat 1 time)

friday
eccentric strength exercise
isometric strength exercise
limit strength exercise
strength-speed exercise
(repeat 1 time)

repeat

Which option do you guys think would be best and why? Or if you think they would be equally good, what would be the advantages/disadvantes of each option?

My own thoughts so far: option 2 seems most practical, but what I consider a disadvantage is that each strength-training mode is only practiced 1 time/week. My feeling is that for me practicing each mode 3 times/week reinforces motor learning more, which would be the case in option 1 and 3. But those option have their own disadvantages so haven't decided yet and would appreciate any input!

If you read this far, thanks for your patience
