That's a lot to recommend based on less than a sentence. Sure some of this might be worthwhile to try, but if you just want to work on your upper body strength, you can do a lot less than this. Way more important to just do something with your muscles and experiment a few times a week, a long with increasing the amount of weight over time. Just because someone is trying to gain strength, doesn't mean they don't know how. I've been going to the gym for years, love pullups, vary in strength over time, and have never and will never likely take notes. But for some, that could be your type A thing to do.
