    Still struggling to nail the muscle-up, but I'm convinced that weighted pull-ups and explosive or high pull-ups are definitely helping me get there. For the past couple of weeks, I've been working on high pull-ups for that muscle-up power, and jumping muscle-ups on a slightly higher bar to practice the transition. I'm definitely making progress and feel closer than ever, but that feeling of "almost there" has fooled me before, so I can't help but doubt myself a little. It's not like I'm starting from scratch, though. I can easily do 15 pull-ups with clean form, but my back surgery definitely took a bite out of my younger-day athleticism, which makes some complex moves tricky now.

    • @funwithcalisthenics
      @funwithcalisthenics  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The “almost there” feeling is such a tease. Sounds like you are doing everything right, so I’m sure it’s just a matter of time. Although, having had back surgery it’s incredible that you’ve come so far already. I regret not getting into this decades ago, like you, I’m sure we could have nailed it in our younger days. The fact that we are still working out puts us in a position of athleticism far beyond the majority. So we are doing ok. 😊

      @@funwithcalisthenics I appreciate the encouragement. I'll definitely let you know if I ever achieve that muscle-up. I plan to subscribe to your channel as well. I genuinely wish you success as a calisthenics TH-camr. Your dedication, strength, and skills are truly impressive. It's notable that your achievements stand out even more given that you don't have a gymnastics background, and almost zero people at your age can do the muscle-up (except those gentlemen with some sort of gymnastics background in their younger days).
      Now, I'll be honest. I'm not really into calisthenics, although I've incorporated push-ups and pull-ups into my routine for a long time. I believe that calisthenics is better suited for strong young people and may not be suitable for those dealing with back issues, such as myself. Despite having to give up certain sports, including my favorite, basketball, following my back surgery, there's something about the muscle-up that won't let me go.
      Anyway, keep up the excellent work, and be sure to take care of yourself. I've heard that injuries from at-home exercises have been on the rise since the pandemic. No need to rush things. Let's just enjoy the journey.

    I’ve found weighted pull-ups to be beneficial in a well-rounded pull-ups progression training program.
    One of my favorite weighted pull-ups workouts is weighted single progressions, consisting of about 8 singles with each set consisting of a heavier weight leading up to a final set close to a weighted one rep max effort. I allow plenty of recovery time between these rounds to be strong fresh, much like heavy barbell training.
    Then, after a final recovery, I bang out a final set of BW max reps pull-ups, enjoying the lightness of my BW from having fooled my muscles and gravity with the weighted work.
    I’ve used this approach for other lifts, including the barbell overhead press lift that led me to a 175-lbs. single rep that I managed about 15 years ago.
    Wishing you the best. Keep your video recorder in because 30 is right around the corner and you don’t want to miss it.

      Love the gravity less feel of BW pull-ups after the weight comes off. It’s awesome. I’ll be changing my weighted pull-ups program again soon, and adding more weight. Looking forward to seeing how this goes in 2024.

    Nice job, Antony! I’ve used the dip belt for years. It’s a very valuable piece of equipment. If you don’t mind me saying, you’re not hooking your dip belt up correctly. That’s why it feels like the weight is always just about to slip off. You want to loop the chain through the loop on the other side of the belt, then loop it through the plate, and then bring it back up to the other side and connect it. You will end up with a triangle of chain, the weight will actually pull the belt tight around your waste, and the weight won’t be hanging so low that it swings all over the place. All the best.

    Nicely done on the weighted pullups. I'm no expert but wondering if instead of going for progressive quantity on the weighted pullups and instead go for progressive weight with lower reps. That's how I do it anyway and massive difference. I've read overtraining can lead to negative results. As always though, very inspirational. And when is the video of those back muscles coming?!!

    • @funwithcalisthenics
      @funwithcalisthenics  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Haha… I’m no expert either, but this is my thinking. My focus right now is building my max reps (without weights) so doing numerous reps with some weight added I think is the way to train. Having said that, after this year, and hopefully hitting 30 reps, I do plan to adopt a weighted program more like yours.
      Heavy weight, low reps. Really looking forward to starting that. As for my back muscles, I’m sure they are there somewhere, but I think need to lose a few pounds of fat before showing that off!

I have a very weak spot at the top of my pull ups so I’m focusing on lat pull downs where I squeeze and hold at the top with full depression and retraction so chest to bar basically.

    Normally with isolated exercises, they say you can shoot for even 20 reps and get gains. You just need more than 5 sets per week. However does the compound nature of the pull-up mean that you need to add weight to keep reps lower?
