My calisthenics journey.
Failures are just opportunities to learn.

8 reps 15lb assisted pull ups today. Goal is 10 reps of 15lb assisted, then 10 reps unassisted. I’m likely already able to do 15lb unassisted, but my nervous system is still recovering from a very stimulating week with work and holiday stuff. I’m very happy with 8 reps!

The real goal is getting my first muscle-up. However, I told myself to achieve 10 pull ups, first, as a strength prerequisite. What I didn’t realize is, I’m also building body awareness by paying attention how I want my body to do the pull-up. Forearms and rotator cuff are key stability points and are cues to start the movement. Mind-muscle connection is important to get that satisfying pull with every rep. And I also realize that with time, I’m becoming familiar and comfortable with holding my own body weight on the bar.

I know that the muscle-up is a very different move, but I’ve gained so much wisdom going through the journey to 10 pull-ups. And it’s provided me with some lessons to take into my mindset in life, too.

Big thanks to @medicao_massage for working closely with me over the past 5 months to target my weak hip flexors, lower back pain, and all the other issues. Seeing a difference in ease of execution since I’ve been strengthening them specifically over the past 5 weeks.

Slowing down the pull up motion to focus on form, which means volume takes a hit overall. BUT, this takes momentum out of the equation without a doubt and ingrains form into me as I get back into calisthenics. My legs swing slightly at the bottom on the return, but the pause ensues this isn’t transferred to the next rep.

I’ve been particularly fixated on full ROM for all dynamic exercises, including weight lifting. I noticed this gives me overall better gains, especially with lat pull down. So I am applying it here as well.

The intentional pause at the top makes sure that my muscles are working at the end of my ROM and it’s not due to upward momentum. Not sure what happened in the 2nd rep, however, as I wasn’t able to go as high when I paused. My guess is that I didn’t squeeze my back enough at the start of the rep. I’m open to feedback. Thoughts?

Benchmarking. My explosive pull ups are more like baby farts 💨

Currently my max pull up is 5 full ROM, as in keep going with chin past the bar until I max out, with chest as close to bar as possible.

Curious where my front lever was at. Almost there, but still isn’t an advanced tuck front lever.

After this season, I’ve decided I’m not doing pull ups at home anymore. I need the leg clearance so that I can lean back to engage my back more without bending my knees.

And damn only at 6 pull ups…

I guess I’m sorta doing calisthenics again. Mostly focused on lifting and bulking up for the next few months, but I’ll transition to lifting to supplement calisthenics eventually
