Aura farming might actually be one of the motivational factors and develop "keeps you in the hobby" mindset.

Even for me, is 1 time max per training week. And sometimes that training week might be 10 or even 11 days due to some other stuff (usually 9 days tho). At times i might skip also, due to more focus on strength / cali stuff. But at least for me, it needs to be done "all year round"....as a general focus coz i prefer to let it maintain and no detrain, and then slowly progress again when time is right. (sort of tortoise and hare story, with me being the tortoise).

The one with rings, how is that even possible........

I believe during bike fitting, the tester also usually does this.

For me, no such biomechanical imbalance.

same.. weekly one max out workout. we old liao cannot recover as fast.
thinking back.. VO2max was the training I needed for the break through last year. taught me and my body that we can run MUCH faster and can hold that pace for MUCH longer. But threshold workouts are much more sustainable

WOW

Explosive and very wide muscle ups. wtf (more difficult than shoulder width)

How I Got Him To 60KG Dips (at 47 and With Heart Issues)​

"I am too old for this"

"I have heath issues, i cannot do this"

"Nope, not in this life, not possible"

 

[WussRedXLi]

2 sets per exercise.

At least now i know/can confirm that this method which i have been doing for the past year really can work and is possible. Not psuedoscience. More like Mike Mentzer mentality.
Getting to failure is number 1 priority. (can get close to failure as well, but issue with most esp beginners is that, you say he say but who confirm and how do you know).

And yes, as mentioned before, solid explosive movements. Really good for strength gains.
Seems like AI agrees.
Explosive reps are generally better for developing raw strength and power by maximizing neural drive and recruiting fast-twitch muscle fibers, while slow reps are superior for muscle hypertrophy (growth) due to increased time under tension. Optimal strength gains often come from using explosive, intent-driven movement on the concentric phase and controlled, slower eccentric phases.


Hope one day i can motivate my kid to do the same too.

"Lacking progressive overload"
"Lacking recovery between sets and between sessions"

Wah didn't knew Hougang stadium so happening. What's up with the hand holding workout?

The girl not bad. Already salivating.

Its serangoon stadium btw.....one of the designated venues for NS Fitness Improvement Training which is the rebranded IPPT preparatory/RT programme so yeah....whatever the PRC saw in the video should be those NS men undertaking the training.

What the....... nowadays the IPT / RT folks very satki looking. Last time not like this, i can confirm.

I need to buck up and not lag behind the youngsters.

Low res, but you get the drift.


ps. Doing/training for dips (1 fella in the pic) actually not that easy for the regular exercising joe. I remember last time yeah.... i could get below 20 for 5k ok sure it was just GPS timing (19 mins ++), but my dips were zero. I started with 5 push ups btw. Of coz, upper body and running (not at a super fast level) not much correlation.....but still.
And yea, i MR-ed 2 decades ago so that's why i really flunk push ups one....no touched upper body at all.

tldr - dips (down to 90 deg bend at elbow, doesnt matter if chest or tricep dip) more difficult than push ups.

Nowadays IPPT prep and RT training damn flexible. Alot of outside venues to choose from so you are not limited to just within army camp. The training programme also more HIIT focused instead of of die die train for the station(s) you fail at aka if you fail 2.4, they just make you run run run non-stop. Also if you dont know, now IPPT test also simplified to just 3 stations nia.
