@robg You'd have more time for hobbies n such and your quality of life would be higher.

@robg Take a few days off and then reduce your workouts to 2x per week and see if that improves things. You're probably outworking your capacity to recover. Also, do less strenuous workouts. If you're going to failure, stop going to failure. If you're already stopping before failure, stop the...

@chris1975 That's a fantastic program, you can go far on it. I would not do it 5-6 times per week, but that's because I know my recovery would not allow that A lot of people who babble about variety don't really understand it. If you keep everything exactly the same, day in and day out, you're...

@fullspinzoo One of the best things I learned from some Gymnastic videos were rolling planks. With straight arms (not on elbows) you go from plank, to a side plank, to a back plank, to a side plank, to a front plank again. It's incredibly challenging and requires a lot of stability and strength...

@deborah123 Right now, all I care about is building work capacity, so I think I'll use OG as GPP. I haven't been able to train martial arts since Covid and I'm expecting to go back in January or February, so I'm thinking I'll build my base with OG for a month or two, then hit Never Gymless HARD...

@deborah123 It's fantastic to see you chime in! I was thinking about dropping you a line on r/overcominggravity I pulled out my copy of OG2 and was thinking that if I reduced the strength work to three exercises (push, pull legs) and extended the skill work to include tumbling / jumping /...

@fishermansfriend I'll check out your Instagram later today!

@tessaherrin AFAIK those are just strength trainers and don't involve themselves with shorts preparation at all

@tessaherrin I'm incorporating it into my current workout as the maximal strength work. What I'm wondering is if there are any Calisthenics gurus out there writing plans to build up the work capacity of multiple strength qualities and the cardiovascular system.

@gregswife No worries. You gotta keep those legs in shape for kicking people in half.

@gregswife Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

@dawn16 Lol me, too, brother! Then I figured out that i avoid a lot of injuries if I go into training already conditioned

@dawn16 Hey, another pajama killer! Osss I've got my strength work dialed in, it's the conditioning that's proving harder to incorporate as I normally would. I'm doing this for about an hour each day: Day 1 - strength-based cardio, isometrics Day 2 - maximal strength, weak areas Day 3 -...

Covid sucks. All I did for the last 1.5 years was train for strength and, now that I'm preparing to resume martial arts training, I'm completely unconditioned (and fat, because I kept eating like I was training 10+ hours a week). I did pack on some nice muscle and strength, tho, so at least I've...

@frhi If your frequency is high, keep your sets low. And easy. Focus on generating tension.

@shalom22 Lol nope. Thought I was telling her to juggle things. Thanks, Otto.

@frhi This concerns me a bit. Just remember to recover, even if that means delaying your next workout a day or two.

@dawn16 Username checks out.

@sofialo09 If at any moment you find yourself falling away from this plan, jiggle your plan so that it's got more things you find fun and less things that you're doing because they're good for you.

@frhi That really surprises me. Well, I'm not going to question fitnessfaq. You really have to pay attention to your fatigue. You're teaching your muscles to be stronger, it's a skill for them to generate tension. Fatigue interferes with this skill. If you're doing the same workout every...
