Do you do all that each time you work out! Or are the '/'s alternative exercises?

How many sets/reps do you do and at what cadence (speed)?

Good luck lil Fishy; soon you'll be a shark!

Yeah, the / are my alternatives. I'm doing about 3 sets of between 6-10 depending on exercise. Not really thought about the speed too much yet, although it's not a straight up and down affair. I'll see if i can work on that. Is it 2/2 thats recommended?

Pullups are going well, I could only do 1, 3 weeks ago, now I'm upto 6!




That is a LOT of sets then! You cannot be truely putting in 100% effort into every set if you are doing so many. I'd say do 2 sets maybe per exercise and work at a rep speed that is slow enough so that there is no jerk or swing in the movement and you arent rushing through the tougher bits of the movement; don't pause between reps, you want constant tension on the muscles. Aim for a 3/3 cadence perhaps and really try you're hardest to get as many reps as you can; go beyond the point at which you're mind wants you're body to give to and aim for that extra rep everytime; push for 10secs or more to really try and get that last rep or half rep.

Well done on the pullups mind! :-)
