Hey friends, I'm on a search for a simple long-time workout routine which is extremely effective on time and has a potential of keeping me generally fit. I also have one serious limitation which is a low ceiling (10 cm above my head) in an apartment from which I work and where I have some time to exercise during the day. I've been impressed by the simplicity of the Naked Warrior bodyweight program comprising of only 2 exercises which progressively evolve. However, GTD method is not really my cup of coffee. It doesn't work well with my lifestyle. What I would prefer more is a short daily dedicated time for a quick exercise before the lunch time. As I was searching internet, I found this thread where our @Steve Freides suggested a guy to try the NW routine in a PTTP protocol: Naked Warrior Training Routine??? If I got it right, this should be 2x5 Push Up variation followed by 2x5 single leg squat variation done on a daily basis. Honestly, I really like it. It seems like really matching what I'm looking for. Quick, straightforward, easy to keep discipline. Do you think guys, this could work in a long run ? If yes and if I got it right, I still struggle with the idea of progression. Should I do 5 reps in a row of an exercise and then occasionally test if I can make 10 in one go ? And if yes, progress to a higher level of the exercise and continue with 5 again ? Or can I alternatively involve higher number of reps, for example keep growing from 3 reps to 12 reps over the time and then switch to a higher level of exercise? I'm trying to figure it out, since PTTP suggest increasing load exercise by exercise by a little bit. But with BW moves like in NW, one can't increase load, only reps and then the level of the exercise alone. So to summarize it, I'd be thankful guys to hear your opinion if
1) This is a good solution
2) How to progress
And if @Steve Freides wants to join this conversation and help another struggling guy, I'd be happy
