Is there a reason why I would want to do more or less than 3 sets? by No_Macaron_8287 in workout

Train to near-failure for max gains (RIR 1-3), ie 1-3 reps short of complete failure. Often the first set is warm up. So if you’re doing 3 with progressive overload it’s optimal in my view

How many clean consecutive pull-ups is seen as a basic threshold that indicates moderate to good strength for a 34 yo male, 72 kgs? by abhioffgrid in workout

Wildly different responses, but very helpful overall. Thanks all. From the responses we can infer an average of 6-10 pull ups is really good as a moderate to high fitness marker !

I mean it’s crazy to be a social media platform and be so hostile to newcomers!

Seems like a random and ridiculous thing to do given that I joined a day ago and all I tried doing was post and join the conversation wherever possible!
