Answers: How do I make basic bodyweight exercises harder?

• bodyweight exercise progression
• increasing pull-up difficulty
• tempo training
• range of motion in calisthenics
• weighted calisthenics

Exercises

• pull-up · pull-up bar
• pull-up · gymnastic rings
• pull-up · weighted vest

What it concludes

• Sloppy reps make basic exercises easy, while adopting high standards makes them harder and more productive.
• Using pauses at difficult parts of the range of motion can cut rep counts in half and build strength at sticky points.
• Increasing range of motion by going deeper into push-ups and dips or pulling the chest all the way to the bar makes movements harder and more capable.
• A 45-pound weight vest is enough added weight to keep bodyweight exercises challenging for most people.
