Equipment for Sets 'n' Reps

Sets and Reps is the name for performing calisthenics basics like pull-ups, push-ups and dips in numerous sets. This direction of calisthenics, also called Endurance, focuses on high volume in the exercises, meaning many repetitions are performed with less intensity. The most popular exercises in sets and reps are push ups, pull ups, chin ups, squats, muscle ups and dips.

Training at a high volume benefits your cardiovascular system and provide more strength endurance. You can do Endurance Calisthenics anywhere and have few prerequisites, as you can perform an effective workout anywhere with push ups and squats, for example. In addition, many repetitions require and train your willpower, as you have to go to your physical limits and overcome your own limits.

The most popular equipment includes resistance bands, gymnastic rings, dip belts, weight vest, alternatives to gloves and chalk. Bands provide an effective warm-up and easier reps when needed, allowing for more volume per workout. Gym rings are popular due to the wide variety of exercises. Dip belts and weight vests are optimal for advanced workouts with added weight when maximum volume is reached and more intensity of each repetition is needed. Gloves and chalk provide a stable grip or protected palms during repetitions.
