That may be true I felt it in my shoulders like crazy but I cleaned up my form two months ago and dont feel it as much.

And yea I been doing dips ima throw some weight on there next time.

When I do them I make sure I lock my shoulders back and and 'drive it up' with my chest not my arms. Try to perfect your form.

I tried DB Bench but nothing gives me that chest poke like flat Barbell Bench Press. The DOMS next morning is

My next chest move is weighted dips. That gives me the mass on my outer chest.

I do the calisthenic equivalent (pushups for flatbench and bodyweight dips for weighted dips) as a burnout after every set

Alright ima try that and see how that goes.

And yea I was doing DB flat bench as opposed to barbell, was reppin the 100's finally

And is that the only time you do calisthenics is during your workout?

Im switching my routine up starting tommorow until the end of the summer.

I want to know how many pushups and pullups should I do a day, but keep in my mind im lifting weights as well.

I took a break from weights for a month and did nothing but calisthenics and I did lots of reps.

But now since Im picking the weights back up I want to know how many reps or sets would yall say I should do so I dont kill my CNS and destroy my gains.

You have two goals that are contradictory. One is a high repetition goal, i.e. most push-up and pull-ups. When weight lifting, your goals can vary from high-repetition to high weight. When you are able to bench press more, your push-up numbers will go down. With pull-ups, if you are able to pull more with added weight, your pull-up numbers should go up. But as your mass and weight go up, your pull-up numbers will go down.

People who say this throw too much shoulder in their benching.

Try weighted dips looking down. That gave my pecs a nice wide fan to them that poke out the sides of any shirt

yeah a lot of people have improper bench technique. puttin their feet in the air, feet on tippy toes, arms flared all the way out, tap dancin, etc.

i love weighted dips. they helped my bench a lot also.

Im trying to put more mass on im already pretty lean at 6'1 194 about 11% bodyfat abs are hard and very visible.

And Pushups make my chest grow alot quicker than benchpressing from what Ive noticed.

I know how to lift and gain weight, Im just looking for a way to add calisthenics in without my body getting overworked.

No homo but you got pics? Trynna get my ab definition up...
