I'm interested in whether doing the fighter pull-up program with just BW can add extra muscle.
I am aware that there is Stefan Hedengren's program that utilizes the fighter pullup program for mass, but involves using added weight. However I currently only have my BW and a bar at disposal for the next month (otherwise I would do his program!).
Also, I'm already in slightly higher-rep ranges. I use neutral-grip chins (doesn't aggravate my wrists/shoulders), and my rep max is about 15 (going to test this week). With higher rep sets being the case I gather rest breaks are fairly high, with 3mins+
So can the program, with higher-rep BW sets but longer necessary rest periods still add muscle mass? I'm sure it might not be the optimal program for building muscle, but would like to add a little mass while increasing my rep max.
Thank you in advance!
