Hello everyone! I’m Stefano from Italy, i have a question about the correct use of double progression for ladders with Weighted Calisthenics exercises.
I’m following this plan with Weighted Pull Ups and Weighted Dips: i’m starting with 5x1/2/3 ladders working to 5x2/3/5 with a certain weight. When i’ll reach 5x2/3/5, i’ll raise the weight and go back to 5x1/2/3.
I train 3 Days a week, following this plan and adding a single rep for a single rung each workout. My question is:
- is it better to add reps to the first ladder till a complete 2/3/5 and then doing the same thing to the following one? for example:
1/2/3
1/2/3...
2/2/3
1/2/3....
2/3/3
1/2/3....
2/3/4
1/2/3....
2/3/5
1/2/3....
2/3/5
2/2/3
1/2/3....
and so on...till 5x2/3/5
- or is it better to add a single rep to each rungs of every ladders till all the rungs have the goal reps? for example:
1/2/3
1/2/3
1/2/3
1/2/3
1/2/3
2/2/3
1/2/3
1/2/3
1/2/3
1/2/3
2/2/3
2/2/3
1/2/3
1/2/3
1/2/3
2/2/3
2/2/3
2/2/3
1/2/3
1/2/3....
and so on...till 5x2/3/5
I hope i wrote everything clear....i’m following, right now, the first progression but i think the second one could be a better idea....
I hope to receive some feedbacks, thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the long post!
