Hi lads, currently platued at 9 pull ups to the bleep, I’m trying to consistently pass 16 so I can comfortably do the max under fatigue to ensure I can pass rmfa with ease. My current routine is 4 days of weight training. Upper, lower, full body and a dedicated chest and bodyweight day in which I test my rmfa immediately after the workout to simulate fatigue. I also do 3 days of running - 1 tempo run, 1 interval session and 1 zone 2 sessions. I also do gainers for push ups on my running days. I’m thinking of implementing gainers for pull ups and doing them on the 4 days that I go gym, would this be a good idea or lead to injury. I’m planning on sending my application in October time so I don’t have to have parental permission. All advice is appreciated - I’m also doing commando ptis circuits on Saturdays aswell.

Hi guys, for pretext I’m 17m south asian guy living in the uk with my Indian immigrant parents and my 26m brother, Im not an immigrant myself however and neither is my brother, 4 months ago now my parents discovered I used Snus (nicotine pouches) and since then have pretty much kept me a prisoner in the house (only allowed to go out to gym and runs - can’t even go to the town centre) my 26m brother says “I did it to my self.” (I kinda did ig) so my parents have always been a lot more unhinging than other south asian parents - something I discovered only recently. Never letting me go to parties until I was 15 - even then I had to go home at 10:30, constantly screaming at me to be a doctor since I was 9 and buy them a “big house,” saying that they’ll choose who I marry etc etc.

So after the zyn/snus incident I’ve pretty much been kept as a prisoner in the house as I mentioned above with every time I ask to go out being hoarded with incessant questions. Today I asked to go to a water park for my friends birthday on the 28th, it’s quite abit a way from home - as you can guess my mum of course said no instantly, her reasoning being: “what happened last time we gave you freedom,” and started screaming at me. Thankfully, my dad has some faith and said to me he’ll talk to her about it.

This whole thing got me wondering whether my mum shutting me in to the house constitutes as some form of control or abuse, thankfully I found a loophole to see one of my closest friends by going on runs with him and making him start going my gym. Rebelling currently is out of the question because I won’t be allowed a job (can barely leave the house) + I’m financially reliant on my family to pay for my driving lessons. Overall, I just feel like prisoner day to day and it’s build up an extreme amount of hatred within me the past few months.

If you guys wanna know in detail about my family situation for more context feel free to look at my previous posts on this sub. God bless
