DSKernel: AI and Strength Training

 Hello, In the last post , I presented a split routine that I was using at the time to develop bodyweight strength.

I was watching Jujimufu on trickstutorials.com in the early 2000s when he was less of a bodybuilder. He is a legend. I think that I will reach the 1 reps of a perfect strict-form pull-up around 2020-10-15. My program is pure bodyweight fitness training. I like it that way. It's fun and simple.
