So...
I completed a full 5RM cycle of the Fighter Pull-Up Program with Chin-Ups, Handstand Push-Ups, Pistols to 12" box, and Hanging Leg Raises. I have been struggling with what I should do next. Should I add weight to my chins or progress to a harder version of pull-ups? Should I increase ROM in the handstand push-up and restart or maybe pick a push-up movement? Should I try to increase the ROM of my hanging leg raise or maybe pick a new abs movement?
The only one that I do not really question is the pistols. I want to get my pistols but the choice of progression is difficult. I want to try and maybe go for banded pistols with full ROM, lowering the box past 12" seems to be almost to the point of full ROM anyways (even with my short legs).
I also thought of doing switching my pulling movement to ring rows and pressing movement to ring push-ups and simply progressing until I cannot progress anymore.
I cannot quite get toes-to-bar with the leg raises so I figure I just bring my legs up as far as my big belly will let me. I really think the toes-to-bar thing is limited due to the size and shape of my stomach. It is slowly being reduced with running / jump rope / walking so that is a positive.
Do you see what I deal with here? My brain won't leave me alone!!!
