- Most important factor in building muscle is total volume. Better to have more overall volume (total reps with time under tension) split over multiple sets than 1 or 2 sets to failure.
- For chin ups, hold at top for 3 seconds and eccentric down for 3 seconds. Contract back as hard as possible.
- Ring dips: Lock elbows at top and externally rotate rings to activate triceps. 1 sec hold at top, 3 second eccentric.
- Rows: 1-2 sec hold at top, 3 second eccentric. Allow shoulder blades to relax at bottom. Keep gluts engaged, pushing hips forward.
- Shoulder push up (pike push up on rings). Good regression of hand stand push up (harder than pike push up on floor). Externally rotate rings at top.
- Rear delt fly. Smaller muscle groups (such as on the back of the shoulder) respond better to higher rep training.
- Tricep dips.
