@mjwise Haha you know that’s funny. Your legs do get at least SOME training. Like unless you just don’t do anything, then they have to take you up the stairs or a hill or help carry something EVENTUALLY. Meanwhile your arms canindeed get quite frail if you are a normal daily person.

@prayerdon If you are at THAT many reps, I'd add intensity and continue progressing. Such as doing them on rings with your kneepits on the ring straps. That will increase your maximal strength and build more capacity for endurance.

@fromgenesistorevelation That hasn’t been my experience at all. I don’t think that’s a good claim to make because one, that might be different for different people and 2... Im not so sure there. Knee pushups seem have a more similar arm/torso angle. Meanwhile, incline ends up having your...

@mjwise Or dancing the Macarena since your arms go out in front of you like that haha.

@noeljack I would take that with a grain of salt. Slow speed lifting may have some iffy effects on your gains if you’re going for strength or power. Also the quoted portion here seems to assume that you can’t or won’t decelerate near the top. You can explode up from the bottom and begin to...

@veni Not a bad start! Something I would suggest is focusing on six MAIN movements. Vertical Push + Pull, Horizontal Push + Pull, and Squat + Leg Curl. If you include all of those, you will get strong and fit AND you will basically cover the entire body.

@mjwise Exactly. Like there are exercises to be more particular on but a basic Pushup progression likely isn’t it. At that point, you’re so weak that you can probably go do rows and your Pushups will just magically improve 😂😂😂

@seekshare CONGRATS! That's a huge accomplishment. To be able to move your entire bodyweight with only your arms is GREAT!

@oort7 I would try using Mixed Grip Chin-Ups with this form here. What that will do is allow you to use the maximal level of intensity you're capable of at each point. For example: The Mixed Grip Chin will let you perform those few inches without assistance and then add assistance back when...

@youngdisciple1 You're welcome! Do those grips allow you to basically rotate your hands into different angles? Basically whatever is fine for your arms? :D

@fromgenesistorevelation What aspects do you find to be shit compared to an incline Pushup? That doesn’t mean much. It doesn’t mean you can’t still get stronger with knee pushups. That’s downright untrue. Your elbows can still go back with knee pushups. I know because I’ve had trainees do...

@aaharpervas Agree with the other comments about the doctor. It's better to check and be sure.

@youngdisciple1 Looks pretty good to me. For the Pushup variation, I'd use Leaned Forward Pushups. That will take you towards your first Planche Pushup. For the Rows, I'd go towards Bodyweight Arc Rows. That will take you towards your first Front Lever. Also, if your elbows hurt, try doing...

@anneshy Depends on how I feel at the beginning. Sometimes, you vacation for the exact right amount of time and the first session back is amazing. In that case, I keep it normal. But if not, I'll ease into it like you do.

@this_dot Good read for all the people freaking out about knee pushups being bad etc 😂

@pawel There may still be a bit of different in terms of getting more FULL days off in terms of recovery rather than training a little bit each day. But that's simply something to try out.

@ehr I probably suggest using two days rather than three. Three could work, but some people have a hard time recovering from three training days a week. Two will probably work and ensure that you don't have overuse injuries.

@jasonf That's something I experience too when I perform OAC Eccentrics in an L-Sit. Right before that point, I drop my legs so that I can pass that part without pain.

@lynnn I'd probably suggest using Antagonistic Pairs and turning it into an upper lower split. That will let you get everything in with a bit of a more flexible schedule.

@roland7777 There is a saying: "Fatigue mask fitness". It's probably part of the case here. Since you are doing so much, you are probably always at least somewhat fatigued. So you won't perform as well as you could if you were getting more rest.
