A recap of this Bodyweight BEAST Workout:
8 Rounds
A) 10 reps of any bodyweight pulling movement
B) 10 reps of any bodyweight pushing movement
C) 5 reps of 30" box jumps
I see my workouts on video and I am NEVER satisfied, NEVER impressed with myself.
This is the journey of life and training, always climbing my personal Mt. Everest.
My workouts MUST challenge me both mentally AND physically.
I'm recommending you do the same, it's the only way you can REALLY grow as a person. If your workouts don't push the envelope, you'll be like every other dude, blindly going through the motions with no focus, NO eye of the tiger.
Demand more of yourself and kick some ass.
Question for You: How do you organize your workouts to get maximum benefit both mentally and physically? Drop a comment below. Looking forward!

Organization of workouts to get maximum benefits is something that took me a long time to learn. Right now I am alternating bodyweight workouts, powerlifting workouts using Wendler 5/3/1, Kettlebell workouts, and rest days. The bodyweight workouts are pushups, squats, chinups, situps using the 100pushup set/rep plan, this is very high in volume. The powerlifting workouts are using 5/3/1 template but no assistance work, just get in get it done and leave. The kettlebell routine is varied but includes a lot of swings, highpulls, snatches and stability carries. The most important day for me now is the rest day, I usually take a complete rest day every 3-4 workout days in a row.
I have learned so much form this site over the past year on how to plan and program workouts for both mental and physical benefits I am for ever grateful.
Good news spring is here, so it is time to break out the Prowler for some serious kick ass GPP.
Getting STRONG!
Brock’s everyday base workout

25 squats with 50lb sand bag – 25 toe raises in same set
15 body weight pull ups

This workout it necessary to maintain strength in core, back shoulders and legs. I do otherwise I get hurt in mma.
Love those pushup variations Zach! Pushups are so underrated.
@Brock, damn bro good to see U r still tearing it up you wild man!!! That workout looks deadly!!
Hal – I called You out, ha ha – now kick some ass!
Hey I just wanted to say that since subscribing to you and seeing some of your motivation and workout techniques I’ve made more gains in the past week than I was in a month and set a new personal best for max bench. All I’ve been doing was some basic compounds-bench, weighted pull ups, bodyweight rows, press, and deadlift/power clean. Doing all these with little or no rest in between sets. Throw in some kettlebell farmer carry at the end to really make the shoulders burn. Thanks for the motivation Zach.
started subscribing to your site a few months back after finding your hard core approach to training was exactly what I was really missing from my own training.
I have been training with kettlebells and rings for around the last 2 years, before that regular free weights, but fell into cruise mode there for a while.
Your training vid’s and written info has really fired me up again and I have lifted the intensity of my training as a result, smashin the heavy bells and increasing the density of my training sessions getting more done in less time while lifting more kilo’s.
I love the old school training methods as much as you Zach !!
Zach the man has me starting Beast program (highly recommended)
So that has some heavy couplets BB/DB/SB then a blend of power bodyweight sets-fast paced which is what Iike:
Several times a week I do 100 straight burpees they are at 5min 40sec right now. And other days I end up with sets of 30 throughout workouts and get up over 400 total burps -200 pushups- and as many chins that I can but I suck at these (only get 3-4 each time)
Love doing pistols inbtween bodyweight cicuits get about 6-8 full ROM each leg, and don’t neglect the bodyweight equivalent of the deadlift-the full back bridge- I do full back bridges 4x1min holds , then later I may add repitiions by going from standing to a back bridge then back up again for 3x10reps then drop into full split and roll over into straight pike . It is a great stretch finisher.
Your awesome Zach,
Did day 3 today of Beast (Cleans/rows/swings/KB cleans as RX in program, then 20burps with tuck jump then 1min/100jumprope rotations x 5 .5 rounds (15min)- did 100 straight burps before and 100 hindu squats 5min 40 sec on burps and 2min on squats.
