Hello everyone.
I have never run the FPP, but I would like to run the 3RM The Fighter Pull-up Program Revisited | StrongFirst
This is so that I can have a lot of energy when I practice my tai chi / qigong.
Basically planning on running the FPP by itself, with some stretching and breathing exercises thrown in. Might also do some jump rope or really relaxed running. The rest of my daily practice will be tai chi practice and push hands practice with my buddy. I get a lot of work in my legs (and whole body for that matter) from stance practice and working on drills with my buddy.
I know push hands is a pretty controversial subject. I do not mean for this thread to turn into a debate on its usefulness.
more traditional strength training seems to interfere with the practice of tai chi, leaving the trainee "too tight" or "too tired" in most cases.
I thought the FPP may be a good option, as it will improve my absolute strength with minimal time and energy invested. Pull ups also seem to decompress my spine and stretch me out, a big plus.
Any thoughts/ tips/ insight on the FPP or tai chi push hands would be appreciated.
