@Raj B it depends on my workout goals and gym availability etc. When I’m traveling, can’t get to the gym, or focusing on muscular endurance or push power (by adding plyo to the exercise) I predominately use bodyweight exercises. Add variations, change angles, add a plyometric element to it, whatever you like. Overall, for me, it’s a great exercise.
