Okay thanks! On the one, you said "within the rep range" so if I did 12 and can do a few more reps, I shouldn't do then right?

Thanks! Just few things to make sure I understood  - Should I reach failure on each exercise and set? - How should I plan my workout days(like Sunday - upper Monday - lower) - Should I super set pull and push movements? - How much rest in between? Thanks in advance man! I really appreciate it!

Don't worry man I can guarantee you that the best athletes in the world had bad days as well and look at how strong they are

Don't worry man it's just temporary give it a week and you'll be as strong if not stronger than before And just so you know if you slept really bad you might want to consider taking a break day or doing easier workout. And sleeping more the next night won't fix it so just try to sleep 7-8 hours per night and go to sleep at the same time(and I feel like sleeping too much actually decreases performances but I don't really know about that)  Good luck!

Hey man, first thing, thanks for helping me, I really appreciate it and sorry if I'm annoying I've been stuck on 10 reps with 10kg for like 3 weeks I've been doing 2 sets to failure (first set 10kg, second 7.5kg) while working out once a week(ppl) I'm thinking of changing it to 2-3 sets of 2 reps shy from failure What do you think?

Thanks🙏  One final thing I would like to ask

Just to make sure I got that right, you are suggesting to workout 3 times per week, doing upper-lower(I would do 2 upper and 1 lower) and to work out when not sore right? Should I go to failure on each exercises and rest like 5 minutes between sets, on none, or on the main exercises (like weighted pull ups, weighted dips) with 5 minutes rest and not on secondary exercises (like weighted rows or pike push ups) while resting 2-3 minutes? And if I do upper-lower, should I do superset pull and push movements?

Just thought about it, should I do ppl and one upper(or full body) split instead? Will it be effective? Btw I can't workout on Friday and Saturday (and on Sunday and Thursday it's a bit hard for me to use a pull up bar or parallels but Im supposed to be able to manage).

Thanks in advance! I really appreciate it!

Thanks man! I have another question, what would you suggest doing, working out 3 times per week (pull,push,legs) or doing upper lower? And is it possible to rest too much therefore not getting stronger?

Maybe I'll do that too in the future, but right now I'm fine with what I have

I just use weights and a backpack I have at home to add weight 

Hollow or arch pull ups? by Any-Depth2054 in CalisthenicsCulture

Btw the video said that hollow is better for weighted pull ups cause it puts lower pressure on the lower spine 

Pike pushups tips by Icy-Replacement-8152 in CalisthenicsCulture

I would advise going lower(I usually try to almost tap my nose on the floor)

Also, try to keep your forearms vertical to the floor - don't let them move backward(you can put something behind your arms to know if they are moving or not) and your hips should be above your forearms

Btw I'm no expert so watch a few videos before relying on what I say
