Hopefully some of you may find this useful. All that’s needed for this exercise is the floor and wall.
It’s much more difficult than it looks and does an excellent job working the delts, upper pecs, traps and triceps.
You’ll have to play around with...
Until a few weeks ago, I was doing a rather minimalist program of bodyweight training (with Tom Furman's "Armor of War") and very brisk walking (Z2 cardio basically). However, winter is in full swing here and temperatures have dropped quite a bit. Usually I'd just soldier on, but me and my...
Good morning!
I am a 24 y/o male, 5’10, 210 lbs, and am looking for a bodyweight only program to address the following (very) modest needs:
-general strength, nothing crazy, I don’t even really care about being able to lift heavy, just my own body weight is enough
-flexibility, to aid in...
I just completed six weeks of BuiltStrong Minimalist, and I love it! This has been my most favorite StrongFirst program so far.
I chose the Tough schedule as I am used to a higher training volume. In hindsight, I should have stuck with the Regular schedule as I was also performing two Murph...
I train mainly with bodyweight and loaded bodyweight movements. Last months I've been progressing using 8-10 RM loads, but I'm planning to go down up to 5-6 RM for some ladder work (starting at 1-2-3 ladders and progressing from there). My idea is to do something along the lines of "Strength...
Is anyone participating in The Murph Challenge on Memorial Day?
1-mile run
100 pull-ups
200 pushups
300 squats
1-mile run
....with body armor or 20lb weight vest
I've been doing it since 2016.
My current training schedule:
Mon: BuiltStrong Minimalist (H: Double Kettlebell Presses, M...
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...
Hi, I'd like to ask you guys for help in organizing my full body bodyweight/kettlebell routine. My main goal is hypertrophy, explosiveness and muscular endurance. I know these aren't the ideal tools for such goal, but I'm not trying to get huge or anything since I'm pretty content with my...
Was wondering how people on here would use StrongFirst principles and other approaches to program for obstacle course racing. This was something I did years ago, with some moderate success (top 20 placing in shorter races and completion of OCR lengths all the way up to Spartan Ultra). But I...
Hey all,
I'm on the way back from a month over seas.
I did not have access to a gym and I was forced to be limited to a local outdoor calethstenics gym.
Here are some takeaways
1) Eccentrics is a legitimate way to bulk-
I am pretty proficient in bodyweight training and I was worried that I...
Hi guys, from the title of my thread it's more or less clear what I'm looking for. But let me explain to you my goals and reasons. With 4 kids running around me (actually 2 are still toddlers), work, service and other responsibilities it's more and more difficult for me to set apart time for...
Hello Bodyweight enthusiast and Instructors -
Hope you all are doing fabulous.
Been a bit since Ive been active on the forum or writing article which use to be a monthly task. This has been a busy year as my only child heading off to college this next week. :confused: new stage/journey.
Any way...
Greetings all. I have viewed this forum for a few years and loved getting tips and tricks from the wealth of knowledge our members have. My wife and I are expecting our first child this fall. I know sleep will be limited and energy will not be as steady or high for me as it currently is. I am in...
For those that have ever spent extended time as exclusively bodyweight / calesthenics practitioners, how did you split your training between conditioning and skill work? Whenever I get the notion to head fully in the bodyweight training direction, I have a hard time coming up with an approach...
Hey! I’m limited to my bodyweight for several months, which is fine because my OAPU and Pistol could use some attention. I just want to get leaner (lose my love handles), stronger and get some good cardio in. I love Naked Warrior, but I’m going to be doing this for a while so I was thinking that...
There is a Crossfit WOD called Shawn that I've been interested in doing since I first heard about it. Basically, you run 5 miles, but after each 5-minute interval you have to do 50 pushups and 50 air squats. I've trained for strength for many years. I've also run 10 miles before, but never...
I'm at intermediate level (already can do muscle ups, pistol squats,...) and I'm using strict (only slight heel touch) deep step up as my primary "heavy" leg movement (like pull ups for back). I prefer them to pistol squats since I can hardly get close to muscular failure with pistol squats...
Hey all,
Just got word that I might be overseas for a whole month...
Does not seem that I will have access to a gym as of now..
Since I do mainly Bodyweight Im not that concerned as all I need is a jump rope and a pullup bar.
The one thing I need is dumbells/kettlebells for accessory work...
Hey all,
I'm coming back to lifting after a couple of months of break due to health problems I encountered. I started doing a 5x5 Linear Progression program to increase my strength with the basic movements (squat, bench, deadlift, row, overhead press) back to my previous levels.
But with the...
