Hey /fit/ I'm training myself for useful strength and high levels of stamina/endurence, I'm too cheap for buying weights or to go to a gym.(Not to mention the fact that I move around between 3 towns too much for any of that to be useful) so I'm basically training with body weight on all of my exercises.My current regime20 min. running. Note running, not jogging.4*30 pullups,4*40 one handed pushups, each hand.4*100 leg lifts.4*100 (don't know what its called in English, but your basically lying on your back and are lifting your legs from side to side using your torso)8*50 pistol squats.4*50 lunges.After that I do a 4 minute walking hand stand. As a cool down, then I stretch for roughly 20mins.I do this every third day basically.Comment too long. Clickhereto view the full text.
>8*50 pistol squats.lol wut? probably not doing them right OP
>>189949I've been trained/training since I was 7 or so.Your body gets used to exercises after a while.
>>189960you must have some pretty badass quads then. well i'm not sure how far a mostly calisthenic routine will get you, strength-wise. you could try some stuff from this book, though:http://rs78.rapidshare.com/files/84719524/pavel_tsatsouline_-_naked_warrior.pdf
Uh, if you can do fifty pistols, and forty one handed pushups, you should probably be teaching us.You could be doing them wrong, though,
>>189968Not really, the way I trained wasn't really effective. I only did those exercises that my father said I should do and I just basically slowly advanced in them.It took me roughly 7-8 years till I got those 8*50 pistols/4*40 one handed pushups.Doing this by other means or a more specialized training would have been much more efficient.
>>189963Thanks for the book, I'll check it out.
you desperately need some glute ham raises or some other way of hitting your posterior chain. I would also do something to get the other exercises you do harder.. maybe hold a rock while doing the pistols or some shit. At 30*4 pullups you could start working in muscle ups, I love them as an exercise... ehrm what more... doing some press to handstand work maybe... One handed chins?ohh, and here is examples of the exercises I mentionedglute ham raises: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44DAxF6bneYmuscle upshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFxIal96cwchandstand stuff to mess around withhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRu8zdiLg_s
>>190018I will add a form oof exercesie for the Hamstrings and the Glutes, but I'll probably pass on the muscle ups.Thanks for the tip.
>>190099good, PC is important, but why skip the muscle ups? they are functional, available and effective.
>>190116I just find general pull ups more enjoyable.
>>189977I'm gonna do this if I ever have kids
>>189929amazing workout routine. have you tried free weights just to see where you stand with the weight training types? I just started on the Pavel grease the groove routine. 400 pistol squats? 160 one arm pushups? you gotta be in perfect shape. my hat is off to you. I am at 10 dead hang chins after 6 months.
