OAC vs OAPU Posted: 05 Mar 2020 04:48 AM PST With the one armed chin up (OAC) and one armed pull up (OAPU), is there much difference in how you should train for these? Is one considered easier than the other? How much carry over is there? Should you be training for one or both? I can hold myself 'comfortably' at the top of the OAC and do slow negatives, but I'm not even close to doing that with the OAPU. submitted by /u/anon_1349 [link] [comments]

Knowing the limits Posted: 04 Mar 2020 07:35 PM PST Recently I have been really pushing myself to workout. I would say I have been spending 2-4 hours at the gym for 5-6 days a week. I know thats probably a lot, but I just don't understand how to limit myself. Over the last month or two, my clinical depression has gotten quite bad. Working out is about the only thing that distracts me from my thoughts. It just feels good to push myself more than I knew I could. However, I have been pushing myself to extremes. For example, to the point where I am in terrible pain, my muscles even feel cold afterward or throwing up/on the verge of. I know its not really healthy. But right now I am in the cycle of having to push myself more and more each time or I get more depressed than earlier if I cannot meet my expectations. I believe some of you may suggest change of meds or therapy, but for personal reasons I cannot do that in the immediate moment, maybe in the near future. Anyway, this post mostly goes to out to people who suffered through mental illness and workout or even physical trainers or experts like that on fitness. I was just wondering the advice you can give on how I can set my limits, so I am not feeling sick afterward. Thank you in advance for your time and have a nice day. submitted by /u/sassafraze [link] [comments]
