Welcome Dennis!

It's always great to have another Strender.

As for getting those reps up there (as well as for that running time down there)
there are a variety of approaches. One straightforward way is to do trial
Strends. I often do these in the gym, substituting the treadmill for the track.
In terms of the disciplines, each one differs a little. I've found that if I add
a little bit of resistance this usually increase the number of reps I can do.
For pull-ups I put a 20/30 dumbbell between my ankles. For military press, the
thing that works best for me is to head-stand push ups against the wall first
thing in the morning, going to near failure.

With many of the Strend exercises, I've found that going to repeated failure
(back-to-back set of pull-ups for instance) doesn't necessarily add more reps.
Additionally, you want to give your body rest. Doing Strends on consecutive
days, while a good fitness rush, hasn't led to increased reps for me. Once every
ten days on trial Strends is pretty ideal. Again there are a variety of
approaches. Definitely experiment and let us know what works best for you.

Again, welcome and good luck strending.

What's your name? Dennis

How you were introduced to STREND? Found it browsing fitness sites.

Have you ever competed in a STREND Fitness Challenge? I have not competed yet,
however I am interested in competing this year. Any help with specific training
routines would be appreciated.
