I like that video. I'm using a towel and just moving my grip further down as time goes on.

Make sure not to spend too much time working on Step 2. I've heard of a lot of people spending months and months on it.

Yeah, Step 2 looks easy, compared to step 1. Did you have to insert pauses to get from step 1? I might have to, espesially for Leg Raises, the others are okay.

But I gotta say, this program is the bomb, based on the gains I've gotten just from step 1!

I only really pause for bridges at the top for a second. And for squats to make sure that I'm not bouncing on my knee joint.

Pullups are actually quite frustrating because your reps vary greatly on your energy. Sometimes I can get 8-9 reps sometimes I struggle to get 6.

I'm on Step 9 for Bridges now though.

I'm a big fan of this program.

Did CC since 2012 until early 2015. Did anyone experience mass gains while doing it?

Freeletics seems pretty impressive as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGnAQqlrKoE
Like CC, it's body weight only, but the programs are usually 4-7 days pr week and much more explosive training.

I've added some explosive training to my workouts (the author talks about this) and it seems to have made a difference.

I started on full chinups. I never did the earlier steps. Patience has never been my strong suit :lol:

Meh, I'm about 15 pounds heavier. I'm content with my weight so I haven't really tried to bulk more. Just building strength.

I switched from CC to other bodyweight exercises, made myself a custom routine. In my opinion, CC is good to build a base upon, but then you have to upgrade to something better. Already starting to see muscle gains, but I eat like a muthafucka, protein especially.

I think CC is crazy good. I am going to CC all I can, for as long as I can.
It's not that heavy weights are 'better', I think that muscles need to be
conditioned in many ways.

It's good to use those CC STEP 1-5 exercises too, they eliminate weaknesses
in those blind spots I cannot hit with heavy weights, machines, or with STEP 6-10.
