Hi everyone.
I've been working on pullup and pushup progressions and have a question about how best to proceed.
The program I've been following calls for working an exercise twice per week building up to 5 sets of 5-15 reps depending on the exercise. Easier variations call for more reps and harder variations have fewer. The problem is that, while my shoulder seems ok, if I push too hard during a workout my form tends to suffer. I thought a 'frequent practice' approach might be more appropriate in this case so I'm looking for advice on what might be the best way to do this? The goal being to increase strength/reps in the exercise and move to the next harder step in the progression.
Thanks.
