calisthenics | rest pause | pike pushups

Pike pushups, rest pause
35x9,3,1
20x14,2,1
Bwx19,2,1

So many things. 2 rep increase over Thursday on my top set. Bumping the weight up to 40 next time.

I was about to increase the weight on the BW only, but i attached bfr bands to my arms instead (i have always waited until accessory work). Bubbee, this is what these things were meant for. Making a lighter weight feel heavy. Attempting to do accessory for triceps shoulders and biceps after was harrrdddddddd. When normally i can bang out 30 to 50 reps per exercise in 1min, i found i was getting closer to 10 or 20 with the same tension.

Fun fun experiment. Im very interested to see how it affects subsequent workouts. The ol Nuckols studies imply that they are essentially free volume without lifting heavy. If i can keep adding reps and weight for the mext few weeks id be super god damn happy.
