I contacted you before regarding the philosophy/training programs put forth by the late/great Leonard Schwartz. I have incorporated his training philosophy in my ring workouts, meaning I "cheat" on pull-ups, push-ups, dips and rows using my legs in conjunction with my upper body. Instead of 10-12 strict ring pull-ups or 20 ring push-ups in the standard fashion, I can get up to 30-40 reps using my legs in conjunction with my upper body. The intention in my training is too raise my heart rate and maintain it at an aerobic threshold range for my age (72) using upper and lower body but also, at my age, sparing the pounding and abuse on my joints. It works wonders and can be brutal but joint friendly--mike
