@jabba1495 It definitely provides more frequency and sub maximal practice than your current 3 day split. Sounds like a great idea

@jabba1495 Makes sense. If you're feeling good in the joints, and not feeling under recovered, try adding a bit more sub maximal volume

@jabba1495 Just to get the volume calculations down on paper: On day 1, you're doing a maximum 18 reps total On day 2, you're doing a maximum of 30 reps total On day 3, you're doing 5 sets of ladders going all the way up to 6? So 6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21, multiplied by 5 sets, for a total of 105...

@johnblessed I agree. Time is often the biggest constraint with low intensity training, despite their benefits

@johnblessed Different strokes I suppose. I've anecdotally always felt that more volume did more for my pullups, and technique + joint health was a lot easier for me to maintain with sub maximal sets. If I had to cap my volume at sub-100 a week, I'd probably use weighted pullups to get more out...

@greg67 I'd aim for 2. Hell, even more. I love using stuff like ladders ( 1 pullup, rest, 2 pullups, 3 pullups, etc ) cause it's all about getting quality reps in, and you even warm up your joints up with the first few sets before getting to the later higher reps. Using an object like a...

@greg67 You say you train pull ups twice a week, for 3 sets of at most 8 reps. At best, you do 48 pull ups a week ( let's round it up to 50 ), minimum of 18 Try increasing your weekly volume. Train your normal days, then sneak in a set on another day. Then the next week, another set on that...

@churchtexter A few points: - Military people aren't superhuman, anything physical that is done in the military can be done with civilians, everyone who's entered the military starts as civilians - There's plenty of video footage of people doing upwards of 50 burpees in a row with no ill...

@trogdortheterrible Good shit mate. Even though I don't follow the exact program, the idea of 20 minute burpee sessions has done wonders for my conditioning. I'm only up to 140 six counts, cause I'm doing 7 burpees EMOM, and that's quite tough right now. Do you think you'd be able to run this...

@helexzy High rep bodyweight squats are great, lots of benefits, if one is willing to really spend the time and pain threshold to do potentially hundreds of them 80 was probably too much for you right now. Get plenty of food, general movement, and sleep. Then try it again, and see if it had the...
