Bodyweight check
Five questions on the three dials, the progression rule, and press-to-pull balance.
Five questions on the parts of this course that people most often get backwards. Nothing here is recorded outside your own browser, and retakes cost nothing.
1. What are the three dials you use to make a bodyweight exercise harder?
Weight is the dial you don't have. Leverage, tempo, and range are enough to keep an exercise progressing for years.
2. When have you earned the next rung of the push-up ladder?
Clean reps on two separate sessions is the gate. Reps that decay badly across sets mean you moved up too early.
3. Why is loading the legs the honest weak point of bodyweight training?
You cannot add plates, so difficulty comes from halving the base of support and slowing the movement down.
4. What should you do before attempting your first pull-up?
Rows build the pattern, hanging builds tolerance, negatives build the top range. Most people get their first rep within eight weeks of that sequence.
5. You are travelling and can only fit two sessions in the week. What does the course recommend?
Two sessions maintains nearly everything. Treating a missed session as a failed week is how the habit dies.
