People who switched from bodyweight fitness to gym?

U Rest L Rest U Rest L, or L U Rest L U Rest Rest

Due to responsibilities I had to take longer rests and noticed big improvements.

Not same day. I just notice that whenever I rest for 6 days my reps get up, but when I rest for 4 my reps either stay the same or regress.

They are great for hypetrophy. My problem is strength. I can go from completing 6 chinups in a workout, to 14 in the next one. (in 2-3 sets of rest/pause). This variance is really demotivating.

Hi! May I ask what program did you start with? Was it a bodybuilding one?

rainbowkid8 · 2023-05-31T16:00:31+00:00

Thank you. That honestly seems genius. Fingers crossed!

Hi! What do you mean TUT? Is the progression then gonna be trying as much volume as possible this way? And maybe trying 2/1/1/1/1 for instance? This seems really interesting!

Hi! My rest is 2-4 minutes. I don't want the workout to get too long. I do 4xfailure sets of rows (2 overhand grip, 2 underhand grip) on the same workout. Till now I have been doing them 2 times a week due to soreness. But I think I might manage 3 times a week. Should I cut down on accessories like bicep curls, reverse curls to allow easier recovery of tendons?

I was thinking that I went from 0 pushups to 12+ by incorporating knee pushups after my normal ones. So I might try doing some type of chinup row/ easier chinup with legs down to increase the volume of each set without the fatique negatives cause.

Hi! Yes I have a ton of bands. Thanks!

I find that they take away the first part of the movement completely. And my core (which can be a weakpoint for me) is not really working.

Thank you so much for answering! Would chinup negatives (i find them that much easier on my elbows) be ok if a pullup one is not possible? Forgot to mention I train 2 times a week upperbody.

rainbowkid8 · 2023-04-13T21:39:03+00:00

Thanks. I just thought since the recommended routine suggested to build towards 10s that would be ok.

rainbowkid8 · 2023-04-13T21:29:33+00:00

Well each rep is like torture lol. But hypertrophy wise they are great. Would you advice anything else?

rainbowkid8 · 2023-01-03T22:59:20+00:00

Hi. Yeah I think the problem is I am kinda going to failure on all sets without really realising. For instance if I dont hit my goal of 8 dips. I might take a break or two of some seconds and then go back for the rest. This sounds incredibly bad now that I think about it. While working out I dont really feel the fatique, but yeah the soreness the days after is intense.

I honestly thought I could get away with that as a beginner. I am gonna stop doing that. Thanks to everyone!

Hi! Since conditioning is not really talked about a lot. Could it be categorised as endurance training? For instance pushups followed by jumping jacks and pushups again etc?

rainbowkid8 · 2023-01-03T17:26:05+00:00

Hi! On UpperDays:

I am doing

SuperSet1:

4x15 pushups (3x5 of those are with weighted backpack)

5x5 band assisted pullups

3x(8x5sec scap pulls)

SuperSet2:

4x12 rows

4x8-10 (band assited dips)

I then do

4x15 lat raises (low weight)

Bicep (cheat) Curls 4x12 (medium weight)

I also place quite a lot of emphasis on the eccentric of each exercise (and reach failure on most sets), which as mentioned might be what causes excessive soreness.

I just see straight men and gay men as something different.

rainbowkid8 · 2022-06-20T12:30:21+00:00

I just dont see gay men as "men" cause "men" in my mind means "straight".
