Progression Scheme Recommendation for 5RM Chin Ups 2 days a week

My chin-ups are around a 5RM I get 5, 4, 3 across three sets. I train them twice a week.

What progression scheme would you recommend from here? Sets to failure, a descending ladder, or a total rep target? And when should I start adding weight instead of chasing reps?

Title: Running GZCLP 4-day — need a real chin-up progression scheme (currently 4 clean)

I'm currently at 4 clean chin-ups and I want a proper progression scheme for them. Right now on my chin days I start with 2 clean sets — usually 4/4 or 4/3 — then I switch to the assisted pull-up machine. My bodyweight is 86 kg and I use 41 kg of assistance for 3x10.

The problem is this is mostly something I made up myself and I don't trust it. I'm looking for an actual structured progression I can plug into the T2 chin-up slot. Any ideas?

DAY 1 — SQUAT

Squat T1 5x3+

Bench Press T2 3x10

Chin Ups T2 3x10

Chest Press Machine T3 3x15+

DAY 2 — OHP

OHP T1 5x3+

Deadlift T2 3x10

Machine Row T3 3x15+

Lateral Raise T3 3x15+

Leg Curl T3 3x15+

DAY 3 — BENCH

Bench Press T1 5x3+

Squat T2 3x10

Chin Ups T2 3x10

Chest Press Machine T3 3x15+

DAY 4 — DEADLIFT

Deadlift T1 5x3+

OHP T2 3x10

Machine Row T3 3x15+

Leg Curl T3 3x15+

Lateral Raise T3 3x15+

A question about deadlift reps

Hello all I was struggling with deadlifts but after watching some guides I can now perform them.

I can do the first rep almost perfectly but after that first rep my form deteriorates I don't really know how to keep deadlifting without doing the initial rep, stopping, building up tue rep setup thej executing again.

So I can't do them consecutively any advice or video that could help me? I would appreciate it A LOT

Yazın part time çalışmalık iş.

Selamlar, ufak bir iş tavsiyesine ihtiyacım var. Biraz dürüst olayım, kendimle ilgili hallettiğimi sandığım bazı sorunların pek de geçmediğini fark ettim aslında yaptığım tek şey onları bastırmakmış gerçekten önemsediğim bir insan karşıma çıkınca hepsinin tekrardan açığa çıktığını fark ettim ve bu sebeple de terapiye başlamayı planlıyorum. Kenarda kendi param var ama tek başına sürdürülebilir olarak yeterli olmayacak destek olması açısından ek paraya ihtiyacım var.

Ana kriterim para değil açıkçası. Gündelik rutinimi çok felç etmeyecek, tercihen haftada max 3 gün çalışabileceğim part-time iş arayışındayım. Çok iyi İngilizcem var, hani bir işe yarar mı bilmiyorum ama ekleyeyim dedim.

Bu şartlarda ne tarz işlere bakabilirim, aklınıza gelen fikirler veya tecrübesi olan var mı?

Quick question about chord change practice as a beginner

Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on my open chords and my main goal right now is to reach 30 chord changes between D and A in one minute.

I was running into an issue where my head kept going left to right, left to right, trying to watch both my fretting hand make the shape and my strumming hand hit the right strings. It was really slowing me down.

I’ve been thinking about how to fix this, and I came up with a strategy. I’d love to know if this is the right approach or if I’m setting myself up for bad habits:

  1. Trusting the strumming hand It made sense to me that I should just memorize the strumming feeling for the first 4 strings (for D) and the first 5 strings (for A) by muscle memory.
  2. Only looking at the fretboard: Because the strumming is becoming muscle memory, I’m keeping my eyes locked entirely on my fretting hand to watch the chord changes, since memorizing that switch is a lot harder for me right now.

Do you think this is the right approach? Is it completely fine to just check my fretting hand with my eyes while letting my strumming hand run on autopilot, or should I be trying to memorize both hands blindly at this stage?

Since I am learning from Justin Guitar I would like to ask questions like this so that I don't build bad habbits along the way Help is really appreciated

Started leaening guitar and I was wondering

It is probably asked a lot, and if so, I apologize.

I always wanted to sing but was never talented nor brave enough.

I was wondering if I don't want this as a professional career, but would I be able to sing my favorite songs while I was playing the guitar without butchering them? Again I don't want to be the best I only want to sing alongside my guitar even If I was the worst can I train myself to not suck?

Obviously, nothing beats real therapy sadly I can't afford it.

But I still want to do the right things instead of blindly following some influencer BS on instagram reels.

I don't ever want her again even after she fixes her self or I start to do better in life. Yet I feel not like my usual self.
