Bodyweight GTG

[mprevost]

I want to increase max force in weighted pull-ups and weighted dips. (I train strength 3 times/week)
But also I want to increase muscular endurance in pull-ups, dips, push-ups. (I train GTG almost every day in pull-ups and push-ups)

Is that enough though? What would you propose?

I'm starting to think that I should incorporate 3 times/week mechanical drop sets in pull-ups and dips without hitting failure, for muscular endurance and fatigue/lactic acid tolerance.

Focus on strength until you stall, then switch to muscular endurance until you stall, then switch back. We had great success with this method at the US Naval Academy.

I have had success with other combinations, too. Barbell deadlifts and Kettlebell snatches or swings, for instance.
