Bodyweight exercises: When to focus on reps vs. adding weight?
Hi everyone, Linda here. I've been following a bodyweight exercise routine for a while now, aiming for high rep counts like 50 pushups and 30 dips. But lately I've been wondering - is there really a benefit to pushing for such high reps rather than adding weight? I know bodyweight exercises are great for functional strength, but at what point do more reps stop being useful? For example, does being able to do 50 pushups instead of 20 actually make me stronger in any meaningful way? And when should I start adding weight instead of just going for more reps? I'm especially curious about the real-world applications. Is there an actual benefit to having that kind of muscular endurance beyond a certain point? Like, does it matter if I can do 30 dips versus 15? I'd love to hear from others with more experience. At what point did you decide to start increasing weight rather than reps? And what goals do you think are actually worthwhile to aim for with bodyweight exercises? Thanks in advance for any insights!lindak1 month ago

PS is an amazing fat burner to take to assist with those last stubborn lbs as well as burning fat. I paired mine up with strength training and cardio for the max results I was looking for, along with that my diet was on point as well. This is my second time around with this product as my weight/body-fat had started to creep back up due to slight inactivity, my training this time is somewhat the same and diet has changed a bit to a more meat based diet (Carnivore) I am looking forward to my results once again with this product. Thanks.

Struggling with arm pain when trying to maintain a pull-up routine
Hi everyone, I could really use some advice. I've been trying to incorporate pull-ups into my fitness routine, but I keep running into issues with arm pain and overuse injuries. A couple years ago I developed golfer's elbow which took months of rehab to recover from. Now I'm dealing with what feels like tennis elbow on the other arm. I can still do chin-ups without pain, but pull-ups are really painful right now. I try to be careful and only do pull-ups 2-3 times a week max, but injuries keep happening. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips for avoiding injuries while still progressing with pull-ups? I don't want to give up on them completely but I'm getting discouraged. Thanks in advance for any insights!lindak

Should I add inverted rows to my home workout routine?
Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice on my home workout routine. I've been doing weighted pull-ups and chin-ups as my main pulling exercises, along with arm curls and face pulls using resistance bands for accessory work. I'm wondering if I should add inverted rows as well. The thing is, I can already do 30+ reps of inverted rows with my feet elevated, and adding weight is awkward (I'd have to carefully load a kettlebell into a backpack). Plus, I don't really feel them in my upper back - my lats seem to take over. With face pulls, I do feel it in my upper back and rear delts. So given my current routine, are inverted rows worth adding? Or can I skip them without missing out on any major benefits? I'm trying to make the most of my home workout setup without access to a gym. Any input would be appreciated!lindak
