I spoke to you about this process previously. Have a total rep goal.
“Today, I do 30 reps of chins”. Cool. Do as many sets as you need to get there.
Next workout: do it in fewer sets.
When you can do it in 4 sets, up the rep goal and repeat the process.
I’m doing “same but different” in my own training. Every day, I do 3 sets of chins. Right now, it’s 19-19-18. At the end of the week, I add 1 rep total, so next week will be 3x19. After that week, it will be 20-19-19.
In a year, I’ll have added 52 reps to my daily total. That’s significant growth.
Alright I will try that. Thanks. Since I am at 30 I will go for 31. For your pullups do you always go balls to the wall to squeeze out the last rep or is it just “pretty hard”?
Regarding the frequency: just depends on your goals. For me, this is just about accumulating volume and removing it from my actual training. I do my chins outside of training: once in the morning, once around lunch, once around dinner. If you’re training them for the sake of hypertrophy, the frequency you have is fine. If for strength, higher frequency and further away from failure would be more ideal.
