It’s only Monday and got it started on a positive note! For the first time pseudo, Planche push-ups and archer push-ups are feeling easier! They felt great today! So great I added more reps and sets!

Each Sunday, I post an update for records I’ve broken the previous week. This is for accountability and to track my progress :) Feel free to comment with any of your new records from the past week too so we can celebrate you 🥳

1 hour and 35 minutes to do 900 Hindu Squats, 900 Calf Raises, 235 Ab wheel roll outs, and 215 Crunches. S*** like this is what comes of staying up late at night on my phone thinking of a challenge to put myself through while my wife smacks me telling me to go to bed! Quick tip… listen to your spouse/significant other and go to bed so you don’t do dumb s*** like this! 🤣🤣🤣

High reps vs low reps isn’t about which one is better. It’s about using the right rep range for the right goal in your calisthenics journey. Most people are training for one (or more) of these: • Getting stronger • Improving a skill • Building muscle while moving better Each of those responds best to different rep ranges. 💪 Low Rep Ranges (1–6) Low reps are best for pure strength and power. • Great for big compound movements like push-up and pull-up variations • High intention and focus on every rep • Useful for breaking plateaus on harder strength-based skills Things to watch out for: • Higher joint and tendon stress if form slips • Easier to ego-lift • Recovery can take longer This is why I usually cap low reps around 6, not 1. You still get strong without beating up your elbows and shoulders. 🔁 High Rep Ranges (15–30) High reps are best for skill efficiency and body control. • More practice = better technique and coordination • Builds confidence through consistency and visible progress • Easier on joints and tendons • Great when the next progression feels too big You also train your mental grit here. Learning to stay relaxed, breathe, and keep moving as reps climb matters more than people think. I rarely recommend going above 30 reps, unless you specifically need endurance for a test. ⚖️ The Sweet Spot (8–12) This is where most people should live most of the time. • Strength • Skill practice • Muscle development • Reasonable workout length If you want things simple, this range works very well. 🧠 The Hybrid Approach I Like Use all rep ranges on purpose: • One main exercise early in the workout: 6–8 reps • Most exercises: 8–12 reps • One finish exercise: 15–25 reps or max reps This gives you strength, skill control, confidence, and progress without overthinking. 📞 Want Help Applying This to Your Own Training?
