Which is better?

Using RFFL as an example:

chins ups:

4X10 day: I can do 3 full chin ups, 3 chins to my nose and the last 4 to my forehead. ( this is week 3)  Is it better to continue on this way and improve or should I use a modification of the chin up until I can do "all 10".... My thinking is to continue as this will be my gauge to improvement.... I don't seem to suffer any for it.

By the way, I lOVE RFFL, I am noticing a difference already. 

I say stick with what you're doing. Very impressive!

Keep going. Very awesome!

I have to admit, I am stoked that I can do 3 full ones, surprised myself. Will continue on , thanks

i agree that you're doing great.  i would recommend doing as you're doing and then sticking in some negatives (either right afterward or at another point in your workout), so that you're sure to engage and strengthen all the muscles required to get you up over that bar.  if you're not practicing the full range of motion of a lift, then you're not training all the muscles in that lift.  this is why ppl suggest you squat deep, or lift "all the way up" when you do shoulder raises, or lower all the way down when you do a pushup.

I do pay close attention to form and push myself to squat deep, lift high and get the full benifit of my workouts..... sometimes to the point my trainer would make me stop and call me an animal....... I am addicted to the rush I guess. I will add in some negatives to get more out of this. I am seeing  more definition this week, so it is working.... I don't pay atention to the scale as much anymore, use my body as my guage now.

julielet, i wouldn't expect any less from you.  but the reminder that you're mindful of the elements of your workout is much appreciated.  a trainer called me a "beast" the other day.  so i'd say (in response to your being "an animal"), join the menagerie; but actually i'm not so sure why lifting correctly is seen as so aggressive/primal/unrefined/uncivilized.  ;

a fellow lifter, for example, called my reverse lunges "graceful," and i found that comment much more complimentary.  :)

LOL, I would give my eyeteeth to do graceful lunges. I am a big time clutz when it comes to forward and reverse lunges. I think the Animal came from the pushing through and forcing myself to finish my sets. My trainer usually has either woman who don't want to break a nail ( I cut mine off to train) or they haven't exercised in so long that they want to quit on the first real burn. I guess I was a treat for her, someone she could push a little harder than normal..... I do love the weights and thanks for the advise.... happy lifting. ( Not sure if you took offense, none intended what so ever)
