@john0733 Thank you!! Cardio is 1h on the elliptical, mostly. I love HIIT but don‘t do it because of the reasons you mentioned. I also go for a walk every day, so I get my low intensity training but the cardio session is with a higher (not highest, though) intensity.

@sheedo Aight, thanks!

@sheedo How do you make sure you can actually do the reps, though?

@walterroger Absolutely!

@walterroger Thank you! I think I can live with that, just doing pull ups instead of the rows. Because it doesn‘t change my routine too much. I think, it‘s a good start. Thanks for encouraging change :)

@walterroger I actually do the rows to build more strength for the pull ups and because everyone says you need horizontal and vertical pull stuff. So…I don‘t even really care about the rows. Do you suggest that I just switch them and do pull ups instead?

@walterroger Thank you. Yes, it is simple but not easy. I‘m a perfectionist and dropping exercises feels as if I‘d drop the optimal thing (even if it isn‘t actually optimal). Just hard to break the habit, you know? But I‘ll do it. I wanna progress.

@walterroger Thanks! I superset because of time efficiency, not because I want to :( What‘s a good weekly volume to hit with the pull ups?

@blondie2 Okay, got it. But I feel like I‘m always training at high intensity but low volume, so I should rather train for volume, I think

@blondie2 What does that mean?

@blondie2 When I can only do like 5 body weight pull ups? How to get enough volume, then?

@muslimseekman29 Interesting. Scapulae might be an issue - grip strength is definitely not, though. Thanks for the suggestions :)

@muslimseekman29 I don‘t know. I ditched them a long time ago tbh

@sheasapothecarys Yes, I‘m trying to decide what‘s best 😬

@goldnagel Thank you, this somehow encouraged me to make a change. I‘m actually so afraid of changing, it‘s stupid. I don‘t even know what my priorities are sometimes. I just want to do everything which is, as you said, impossible. But just interacting with all the people here gave me some more...

@goldnagel Thank you :) I really don‘t have the time to not superset, though…I feel like I‘d neglect so by doing single sets :(

@hackthegibson Yeah, still, it‘s a lot. But I like protein bc it keeps me full. Aight, will do :)

@hackthegibson That‘s what I was thinking. I‘m also doing six sets of rows per week, that might also kinda count for the pull ups in terms of back focused hypertrophy? Also don‘t worry about the protein. I‘m having trouble decreasing it because I‘ve gotten used to high protein food but my...

@dawn16 Will do! I have history of injuries and am extra cautious!

@tiffaz Okay, thanks
