Advice required

Hi,

I am experiencing some issues with RC PE3, step 5, my arms get tired before i am able to finish.

I can obviously post a form review, but i should say that i have always struggled with pulling exercises, in fact i can do pull ups, but only untill a certain number of reps (5), that´s why i was trying to building strength and/or mobility with these 'easier' version of pulling, but it seems that i have hit yet another wall.

I´m on these particular step for 6months. 

I would appreciate any advice you can offer me.

Thanks,

Tiago

Hey Tiago,

Can you submit form checks for RC/PE1, 2, and 3? It is helpful to see form before anything else.

I'm not surprised by that, all of my new clients are able to perform pullup but not completing the rowing variations? why? because pullup is much more multi joints exercise with great aid from lats while rowing variations is much more elbows flexion muscles. and when you perform pullup and elbow flexor get fatigued then you cannot pullup anymore. another consequence is elbows injury.

Submitting the form checks, i could already notice some issues just by watching, big mistake on my part, i will correct that, that being said, please help me with what i don´t see.

Thanks,

Tiago

Hey Tiago, the form is ok. I suppose that you know that you should train only ONE movement in a training session. they are a progression, first master the first one...then move on.

Yes, i am aware of that, i only did the movements in order to show the form. 

Since the form is ok, should i keep on doing the RC PE3 until i become strong enough? 

No, you should train PE1 and IM1 and master them with the required standard. if they are ok you can move over PE2 and so on.
