There is a possibility of not having enough upper body recovery, so you just need to be mindful of that.

Rip has a much faster recovery method but it is painful and scary. Wanting to do lots of chinups seems to be common for guys doing their NLP. There's lots of other accessory stuff you can do when you complete your progression and switching them around will help avoid overuse injuries.
This is interesting. I’ve used Rip’s chin-up protocol to recover from golfers and tennis elbow. I didn’t know that chins also caused either one of them.Quote:
