Hunting for Playground Workouts
I am getting more and MORE hyped on Bodyweight Training. I feel GREAT and with this weather it is perfect. I have been hunting for better playgrounds, check these out, this is part 1, MORE to come….
If people tell you that you can’t pack on muscle with bodyweight training they are DEAD WRONG.
Remember, you can always load exercises like chins, squats and dips via weight vests, chains, weight belts and even bands.
I have a select few bodyweight exercises we use here at The Underground Strength Gym that have proven to build BEAST Athletes.
Let me know if I should make it into a training course for you.
Peace!

PS: Get THIS book pronto, it is shaweeeeeeet!
PPS: A large portion of my USC Cert is the entire bodyweight series we use with our athletes, from regressions, to basics, to progressions all the way to how to use the Underground bodyweight exercises to build your business when you don’t even own a gym! BOOM, SON!
Share and Enjoy

HAHA!! Awesome Zach! If you could see the playground across the street from where I live, you’d be in freaking HEAVEN…! Rings, ropes, climbing walls, pulleys…!! Those must be the most in shape kids in the city! (no woods to pee in tho, and it’s a school playground so you probably wouldn’t want to do that anyway! HAHA)

You are a freakin nut dude! I’ve been doing playground/park workouts for 4-5 months now. They have gotten a lot better since getting my USC cert, for sure. I’ve managed to really stack on muscle, get a decent tan for a white Scottish dude and really improve my functional strength over the course of time of doing playground workouts. Even when I get back into the gym on a barbell I am able to perform at a significantly higher level. I’m obsessed with odd object, body weight, strongman, natural movement type of training now. Thanks for the influence.

Zach – hells 2 the yea, homie!! I feel great w/the bodyweight training and I don’t miss the aches and pains that come with heavy lifting.
I am also using indian clubs and sledge hammers a lot to keep my shoulders feeling good!

Matty Holmes – playground workouts is where it all started for me, my man!

Yes, yes and YES! I have my own personal training business in Colorado. I used to work for a gym and would have my clients lift the heavy weights too. But I completely changed my training paradigm to bodyweight training. It was the best thing I ever did for my business! Now I am mobile and totally use the local parks around here. I also am able to pick up those people who don’t want to join a gym, but have no equipment. And when we get to winter around here, we just take the bodyweight training into their homes. HUGE proponent of this!
