I never liked going to gym and doing the scripted set of weight lifting. For me, compound exercises are the best.
Lately I have been "greasing the groove" by doing low-rep pull-ups (and push-ups). You do it every day and there is no "training to failure."

The cute thing about bodyweight fitness is that you can do it anywhere without any special equipment.
- monort 10y agoI've got a tendonitis in my right elbow, when I tried greasing the groove for pull ups, and spent several months recovering. Be careful :) Any sign of pain in an elbow means your tendons need a rest.
- sridca 10y agoThanks. Do you know what caused your tendonitis when greasing the groove for pull ups? Improper form? Over-training?
- monort 10y agoI think over training, though the main problem was my ignorance - I ignored a mild pain in the elbow during last sets. One day I've got the pain that wasn't subsiding and that day I learned about tendonitis.
