Introduction
Hi! My name is Tima, I`m from Ukraine. I`m new on Skool. Excited to see what this community is about. I love training, especially calisthenics, been doing it for more than 5 years now (mixing with weightlifting), although I can not do some advanced movements like freestanding HSPU, Planche or Levers, even muscle ups are hard for me. I can do 24 pullups, 50+ pushups in a good form, If you need some stats😃 Plus, I`ve created my own community the other day and want to grow it big. Last few months I`m training on rings and having SO much fun using them. Wanna learn ring muscle up and HSPU. Over the last 8 months gained 8 kilos of pure muscle using weightlifting (in a gym), and when summer came, i started mixing with training outside (enjoying it). Have fun guys!

@Tony Archie Welcome bro!
PLEASE HELP
ive been training for 7-8 months now and im in a giant plateau. I used to be able to do 25 pushups ez, now i can barely do 10. For some background information, I eat a normal amount of protein, i workout a muscle every other day, i do 5 sets till failure of pushups, but im not too active besides calisthenics. Ive been training consistently with rests and everything and I just can't seem to be able to do more reps. Ive scoured youtube and it seems like im doing everything they say. Same thing with pullups too, I could do 11 and now i can only do 7. drop a comment if you have more questions or advice

@Albert Fingernail it is not about deload, which you can do, just decreasing your usual working volume by half the next week. But, what I'm saying is you can try and reduce your absolute working volume a week at all times, just for you to recover faster. You would think that you need 10 failure sets in a week, but everyone usually needs about 1-2 (talking about beginners). And 1-2 sets you can do not to failure. Try doing 2 sets per week per muscle group, one of which you do with 1-3 repa in a tank and last set you do all the way to failure. You can start from there and gradually increase your volume, if you see no progress (usually it takes about 1-2 weeks to see if you can do 1-2 more reps in a single set) I think you just need to recover better between sessions, so that you can see progress again. I deacribed how you can do it above. Thanks and good luck! If you have questions - ask me✌🏼

@Albert Fingernail it only sounds low. But this is the approach pro trainers use when coaching beginners. Our body usually does not need a lot of volume to grow. Especially beginner body. I did not say that you should increase volume every week. I only said that IF you don't see progress in your reps in about 2 weeks, you can try and increase volume a bit. May be that for your body it is low and you need more sets. But as I see it, you just do alot more than needed. But, I don't know any other derivative: do you eat enough protein, do you sleep well, what is your calorie intake to your body weight, how many reps in tank are you doing, how is your training looks overall in a week. There is a lot, so I don't know if decreasing volume would work for you. So you need to try. Plateaus are not a sentence) Just try to learn something new and incorporate it into your training. Good luck, Albert
