Comment on Hacking strength: Gaining muscle with least resistanceparent

Comments

You can drop load by putting a knee down during a pushup.

Pullups I don't know how to adjust.

Or put a chair or stool out in front of you and rest one leg on it. Try to take as much weight as possible with your arms, basically just resting your leg on the chair as opposed to actively pushing off against it. As your arms get stronger you'll naturally use the chair less until you can remove it entirely.

Also nice to essentially do a pull-up strip set. (Get a few extra pull-ups in when your muscles are fatigued and can no longer lift your whole weight.)
