Help with pull-up and row progression

Hey everyone, I could use some advice on my workout routine. I've been following a bodyweight fitness program since the start of the year and made good progress on pull-ups, going from 0 to 5 reps in a few months (I'm a 42-year-old male). Recently I tried increasing the volume to 6 sets which helped, but it was impacting the rest of my routine. When I went back to 3 sets, my pull-up performance declined. I'm wondering if I should focus more on rows for a while to build overall back strength. I've heard incline rows can help with pull-ups - is that true? My workouts are already pretty long at about 75 minutes. How can I modify things to keep improving my pull-ups without adding too much time? Should I prioritize rows over pull-ups for now? My ultimate goal is to get really good at pull-ups. Any suggestions on how to structure my routine would be appreciated! Thanks!

Tracking Expert Supplement Stacks: New Tool for Health Optimization

As someone passionate about optimizing my health and wellness, I've often wondered what supplements top experts in the field are taking. After searching online, I came across an amazing free resource called Human Performance Junkies. This site allows you to compare supplements by cost and effectiveness, filter by health goals like longevity and cognitive function, and even see which ones are used by leaders like Andrew Huberman and Peter Attia. It's been incredibly helpful for refining my own supplement stack. I'm really impressed by the amount of research that clearly went into building this tool. As a data-minded person myself, I appreciate how it synthesizes information from many sources into an easy-to-use format. I'd encourage others interested in evidence-based health optimization to check it out and provide feedback to help improve it further. Have any of you used Human Performance Junkies or similar supplement comparison tools? I'm curious to hear your experiences and what you've found most useful for your own health journeys.

Need suggestions for healthy soda alternatives

Hey everyone! I'm on week 3 of giving up soda and it's been really tough. I used to drink Coke every day but I'm trying to make healthier choices. Plain water is getting pretty boring though. Does anyone have recommendations for tasty but healthier drink options I could try instead? Looking for something with a bit more flavor that can help satisfy those soda cravings. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

The meditation technique that's helping me manage stress as a busy professional

I've recently discovered Quantum Entrainment meditation and it's been a game-changer for my stress levels. As someone juggling a demanding career and personal life, I was skeptical at first. But the approach is surprisingly effective - you simply observe your thoughts without judgment, noticing the gaps of 'nothingness' between them. There's no pressure to clear your mind completely. Instead, you become aware of a peaceful inner feeling (what they call the 'Eu-Feeling') and learn to access it even in stressful situations. I've found that with regular practice, this calm state becomes my default response to potential stressors. It's helped me stay centered during hectic workdays and challenging personal moments. If you're looking for a practical way to manage stress, I highly recommend giving this technique a try!
