Body weight Exercises

Body weight exercises have to be part of the program if you want to be jacked up.

But not only push ups, sit ups and high rep gymnastics.

This is for beginners things that do not build any real muscle.

We look forward to really working hard on the high voltage, advanced body weight exercises that can be done for anywhere between five and ten repetitions, the average talk.

The nice thing about these is that they are very natural and are usually done painlessly by most people.

They can be added to any program with dumbbells, barbells and strongman equipment.

This is the ultimate combination for building high performance mass. Or you can not body weight exercises. The choice is yours.

Below is a list of my top 20 body weight exercises for size and strength.

Pull Up

This exercise will build the lats and biceps very effective. An impressive number of full range is perfect repetitions 20th Everyone should do this at least 50 total reps per week chin of some sort of variation.

The parallel grip chin / pull up is easiest on the shoulders and elbows and is the one I recommend the most. They do on the rings is the safest, as it allows for the most natural movement, but also more difficult.

Rope Climb

Perfect for true functional relative strength. Your goal is to climb a 20 foot rope using only your hands.

Inverted Row

A certain kind of inverted line variation, either at a bar should include rings, ropes or suspension straps for center back thickness and strength.

To increase the difficulty of trying to rep stopped for a few seconds at the top, with Fat Grips or towels by only one leg exposed hidden on the bench instead of two, or both feet in the air in front of the lever.

To the upper back muscles (teres minor, rhomboids, rear delts) you aim your elbows straight out to your side while rowing. If the bar or straps to you they row on neck or face level. Hidden for more lats and middle back, row with his elbows on the sides.

Front Lever

This is one of the absolute best exercises for the activation and the construction of the lats. Maybe even better than pullups. It is also one of the best abdominal exercises that you can do, crunches and sit and sit ups to shame. To proceed in doing the dynamic movement I recommend starting with isometric movements. Four sets of 10 seconds twice a week will be good for most people.

Muscle Up

Very few people ever master the muscle to pull off but if you take the time and dedication, it is very impressive to be able to. Doing five perfect reps is a good goal to shoot.

Handstand Pushup

This will build large shoulders like otherwise and cause less pain and far less destruction than a barbell military press. To shoot an impressive number is te n full range reps. To get started on this, you must first master the handstand.

It has been said by high gymnastics coach, that the ability to handstand one of the main things that you develop to your overall athleticism is improving.

Once you are able to hold a handstand with your feet against the wall for 60 seconds before starting in handstand pushups can.

Pushup

I would choose some sort of pushup on a barbell or dumbbell press any day of the week. You are that. Effective and beneficial and are much less risk of injury than other options

Some of them I do. Use most often in training or even customers are exposed to the steep incline pushup (with your feet in the straps), suspended regular pushups on rings or the Jungle Gym XT Divebomber pushups and one arm pushups

Planche push ups are probably the hardest option, but you need to be prepared for 1 to 2 years worth of work there, if you can do modified versions of the rings much earlier. A good goal for most people arm pushups 1001. This is strong and impressive.

Ring Fly

The function of the chest muscles is to pull the arm over the center line of the body. Vince and Larry Scott introduced me to this exercise in the early 90's and I was blown blown away by how well it worked.

It is one of the most difficult, but brutally effective moves you can do to build up your chest.

Lower slowly to always be sure to brace your abs, squeeze your glutes and pause in the bottom position. Be prepared for hard work and expect that some bicep growth from this exercise so well see.

Ring Dip

when you do them straight up and down, they will blow up your triceps better than any other exercise. Twenty five repetitions is done this way to shoot a good target.

May sit for another chest you focus forward by bending at the hips and keep your legs in front of you and instead of simply trying to squeeze by pushing your way out of the ground / pull your way up

Inverted Shrug

The big knock on body weight training is that it does nothing for your traps you that yoke look. But that's because people do not know about the inverted shrug. Get on the rings and rotate the head. Once you stabilize your body simply shrug up and down. Even if you are only using your body weight and it is less than you'd normally. Use on a bar, it always seems to provide enough resistance for most people If it can not take on a weight vest.

Hand Walking or Crawling

Walking on your hands is a great way to develop shoulder strength and stability. This can be done upside down in a handstand or it can be done in pushup position with your feet in the Power Wheel.

Happen in the second way, it is your abdominal muscles work harder than anything you've ever done. For 100 yards with perfect form, which means no sagging or A framing hips.

Aside from walking on your hands, any kind of crawl is awesome for full body strength and athleticism.There numerous types of creeps like bear crawls are crawling tigers, crab walks etc.

I suggest the inclusion into your workout at least once a week as a finisher or a warm up.

Pistol Squat

Pistol squats develop every muscle in the lower body along. With great balance, stability, coordination and athleticism Like many of the bodyweight exercises listed here, the gun takes several weeks to prepare properly and to do without pain.

Even if you force that they are doing the first time your connective tissue will not need to be prepared for the load, so please take the necessary steps to work on them.

Looking squats an impressive number of the gun is to shoot 20 times.

Back Foot Elevated Split Squat

Pistols are great, but a lot of people will never be able to do it. This version is more user friendly. Get into a lunge and set foot on a field or a bank of about 6" to 12" in height.

The quads respond very well to high volume attending multiple 10 to 20 reps of this exercise is the preferred plan of attack

Skater Squat

To do this exercise simply bend your knees and squat behind him straight down to the ground. It's like a gun just behind the leg squat instead of just bent in front of you.

Touch the back knee on a padded surface and then stand back up. The range of motion is much less, so this is often a good first progression pistol squats.

Single Leg Hip Thrust

While pistol squats most of your lower body care needs you may want to take some hip extension work to ensure that you cover all your bases.

This is especially important for girls who want an ass you can rest a drink on himself.

A large body weight exercises that will do that for you is the single leg hip thrust.

Set up two benches, put the top back on the one hand and one foot on a different bent to the non working leg up near the chest.

Now let your hips drop down to the ground as low as possible. Take your foot in the bank and lift your hips all the way up, while consciously contracting your glute.

Once you can knock 15 to 20 reps with perfect form as you stabilize your hips and not over stretching your lower back I'd throw a few chains or resistance band over your waist

Single Leg Back Raise or Glute Ham Raise

I love glute ham raises for hamstring development and protect against knee injuries. But they are not 100% necessary.

If you squat low enough, like you do in a pistol squat upset the thigh. The glutes also a pretty good workout from a pistol squats. But this does leave the lower back a bit behind in the pacing department, if all you did was body weight stuff.

So that a part of the body would cover a single leg again raise be a good option. Of course you can do this with two legs, become easy to sets of 20. Then I would switch to one leg variant either parallel or 45 degree angled bench

L-Sit

This exercise is great for developing core competencies and mastering it will show you a world of good and have great carryover to numerous exercises and physical activities. If you have lower back or hip pain cure this exercise often. Start slowly with the bent knee version and progress from there. Four sets of 10 seconds holding two or three days a week is enough for most people.

Hanging Leg Raise

This is an advanced abdominal exercise you work your way up to it slowly over the course of several months. I had the L-sets first is pretty good. If you're a beginner, it can provide up to two years you are, are for this one. The ability to really do 15 to 20 reps a perfect picture without jacking up your lower back is pretty impressive

Side Plank

Each of the exercises listed includes all of the core muscles, but that's the only change that really focuses on the obliques. The obliques are. Crucial in maintaining a healthy back, locking a heavy squat or dead lift and overall core strength and stability

If you have strong obliques chances are good that you have a decent level of functional strength. This exercise can be myself, how easy or as difficult as you will need it, depending on whether you to bend your knees, stretching out with a back extension bench, where to do it or use a weight West

Back Bridge

This is a good practice to improve the health of the spine. Start slowly and be very cautious on this. If you already have existing injuries you may never be able to do this.

Those with healthy backs should be aimed at the point where they can bridge backward from a standing position on the floor and then get back to work

Neck Bridge

Once you able to do a back bridge, be sure to work your way into the neck bridges, both the front and rear axle. A thick neck looks a powerful and instills respect. No walk in with a stack of pennies.

There you have it, the Top. 20 body weight exercises for building muscle mass and strength Of course there are tons more and it was tough narrowing it down.

This is far from a complete list and is only a fraction of body weight exercises that I use regularly. I like that. Mix in with some barbell / dumbbell and strongman exercises, but there is no reason why you could not get with just this alone If you have not already done so add a few of these exercises to your program today and work your way up to the highest level of the individual.
