re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer

Hey all, just checking in, still progressing with no resets yet, although I am microloading some of the weight progressions.. Finally hit an unassisted chin up but barely so doing those but still using negatives and static holds and have progressed down to a skinnier band on my assisted chin ups, once I hit 5x5 on that band, I will finally be down to the skinniest band offering the least assistance so all in all, still trudging forward. I Don’t necessarily feel beat up by frequency pushups done 6 x a week but I have been reading articles suggesting that frequency work would be more ideal done every other day because you only grow stronger and the muscles recover when you rest. It’s kind of gotten me questioning if frequency work is better done on less days per week? Your thoughts?

So that would be true if you are doing frequent near max sets. We should be doing frequent sub max sets. They should be causing no cns fatigue and should not be causing a ton of muscle fatigue either.
Our reasons for doing frequent method body weight exercises is to take advantage of the above. Because of the lack of cns and muscle fatigue we can take advantage of neural adaptations and we can use the frequency and exercise selection to strength the joints. Also because we are submaximal we are able to cause small amounts of damage to the muscle very frequently without getting beat up. This allows for you to continue build muscle and strength without getting beat up.
