I‘m stuck at 3-8 max reps and the only thing that helps me increase reps is weight loss. I even once or twice got to 10 reps (last ones obv being not with a good form) when I lost the greatest amount of weight.
I want to progress. I‘m stuck in this rep range for 1.5 years or so. I‘m tired of just trying and failing. I used bands to no avail (maybe using them in the wrong way?), I initially got my first chin up by doing negatives but then didn‘t use negatives much more. I‘m seriously considering trying to add weight just to try something different but it doesn‘t really make sense with this low amount of reps, right?
I eventually want to muscle up, so just ditching pull ups is not an option, I guess.
Sorry, I‘m just very frustrated.
24F, ~60kg, 167cm
Edit: split ABCABC rest, so 6x/week -> 2x/week pull ups
Upper (supersets with 3x pike push-ups & pull-ups as first one)
Lower
Core/cardio/handstand focus
To clarify, my upper body days look like this and I do supersets because I don‘t have much time:
Superset 1
6x banded pike push-ups
max pull-ups
Superset 2
max ring dips
12x rows on rings
Superset 3
8x push ups
12x rear delt flyes on rings
I do every superset 3x, then move on to the next one
Rest 3min between each superset
Speed is not consciously altered, so no pausing/explosiveness or anything
Also thank y‘all for giving so much advice![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
