@emdee123 No rest between pikes and pull ups - because I‘m short on time, I‘m trying to squeeze in as much as possible. So it‘s pikes, pull ups, 3min rest, repeat

@emdee123 It depends on the day and the set. So first might be 8, then 6, then 4 or so. Also I was cutting (reps increased towards the 8) but then got sick, therefor stopped cutting until I was recovered, got heavier (so now more at the 3 rep end range). Can be counted as deload, too, I guess...

@dawn16 Thanks :) I actually do rear delt ring flyes. Might not be much but it‘s honest work haha

@davwms Aight, thanks!

@davwms I can‘t do 5 weighted pull ups, I think. I mean, I can barely do 5 bodyweight ones on some days. >.>

@jessica50 Thanks :) I‘m doing 5x3 weighted rn, too, but only twice a week, so I guess, I‘m gonna be much slower.

@yhjmkiop Thank you! Now, I can‘t do 3x8, it‘s more like 8, 6, 5 or so. I‘m also not happy with my form in general but that‘s another story. I‘m now torn between a grease the groove and adding weights approach. Anyway, thanks for the insight :)

@jessica50 How many sets of 3 reps did you do? Like, how do you accumulate enough volume?

@kingcato Worst case is injury, I think. Not sure if this is more likely caused by adding weight or adding volume.

@kingcato Funny because I just read about the russian fighter pull up program which seems to be a grease the groove kind of approach - so high volume, low(er) intensity. Now I‘m torn between those two options 😂

@yhjmkiop Does it make sense, though? With weight I‘ll probably only do 3x 1-3 reps or so…feels like not enough volume? And should I go to failure every time?

@dawn16 So lat pull downs or stuff like that?

@cesthtims Thanks! Sounds very interesting :D

@jes1023 Yes, I‘ll try that! Thanks

@jes1023 Thanks! Supersetting is necessary bc of time issues, sadly.

@mwatkins09 Makes sense, thanks :)

@mwatkins09 Thanks for the insight! I wondered how to incorporate this into my normal routine. Why did sou start with 6 on your second run although you could do more?

@wilco Thanks! My problem with stuff like this is that I don‘t wanna neglect everything else and I‘m also afraid of injuries. But I‘ll look into it!

@exodus20 No, what‘s that? Also I don‘t want to dedicate everything to the pull ups. I just want them to be part of my routine and get better over time 🥲 it works with everything else

@deborah123 I think, we misunderstood each other. I thought you assumed that I do additional stuff after my supersets bc you mentioned core and isolation exercises where I could reduce rest times. I don‘t do those (on upper body days), so I said that I can‘t reduce rest times there. Also, I...
