BUILD STRENGTH ON ANY BODYWEIGHT EXERCISE,

BUILD STRENGTH ON ANY BODYWEIGHT EXERCISE  – Increase your ability to knock out more reps using the repetition method. If you’ve ever wanted to do more push-ups, pull-ups, or any other bodyweight exercise, this strategy will get you there quickly.

Take whichever exercise you want to improve and do one unbroken set for max reps. Then take that number and multiply it by 2.5 to get your total rep target. Let’s say your max unbroken set of pull-ups is 10. So you take 10 reps x 2.5 = 25. This means 25 is your total rep target. Now your goal is to accumulate 25 strict pull-ups at least 3-4 times a week for the next 4-6 weeks.

Try to accumulate your target reps in your OTHER workouts throughout the week. For example, after each set of squats, bang out 5 strict pull-ups during your rest breaks. Or simply sneak in 25 strict pull-ups anytime throughout your workouts.

The point is, you want to be doing those pull-ups on more than just your upper-body pulling day. So “sprinkle” the reps in throughout your workouts. Whether you get 5 sets of 5, or 25 sets of 1 rep, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you accumulate your target reps of your chosen movement before you leave the gym that day. After 4-6 weeks of using the rep method, re-test your max unbroken set and be amazed as you set a new personal record.
