Not sure that counts considering the other person is technically an external load but being a former wrestler, there is no better workout!Wrestling, hands down.
Depends on the perspective - strictly speaking, its still the weight of a body But of course, it was intended as a trick answer. If the question was what exercise I'd pick in addition to wrestling, I'd be hard pressed deciding between rope climbs in L-sit and bridge spins for high reps (very important exercise for specific leg endurance in my school - you're supposed to do 30 circles per minute for 2x3 minutes), but I'd probably go with the former since I can burn out my legs and neck enough just by wrestling.Not sure that counts considering the other person is technically an external load but being a former wrestler, there is no better workout!
I'm from California. I grew up wrestling freestyle since age 7 and then switched to American folkstyle beginning high school. The last style I competed in was beach wrestling which is a lot of fun and exciting to watch. Hopefully the sport gains more traction.Depends on the perspective - strictly speaking, its still the weight of a body But of course, it was intended as a trick answer.

Where'd you wrestle and what style? With me, it was Greco and Freestyle in Germany and Austria, mostly under Russian coaches.

Period.

The Russians are the best!
The perfect answer is…if i could only do one bw exercise for the rest of my life I’d do six in a chain! Love it.Set a pull up bar height at just under your max jump reach. Push yourself off the deck from a prone position, jump to bar, do a pull up or three then a few hanging abs, swing yourself in the air and let go at a decent height for a nice depth jump, hit the deck, repeat.
Could substitute a rope climb for a pull up bar.
Push-ups! It's the most basic and fundamental of all bodyweight exercises, which is why it's my personal favorite. I like to do 100 in sets of ten throughout the day as a quick break from my work, but you can also put them together into "challenges" by pushing yourself for more reps or adding chains one arm at a time for complexity. It gets both mind and body working!The only one I can think of that would provide the most bang for buck for the WHOLE body is the One-Arm One-Leg Push-up (which I assume is why it's the choice for SFB cert).
It's not necessarily the best bodyweight press (I reserve that pick for the Planche Push-up), nor is it a phenomenal leg exercise BUT it covers probably the most bases of any single pick and has plenty of "WTH effect" carryover to exercises like the One-Arm Chin-up. The best part is all you need is a floor!
What is your pick?
I often toyed with the idea of accumulating high reps during a day. How have you found this?Push-ups!

rope climbs in L-sit
Wow, my suggestion was L sit, but this is an entirely different beast, sinister almost.
I'm giving it a go at work tomorrow. ?
Be sure to ’down-climb’ the rope in a similar fashion…Wow, my suggestion was L sit, but this is an entirely different beast, sinister almost.
