my new weight for pull ups is 13.75kg / 30lbs.
I have worked up to this in the smallest increments I have here, which is these little 1.25kg / 2.5lbs plates. Rep by rep, slowly adding a tiny amount of weight only when I can clock up 3 sets of 10.
Today with 13.75kg I hit 10, 9, 9.
Maybe in a few weeks I can add another 1.25kg, and do 15kg pull ups...

I hope everyone else is making progress with their pull up training too!

The frame is from this video, working on the "?" Kick.
I thought I was doing OK, but I didn't know I swing my arms around so much 😅
I'll work on turning my hips more at the end next time...

Can you guess what exercise/movement this is?

My current body composition, before lunch. Some how I have dropped about 2kg recently, and think I know what happened.
For the last 20+ years (since my first body composition test at 19 years old at my university gym) the scales show a body fat range between 11-14% .
I think this is ideal for me.

only 15 reps to go then I'll hit 100 jump squats in a row!
This time I have reduced my jump squat interval training, and added isometric squats (horse riding stance) and it seems to be helping A LOT. I should hit 100 in a row in a few weeks

I sit at my desk A LOT, which is bad for my back.
This gentle exercise is nice for spinal erectors, glutes, hamstrings.
You can modify the movement to engage each of these muscles more or less, depending on the range of motion you find comfortable.

It's just an extra 2kg, but it's so much harder. I don't know if I'll be able to hit 100 in a row with 2kg. Definitely not like this. I will need to get a lot stronger, or lighter, or both.
Any tips VERY welcome.

none of my fitness training was a response to the C19 lockdowns / restrictions. During the Covid19 period I was doing martial arts training exclusively, to get ready to meet my American friends in STREETBEEFS OFFICIAL.
It was only after that fight, because of 1 little injury, that I began high rep body weight training. The injury was a busted big toe, which yes, is very small, but it prohibited me from all jogging, running, fast linear and lateral movements (for sparring and kicking drills), and all pivoting (round kick, side kick) and impact for front kick. It's even uncomfortable to punch with a busted big toe.
While waiting months and months for it to heal (and sometimes re-heal from re-injuring it whenever I would test recovery progress), I began the body weight training that I've shared here for about 2 years.
So it wasn't for Covid 19 or lockdowns or anything like that. This current phase of high rep body weight training began as a solution to a busted big toe, and since then I've enjoyed the simplicity, difficulty, progress and athletic results. The experience has been so good that I think most of my training will remain like this until the end.

ok how do I beat 20 pull ups in a row..?
I know my technique isn't perfect, but my range of motion is good, and my cadence is good.
If you can get more than 20 pull ups in a row (and you don't have the compact gymnast type physique!), let me know how you did it!

I had about 12 days break from my training at the start of the month. My new fitness goals are:
- 100 push ups in a row with 2kg
- 100 jump squats in row
- 100 sit ups in a row
- 25 pull ups in a row
I have never achieved any of these with good technique, or with a fixed cadence. I put on some (too much?) weight this year. I don't think it will cause any health issues, but extra weight always makes body weight training more difficult. It can make a lot of athletic pursuits more difficult: combat sports, running / track, gymnastics etc. I'm still not really sure what to do about my weight gain, because my performance and appetite have such a strong correlation. Increased athletic performance = increased appetite = increased weight. I think this isn't a big deal (it's often desired) for guys training in a gym. But it definitely costs performance in body weight training.

I'm guessing this might be how much time I'll need to accomplish them:
- 100 push ups in a row with 2kg - maybe 1 year?
- 100 jump squats in row - 4 to 8 weeks?
- 100 sit ups in a row - 4 to 8 weeks?
- 25 pull ups in a row - maybe 1 year..?
The sooner the better!

Personal example is the most effective way to encourage family and friends with their own health and fitness.

Jump squats are superior to standard body weight squats!

I'm still trying to improve my technique and work my up to 100 jump squats in a row. Today I got 80 in a row again. I'm feeling a lot better after that break from training, and I think i'll hit 100 in a row in about a 4 weeks no problem.
