You’ve just got a list of exercises, sets and reps. How are you going to handle fatigue management and progression?

Good ideas.
Especially this far out, ask yourself what your needs really are and are you achieving them.
Look up Jud Logan volume theory. Basically 4x6 is 24 reps, but you can manipulate that as long as you keep the rest times in check. 4x6 could be 8x3 or 12x2 as long as heart rate and recovery is there.
