Solid. Can recommend investing in a weight vest for Weighted pushup one that is easy to put on. Anything more than 55pounds gets unpractical for push ups but you can get a weight vest which you can attach 45 plates too but you typically need a buddy to put the weight on for you for high weights
Kensui Weighted Vest baby. I got one for Christmas and it’s been a game changer for my push-ups and inverted rows. It is a pain to load the plates by yourself but it’s doable.
Tom, how do you feel about doing sets to failure with 15-60 minutes of rest (grease the groove style)? Do you think a case can be made for every set being 100% quality since you rest so much, or do you think it can be detrimental for some reason? I am asking this because I want my volume day to have a pretty high amount of pull-ups done (10 times my max).
im not him but going to failure every set is gonna create alot of excess fatigue to recover from for little gain. & the whole point of gtg is to stay far away from failure lol. so that doesnt sound like a good idea imo
I have been doing weighted dips and chin ups what would be the best approach to get stronger and bigger. Currently do my Heavy day Monday and Tuesday 5-6 Reps then 1 back off set with 9-10 reps. On my other day I do 60 percent of 1 rep max for dips l basically do my first heavy sets shen im the most fresh and then as im more fatigued i go more moderate reps is this approach fine or should I Change something ?
In my experience the backpack will make you uncomfortable since you are not going to move your upper body naturally, your back can't move freely and your shoulders are carrying the load as well. It is better to load the belt
Tom, I saw the Weighted Calisthenics program video you made..wanted to ask for those of us who want to do weighted dips and pullups for upper body strength does it make sense to add in a day of high rep bodyweight exercises in their routine for strength-endurance ? Maybe like a day of high rep pushups and inverted rows or instead of the hypertrophy training day use strength-endurance ranges eg : 50-100 reps or total reps around that using bodyweight.
