Skill progression outside of the journey?

🇬🇧 English speaking Forum

I want to do the pullups progression but i dont have a pullup bar at home. I do have access to one at the park so can do occasionally. This will have to be separate to my journey.

How can i start a progression manually when I am at the park?

Related: how can i start any exercise manually? It seems to be available in the explore tab but the explore tab seems to be available only after finishing the days plan. So on my rest day it wants me to do recovery, until thats finished in cannot explore exercises? What if I am at the park in the morning and plan to to the recovery later in the day?

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

I don’t think there is an out-of-the-box solution for you, just share some ideas with you.

So I would personally keep the skill activated and the pullup bar set as equipment in the journey. This way, if the coach assigs you a task at the bar, you could note which one it is and do it later (don’t forget your warmup). I personally would do a screenshot and then delete the exercise from today’s workout and log it later when I actually did it to have the record straight.

With active subscription, you can start any exercise from the coach tab. Navigate to today on the top and scroll down. You’ll find a menu to choose individual exercises, then you can choose and log any exercise in the database.

I ended up buying a doorframe solution as pullup bar because it was not practical with the bar outside. Not perfect, but recently mastered my very first pullup - ever :+1:

Hi Susi, thank you for the suggestion. This workaround should work for me.

How do I remove the single item from the day’s plan?

@SteveMTB As far as I know, this is only possible within Ultimate Strength Journey.

Thank you. That is the journey I’m doing.

But I think I found it. Is it after starting the workout, them three dots top right, remove?

Will that remove only that specific item in the day’s workout, e.g. “progression to pull ups”?

Yes, that was exactly the option I meant. If you hit the three dots it will delete the current interval (for Ultimate Strength). Personally I think this should be very good because you will get tailored exercises for yourself and should also see progression based on your feedback.

Alternatively I found out that there is still the Freeletics pdf-Guide "Master the Pullup” around (I found it via simple websearch free to download). Of course you could also simply follow this guide and log the exercises with the manual tracking method mentioned above. Maybe this could be the fallback solution if the delete/log option is not convenient.
