G'day all, after some opinions on how the "best way" to add some paused rep pullups and /or hangs in top or bottom position to my training.
I'm currently following a program of C+P 3 days a week (MHL) which I finish each day with easy strength style pullups: either 2x5, 3x3, 3x5 etc. I've just got a dip belt but found that even with a small amount of weight on it I can't knock out more than around 2-3 reps with a great lockout at the top position. @Karen Smith has this great article (How to Progress Yourself to Your First Pull-up | StrongFirst) which talks about adding hangs even if you can do pullups, but doesn't really mention programming.
This week I did all reps with a 1 second pause in the top position @Body weight, but I'm curious if a better way would be to say, have a "hang day" and just do them instead of pullups.
The C+P is still the main goal, but i like doing pullups and have made steady progress through my current approach, just wondering if there is a smarter way to cross this bridge to weighted reps.
Thoughts?
