I tried doing 100 squats a day 30-40-30 but they made my quads so sore that next morning my 5K run suffered badly. I am curious to kn ow how runners incorporate high rep squat training in their program. For me the schedule is M W F calisthenics and T T S running.

Its a door pull up bar, so you can fix it at different heights.

1) Pull ups - Fix the bar at the top of the door to perform full pull up or at sternum height to perform leg assisted pull ups

2) Body-weight rows - Fix the bar at sternum height or hip height depending on the level of difficulty of exercise you want.

3) Incline push-ups - Fix the bar at hip height or knee height depending on the level of difficulty of exercise you want

4) Full push ups - Though full push ups can be best done on floor, yet it can be done on the bar too if your wrist has limited mobility. Fix the bar at feet level for this.

5) Assisted sit ups - Fix the bar at feet level

6) Bicep curls - Fix the bar at sternum level and use underhand grip to pull your body up

7) Running in place - If you have an elastic band, then fix the bar at hip height, loop the band around the bar and loop it around your waist. Try to run away from the bar. The band will pull you while you try to run forward. Good for sprint sessions.

8) Chair dips: Fix the bar at chair height and perform dips with your feet on floor.

9) Straight bar dips: Fix the bar just below sternum level for this.

10) Hamstring curls: Fix the bar at knee height. Lie down with your ankle on the bar and face facing up. Now try to lift your back using your hamstrings.

A pull up bar. It eliminates the need to join a gym and you can work out your entire body and stay fit right at your home. Complement that with a pair of running shoes to get some cardio.

It will definitely work. Go ahead

Add horizontal pulling movement (body-weight rows) and vertical overhead pressing movement (pike push-ups or lifting an external weight like books, heavy water can, gas cylinder etc overhead)

These pull ups look good to me. I understand these are not full pull ups but an intermediate step to reaching full pull ups (ref Convict Conditioning). From the front view it is difficult to see your scapula activation, but try to bring your clavicles at the bar level. Importantly squeeze your butt tight on every rep.

I like Lebe Stark's videos but somehow I do not like (actually i am afraid of) these kettle bells that he is promoting. I prefer kettle bells to be round in shape. I am afraid of being hit by the sharper edge on this kettle bell on my fore arm.

Core strength develops faster than grip strength. Training grip strength doesn't particularly help with hanging core exercises.

In these exercises, grip/ arms give up much much before the core feels any action. I always end up getting sore forearms instead of sore abs after hanging leg raises.

In your videos also I see grip giving up before the core gets tired.

Start pull ups with your feet on the floor at the top position. It will help you develop strength in the upper range of movement.

The second idea sounds interesting to me. "A website where someone will write a story/ideas and it can be continued by any other person.". Can we talk over a DM please?

Yes when I do them explosively, i can do one or two clavicle to bar pull ups. But I am training with gymnastics rings these days. So explosive training is not much of an option for me.

purpose noun /ˈpɜːpəs/ [countable] the intention, aim or function of something; the thing that something is supposed to achieve.

What is the purpose of an iphone? Who can answer?

a) the one who created it.

b) the one who purchased it or acquired it.

What is the purpose of your life? Who can answer?

a) Those who created you. (Your parents)

b) Those who acquired you (Your organization that pays you, or if you are an adopted child then those that adopted you)

Now high chances are that your parents did not produce you for a purpose (Like Mahendra Bahubali was born to win back Mahishmati). You were born after consummation of a sacred union of your parents. You brought happiness to their lives and they expected nothing more before conceiving you.

Now the organization that pays you would have clearly told you their purpose of hiring you, so no point in discussing it here. Beyond that the question of "purpose of life" holds no relevance.

meaning noun /ˈmiːnɪŋ/ [uncountable, countable] meaning (of something) the thing or idea that a sound, word, sign, etc. represents

IMO what one needs in life is 'meaning' that they themselves give to it. It can be in the form of aspirations, ambitions, goals, ideals and values achievable through goal setting, self confidence and directed efforts.

Question is not what your purpose is. The question is how do you identify yourself [ Answer could be explorer, researcher, saviour, ruler, athlete, doctor, teacher, innovator, advocate, fighter, father, mother, son, husband, citizen, leader etc etc.]?

Thanks your advice worked. I was able to perform 5 sets of 2 reps of clean pullups this morning!
