    Stuck at 4-6 pull-ups for months

    @godsblessings0209 Believe what you want to believe. I’m just saying science isn’t the holy grail people like to pretend it is. We are not able to do perfect science at this point in time, maybe give it another few hundred years and we could. Use it as guidance, not as the absolute truth...

    Stuck at 4-6 pull-ups for months

    @godsblessings0209 All these “experts” have been wrong a dozen times. From protein recommendations, volume recommendations, going to failure. I could go on and on and on on things that were “proven by science” and then later found out to be wrong. It is the process of science. And exercise is...

    Stuck at 4-6 pull-ups for months

    @jabba1495 Going to failure 3x a week is really way more than you should honestly. The more frequently you train a muscle the less you should go to failure. If you care about the science. Then basically going to failure is very taxing on the body to recover. I believe it was 48 hours minimum...

    A bodybuilder's experience going from weights only to calisthenics-based training

    @fuegopentecostes 93kg at 172cm is not really unhealthy. It is some extra stress on the joints, but in my opinion the benefits of being fit out weights that. Keep in mind people tend to underestimate their bodyfat. And the more muscular you are the better you look at higher bodyfat levels. He’s...

    Busy Dad Program Trial Run

    @trogdortheterrible Some great results in 3 months! I know this is bodyweightfitness. But I’d recommend giving kettlebells a try. They’re very fun to train with and lots of movements make you strong in your entire body. Kettle bell swings, Turkish getups, kettlebell snatch, clean and press...

    A bodybuilder's experience going from weights only to calisthenics-based training

    @betaninja Most people who start at the gym won’t achieve what he has either. So that isn’t a fair point. How many people do you see deadlifting 500 pounds in a commercial gym? My guess it’s less then 5% of the current gym population. And that’s discounting the fact that those who have less...

    Doing the RR twice a week for 6+ years: a review (average guy, 32yo)

    @egspirit That’s good to hear man! It’s easy to get caught up in the very fast progressions some people make and compare yourself to it. I used to train 6x a week and was one of those people. I did enjoy the process and working out. But never looked forward to it much like I do with yoga and...

    Doing the RR twice a week for 6+ years: a review (average guy, 32yo)

    @egspirit Good for sticking to it man! That’s the most important part. Slowly building on yourself. It doesn’t quite sound like you enjoy the workouts that much or care about progressively challenging yourself much. So I do have to wonder. Why not try a sport like bouldering, yoga, squash? Or a...
