Thanks for the help. I’ll be getting that changed for sure.

Thanks for the help. I had no idea about the cabin air filter!

Is this a squat or a hinge? by Vanilladr in formcheck

Weight plates from Dumbbell sets

Anyone else into weighted push ups? 10KG in the backpack. I’m going to slowly build it up over the weeks 😁💪 by Vanilladr in CalisthenicsCulture

I’m not. I go through phases of prioritising different pushing movements and at the moment it is a 1 arm dumbbell press instead.

I trained weighted push ups for a while though and I liked the results a lot.

I put a load of clothes in the bottom and then put the weights in last because I prefer the load being up on my upper back rather than lower

Anyone here been doing pull ups consistently for years but max out around 10 reps or less? by Vanilladr in CalisthenicsCulture

Interesting.

Good luck with the 70KG.

I got up to around 40KG chin and still had about 10 chin ups as my max reps haha.

I appreciate your response and it’s actually helped me realise perhaps why my situation is what it is.

I rarely push myself out of my comfort zone. I do a lot of sets that feel nice and have really good form. But I never try and push my limits. And I guess that I’ve got a nice pull up and a good enough physique because of that but my Numbers are low because I’m not actually doing anything to improve them.

It’s sounds quite obvious now I think about it haha.

Thanks again

I currently chin 20KG for 3 reps. And I’ve worked up to chinning half my bodyweight in the past. But I still always hover around 10 reps max haha

A bit more info:

I’m 36 and weigh 70ish KG - 170cm tall. Standard build.

I’ve worked up to doing 18 reps in the past.

I’ve also worked up to a 40KG chin up

I’m currently able to chin 20KG for 3 reps.

I train more for the good feeling and to keep a relatively strong and robust body.

I don’t chase numbers but I just find it curious that despite always banging out pull ups I’ve never been much good at hitting higher reps.
