OK..how's this for my upper body routine?

I dunno how often I should be doing this, I think 4 days a week.
Pressups (ladder method - like pyramid but instead of 1-2-3-4-3-2-1 it goes 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 etc.)
Chinups (ladder)
Pullups(ladder)
Situps 4-5 sets
Dips - max

This is my first attempt at making my upper body routine. Tell me if you think it belongs in the bin!!

When you talked about the ladder thing, do you meant that you do 1pressups, then two of them, then three and so on?

If you do then f@#k it. Do sets of 30 or something!

what's the difference between a chin up and a pull up ? is it the way your palms are facing, if so which is which???

also, has anyone tried the POC fitness guide and followed it religiously? because i'm wondering if it is possible to do those increments in MARINE press-ups ? i'm just starting it form scratch even though i can do more, i want to stick to it to maintain soem sort of discipline and to know where i am.

thanks for your help.

Your correct, it's all to do with the grip. Over arm grip with arms far appart, then under arm grip with arms closer together. I don't actually find doing pull ups a problem it's press ups that f*ck me up.

The ladder method seems quite a good way to start out training, however, I think it is best suited to pullups rather than pressups or situps due to the low number of reps done. It is actually quite hard if done correctly with a partner. At the minute I am usually doing sets of 15 pullups and this totally wasted me. The idea is that you can do a high number of reps in a very short space of time thus allowing you to work to a high intensity a couple of times a day and therefore improve quickly. Here is the website which explains it a lot better than me.
