Bodyweight training is in my blood, just like lifting heavy objects is in my blood.

Ironically, MANY think the two don’t go hand in hand, they believe it’s ONE or the other.

Not true, my friends, I live for BOTH bodyweight training and the heavy iron.

Anyone who thinks differently is missing the boat as each one compliments the other, making you stronger in BOTH arenas.

Here are 2 videos from an 8 round bodyweight circuit of Pull, Push & Jump!

With Calisthenics, I love doing reverse ladders as well as “Running the Rack” where I took an old school Golden Era Bodybuilding Approach to dumbbell training and applied it to calisthenics.

Examples of the Reverse Ladders Bodyweight Bodybuilding Workout:

Perform a Circuit of 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 reps.

Or more advanced can be higher reps.

A) Jumps (Squat Jump, Box Jump, Hurdle Jumps, Etc)

B) Varied Push Ups (feet elevated, rings, clapping, medicine ball)

C) Mixed Grip Pull Ups (Change Grips Every Set)

Running the Rack Style, is where you climb up in reps, then back down:

Circuit of the exercises below with these reps: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

A) Jumps (Squat Jump, Box Jump, Hurdle Jumps, Etc)

B) Varied Push Ups (feet elevated, rings, clapping, medicine ball)

C) Mixed Grip Pull Ups (Change Grips Every Set)

If you think Bodyweight Training isn’t important, you need to see the video below, world champion Olympic weightlifters from the early 1970’s in Poland show why you need to train like a Gymnast AND lift Heavy Barbells.

This is what BEASTS are made of my friends 🙂

As always, don’t be a slave to only 1 method of training. Chase results and be open minded in your approach. Your body will evolve as will the athletes if you’re a Coach.
