CONVICT CONDITIONING
The CC "Iron Gauntlet" Challenge
1. Triple towel hang: one-handed x 60 seconds
Throw three (fairly thick) hand towels over an overhead pullup bar. They should be
layered,
one on top of another. Wrap your hand around the ends of the hanging towels � or as
far round as
you can get. (You�ll be grabbing the equivalent of six towels, since the three
towels will be doubled
over the bar. It�s unlikely your fingers will meet your thumb.) Squeeze hard, and
hang down, so
you are hanging by just one hand. Hold your bodyweight like this for 60 seconds.
Then swap and
hang for 60 seconds the same way but from the other hand.
A SHOT OF ADRENALINE
-Beastmode 30 day program
Chest Insanity: 4 Sets (Monday-Thursday)
Rest for 2 minutes than go through all of them again until you finish 4 sets.
After you are done with Chest Insanity than go on to Back Brutality
ZORAN PESTERAC
-Zoran front lever endurance set
Front lever (max hold)
Forearm front lever (straight bar victorian)
One arm -one forearm front lever dx/sx
Wide front lever
-SCORPION LEVER
However, this variation is far from easy, or incorrect form.
In my opinion, it's equaly, if not even a bit harder then assisted victorian cross
on the p-bars with, ofcourse regular scapular retraction.
It makes it hard the fact is impossible to breath(in my case) while holding, and
head preasure is like the begginer back lever held.
This hyper version should be done with:
1-hips closer to the bar
2-toes in line with the head.
Or it's just for real a bad form lever
-HEFESTO TUTORIAL
First of all..SHOES OFF.
And 15 minutes up to half an hour of warm up, if you dont wanna say "FUCK,
TENDONITIS", and make sure that your wrist flexibility is avarage smth.
Do the muscle up, rotate yourself 180� and make your ass sit on the bar(or just sit
on the bar any fucking way you want to ok).
Make a false grip, your thumbs are always UNDER the bar, and do negatives.
After you get comfortable with those, try to do this same shit down, but this time
with pulling back up.
It doesnt matter if you are not even going far from "korean dip" position at the
start, as much as it matters to do it slowly and with full controll of the both
arms timing.
At the beggining arch your lower back, so you will gain some extra power for the
element(BUT IT LOOKS UGLY AF IKR).
Also, after those attempts do some other "basic" exercices for strenght developing
in body parts for hefesto:
chin ups, one handed chin ups, hefesto on the floor(lol dat is impossibru, just
find some lower bar and place your legs as much behind the bar as possible, to make
it harder
(with same princip of warm up and false grip grabbing)).
Back lever hefesto?
Get comfortable with the chin grip back lever, thats the easiest thing
(I dont even count back lever as the element as long as you are not doing hefesto
from there, or holding the wide ass shit one, but no one gives a fuck ah).
How many regular hefestos for this one?
Well, number is just not important, I only guess that you can't go with 0..
It's about the hefesto quality(form, control, speed(-)).
Sit on the bar again(is yo ass painfull dang), make the same false grip, and go for
those negatives, but this time..dont go into the "inverted swing" position, but to
the back lever.
*keep your core flexed all the time.
Armwrwstling helps alot.
Finally unlocked the full planche press on thumbs and "diamond" back lever hefesto.
*funny thing: this variation of hefesto is much easier then the regular one..if you
can stand the pain.

English:
Do you want a strong OAP start?
Well, try the DEAD OAP.
Arched body and everything completely deactivated, pull until 90� keeping this
asset.
This, to my advice, is the best exercises for a strong OAP start , without using
synergic contraction of other muscles.

The group body is just a starting point for Russia(Planche?), and Russia has a
great variety of ways to use it to train Russia very slowly.
First, the characteristics of this action on the arm lean forward parallel to the
body, also known as 'horizontal support'.
Now let me talk about the muscle strength and endurance needed for this action.
Deltoid, bicep, pectoral, latissimus dorsi, buttocks, can be said that the whole
body into.
Training methods.
The first step, you have to overcome the pressure exerted by your forearm, shoulder
pressure, feet parallel to the stool on the bench, back and forth pressure or
fixed.
You can make your feet jump when you are familiar with this action is very useful
to overcome the arm pressure.
Muscle strength training, flat before, deltoid, pull-ups, barbell rowing,

Phase IV:
According to the height of the body, it can be divided into two categories:
high-posture Russian takeup and low-posture Russian takeup.
Its main function is to develop the whole human upper limb strength, which can
improve the static and dynamic strength quality of the human body.
It can play an important role in developing balance and supporting capacity.
It can improve the central nervous system, which is beneficial to the firmness of
bone, the flexibility of joints, the firmness of ligaments, the strength and
elasticity of muscles.
At the same time, it can accelerate blood circulation, increase vital capacity,
promote growth and development, and improve sports ability.
If the senior can hold up for a long time, try to stretch the legs slowly backward,
while stretching, it is better to lean forward slightly in order to maintain
balance.
When the split leg can reach 15 seconds, you can do the combined leg exercises!
Enhance physical fitness and health
Regular and comprehensive exercise is beneficial to physical and mental
development.
It can regulate people's psychology, make people energetic, and play a role in
strengthening the body, cultivating sentiment and training the will.
Matters needing attention
1. Because this kind of push-ups is very difficult, we should step by step, from
easy to difficult, from less to more, from light to heavy.
2. This kind of push-ups can not be done by ordinary people, so according to their
physical condition, control the exercise load, do not try forcibly.
3. Be prepared and relax to prevent injury and muscle stiffness.
4. Minors and the elderly are forbidden to practise, and there is no physical basis
for them. Patients with heart disease and hypertension are forbidden to practise.
Exercise methods
Straddle Planche:
1. AdvanceTuckPlanche: 4 groups * 30 seconds
2. Sidemonkey or vertjump in standing position: 4 groups * 20-30 times
3. Plank (Flat or Weight-bearing Flat Supporting Transverse Abdominal Muscle
Exercise) 4 groups*60 seconds
4. Take 2 days a week to try out the split-leg Russian stretch.
Note: This kind of training is very painful in the early stage.
Continuous training of 5-6 groups is enough, but after completing the first stage,
your adaptability will become stronger, and this kind of training belongs to static
training, i.e. isometric contraction.
Compared with three muscle contraction modes: centrifugal, centripetal and
isometric contraction, it brings the weakest muscle soreness.
Later, it can be used as strength endurance training, plus more groups. Experience
is added to 10 groups.
Reminder is to practice at least once every other day, because muscles need to
recover.

CALISTHENICS MUSCLE GAIN PROGRAM BY VADYM OLEYNIK
Many people think that it is impossible to gain muscles with calisthenics. This
type of thinkign is wrong.
With calisthenics you can build lean muscles with pure strength, endurance and full
body control.
It will take more time then in bodybuilding, but it is still possible.
Also, the muscles that you build with your own weight will be more productive.
Train hard with pure dedication. With this program your achievements will be
unbelievable.
I can tell you from my knowledge that if you mix ENDURANCE sessions with
CALISTHENICS WEIGHT sessions (also based on endurance), you build pure lean and
strong muscles.
In this program you will learn how to train in a proper way.
Also, in order to gain muscles you need to train maximum 4 days per week:
1st day: endurance session with a little weight;
2nd day � weight session;
3rd day � endurance session;
4th day � weight session;
After each training you need to rest 1 day and eat well. The food should be clean
and healthy.
In the last three days of the week (each of these three days).
I recommend doing cardio for at least 40 minutes (it could be jumping rope,
running, bike, climbing, swimming or cardio machines in your gym).
After cardio you should do full body stretching.
Remember: if you take rest for over 48 hours, you will start losing strength and
endurance.
Your rest should be no longer than 48 hours.
Never do these routines without warming up.
Your warm up should be at least 20-30 minutes to get your muscles ready for this
hard work.
You should do all exercises with a good form:
Pull ups
Elbows out (never in) full range of motion (as you go up your chin should get over
the bar, as you go down your arms should straighten out),
your body should be straight and relaxed (dont put your chest to the front, also
relax the muscles that are not working in the exercise),
make effort to pull yourself up (dont make effort to lower your body, just relax it
and let it lower by itself).
Dips
Lower to 90 degree position only (never lower than that), your elbows should be out
in a 45 degree position approximately
(for weight sessions � elbows should be closer to the body than 45 degrees), make a
full range of motion (as you go up straighten up your arms).
Push ups
Elbows out, body straight, full range of motion.
DAY 1 ROUTINE
Weight session.
Weight for pull ups/dips starts from 10 kg depending on your level. As you progress
this weight may go up to 60kg.
Weight on regular dips and pull ups should to be the same.
You may use the weight vest (especially if you are working with 20 kg or less) or
belt and hang the weight on a chain � or combination of both vest and belt.
-5 pull ups of close grip - 6 sets. 1-2 minute rest between sets.
-10 regular dips - after 5th dip each time you go down you make a static hold in 90
degree position for 5
sec - 3 sets.
-5 pull ups of wide grip - 6 sets. 1-2 minute rest between sets.
-10 regular dips - after 5th dip each time you go down you make a static hold in 90
degree position for 5
sec - 3 sets.
-5 pull up of close chin up. 1-2 minute rest between sets.
-10 regular dips - after 5th dip each time you go down you make a static hold in 90
degree position for 5
sec - 3 sets.
DAY 2 ROUTINE
Endurance session
-10 regular pull ups
-20 regular dips
-10 regular pull ups
-20 regular push ups
Try not to rest or to rest as little as possible between these 4 exercises. These 4
exercises is one set. You need to make 20 sets.
It is possible that you will not be able to do all sets when you try this routine
for the first time.
However, put the goal to be able to do 20 sets.
When you are able to do 20 sets with no rest between rounds and just 1-2 minute
rest between sets � you can put on extra weight (starting with 5kg and up to 20kg
with time).
DAY 3 ROUTINE
Weight session
First you do a superset (without letting the bar go):
-5 pull ups 5 muscle ups 10 bar dips 5 pull ups (with weight at least 5 kg - up to
20 kg).
Then you do the following:
-2 sets of 5 push ups the first one regular grip, the second one diamond push up
with weight starting from 30kg up to 80 kg
-2 sets of 5 regular dips with weight starting from 30kg up to 80kg
-2 sets of 5 bar dips with weight start from 30 kg up to 80 kg
Everything written above is one SET (You need to progress to be able to do 5 sets.
Once you can do 5 sets increase the weight that you are putting on).
DAY 4 ROUTINE
Elements Practice
-Front lever raises to 90 degree with additional weight on your legs from 4 kg up
to 15kg
5 reps of close grip L-sit pull ups,5 reps regular grip L-sit pull ups,5 reps wide
grip L-sit pull ups - its
one circle (repeat 5 times).
-Archer pull ups with additional weight (from 10 kg up to 20 kg) - 2 reps per hand
is a one set. You
need to do 5 sets with 1 minute rest between sets.
-Clock typewriter ( you go up to the side of one hand than when your chin is
already over the bar you
go to the side of another hand and down. Then same thing but with another hand). 2
reps per hand is
one set. You should do 5 sets with additional weight of 10-20kg (about 1 minute
rest between sets).
-Regular typewriter:
10 reps - 5 per side is one set (5 sets). Between the sets 2 minute rest (with time
you can use additional
weight of 10-20kg)
DAY 5 ROUTINE
Legs day with weight. Leg day is super important if your goal is to grow
proportionally and gain
muscles. Legs contain the largest muscles in your body. If you tain legs with
weight, not only you will
look/feel great and proportionate, but also:
1. Your body will be more in a muscle-production mode (since your body will need to
work to
recover and grow such large muscles).
2. The weight of your legs will be like an extra weight that you always have on �
your upper body
will get stronger and more muscular to correspond.
-Squats
1st set is a warm up set 10 reps with 40 kg
2nd set is a warm up 10 reps with 70 kg

sets/reps. Do the
exercises with a good form. Make a goal to do them eventually with the weight I
wrote.

-Indoor workout
Handstand Push-Ups = You can do this on handles if you wanna make it harder.HOW
WIDER HOW HARDER AND YOU WILL GET EXTREMELY WIDE
10 x 10 if you cant do 10 on handles, do max but more sets..
BEAR TRAP (4 sets of 30) First you must stand at least a foot away from the wall,
then lean on the wall using your shoulder to brace yourself.
Now bend your arm up into a �L� position with your fist in front of you. (Note:
your shoulder and elbow should be against the wall)
Now to do the BEAR TRAPS you must use your elbow to push off of the wall (Not
jerking your body) in a controlled movement.
(Also notice that the further you are from the wall the harder it becomes)
ARM RAISES- 6 sets total (2 sets of 100 forward, 2 sets of 100 out to the sides
together, and 1 set of 50 out to the side 1 arm at a time)this works out your
shoulders,
but notice that if you tuck your head down while doing �out to the sides together�
you would now be doing your back, you may also use things around you to add weight
if you like, example: boots, telephone book... etc.
I LIKE TO BEGIN WITH ARM RAISES, TO GET THE BLOOD TO THE SHOULDERS..
-CHEST-
3.PUSH UPS- if you switch positions you must do at least 2 sets straight before
changing...(diamonds, shoulder width and wide)
START OFF WITH COUNTDOWNS FROM 10 (do 10 push ups hold for 5 seconds then do 9 down
to 8...etc.)
Always from 10 down to see how far you can go. You might go from 10 to 7, next day
you might get to 6. Once you reach 10 to 1 you then must attempt to go back up to
10, same rules apply.
INCLINE PUSH UPS (25 sets of 10, with 5 seconds rest in between each set while
leaning against a dresser, wall or anything elevated. Remember the higher you are
the easier it is.) Since you�re not in the park you will need these to imitate the
stairs
DECLINE PUSH UPS (10 sets of 10, pace yourself because these are more difficult)
These are the total opposite of the INCLINE PUSH UPS. You must now place your feet
on anything elevated. Remember the higher you are the harder it is
BURN OUTS (all the way down and half way up, and all the way up to half way down) 4
sets total. Push yourself until failure, until you can�t go no more.
.SIT UPS, CRUNCHES- these you can perform right in your bed
SCISSORS (5 sets of 10) You start off by sitting almost at the edge of your bed,
sit on your hands (palms facing down hand over hand) then lay back. Now raise your
legs slightly and start opening and closing them like scissors, the trick is that
while opening and closing them you will have to place them foot over foot as they
close (open legs, close them right foot over left and then switch with left foot
over right)
CRUNCHES (5 sets of 10) You start off the same way as the scissors. But this time
you would raise your knees and torso together into a crunch

ZEF ZAKAVELI
-Wednesday routine
Very easy routine, it's better if you have a partner to do this one.
"The Wingate duel" most of you seen me post a vid of O' and I doing this awhile
back.
It's one of my favorite routines that I do every time I get a chance to workout.
**If you don't have push bar setup ,you can improvise with anything that you can
change your push-up angle with**: it's basically a push up pyramid that you build
twice in one set.
You start with 1push up on the lower lever then another push up on the higher
level, start with 1 all the way to 10, then 10 again then work you way down.
A total of 220 in one set, to complete 5 sets is the goal.
Try to find a partner to go back and forth with.
March 28th:5MD,easy routine today, 125 dips in minutes. That's a good one I try
everyday.
April 4th:Forearm killah, this one is kind've difficult to explain but here we go:
you start with 5 headbangers(sitting in the chair position)then immediately you do
another 5 fist apart legs down body stiff,
now back to the 1st position, this time 10, make sure you're in the correct
position : fist touching knees slightly bent, core engaged,
after that 10 in the straight position, make sure you're are straight with your
legs 2gether and that your chin clears the bar.
Last one,15 more on each position all without dropping 'll try and post a demo
today because I know it's kind've confusing when you read it.
Let me know if you have any trouble.
April 11th:Bk bridge, easy routine this week, it's called Brooklyn bridge because
this was suppose to go down at least 4yrs ago.
It's very simple:10 steps , heal to toe, drop and do 10 push ups, repeat for a
distance of around a whole block, or around the park.
That's a routine :that will increase your push up # and endurance.
You understand the Bk bridge name? No? You'll find out...lol
April 18th:I was gonna make the Niro set today's routine but it's too late now,
instead we're gonna do a simple pyramid of pull ups & baby CTI's ,
I call them that because that headbanger name sucks don't know who came up with
that BS, anyway:
we're gonna start with 2 pull ups-straight form(stiff as morning wood),
on the last rep with your chin above the bar keeping your body straight you're
gonna do 2 baby CTI's ,
then repeat this time 4 of each, 2,2,4,4,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,9,9,-back to 2.
Your body should be straight on every rep.
This is one of the exercises I'm currently doing to prepare for Ukraine, I'll post
a demo vid this afternoon.
April 25th:just like "dead mans hang" this one is the dip version.
5secs then 1dip, 10secs then 2dips, 15secs then 3dips- all the way to 30secs then
6dips,
then work your way down back to 5secs then 11dips, seconds go from
5,10,15,20,25,30,25,20,15,10,5.
1 dip for every hold, the last set is a 11, try to do this set with the least
amount of break ups as possible.Demo vid 4this at request.
1st :you're gonna need a short bar or a pool preferably with corners.
Okay this routine is the long version to my "Zakaveli warmup" , instead of 5 muscle
ups & five dips down to 1, we're gonna do 10 muscle ups & 10 dips down to 1 of
each.
If you're gonna do it in a pool make sure you use the deep end so your feet don't
touch the wall or floor. Use the corner of the pool so that it will be easy for you
not to touch the wall, the corner is also a better place to complete your dips for
obvious reasons(if you don't know ask me).
If you're gonna use the short bar, make sure it's at least to your chest anything
higher is gonna make it more Bar-baric.
The routine is easy, start with 10 muscle ups immediately follow by 10 dips, after
the 10 dips go straight into doing 9 muscle ups then 9 dips. Repeat all the way to
1 of each. NO BREAK UPS!!!
With the pool go all the way down locking out you arms with every rep, holding your
breath everytime you go below makes it challenging.
With the short bar you get a leg workout. You have to use your legs to help you
jump into a muscle up, that's why you have to use a low bar. Your hands must stay
on the bar at all times.
I know the description might be a litte vague, ask me any question you might have
about the routines.
2nd- This is a simple and effective, 50 pull ups, 50 dips and 50 push ups, all
timed.
This is how I usually start a workout, it's a good warm up/ cool down.
As always,try to complete with the least amount of breaks as possible to decrease
your time. Make sure you keep track of your progress. This workout will help you
increase your numbers and muscle endurance.
Any questions...?
-Wednesday Routine 10.10.12
Congrats Ray L,you made the WR's. This week is a push up routine created by Ray L,
it's a good one that's why it's here.
1st: 40 second hold in a full plank(top of push-up position) followed by 40 push-
ups then straight back to a 30 second full plank hold followed again with 30 push-
ups this time.
Continue all the way to 10. Get a extra 5 seconds then 5 push-ups for to add a
cherry on the top.
You should have good idea on how to do a lever if not, you're should do some
research and come back. This blog is for routines and advice.
I needed help posting this routine, so I ask'd Ray L to explain it this week since
he's the only person I know to complete it and the only person I know that can
describe it.
Lever routine:
Part ONE.
Number of participants needed = 3.
1. The athelete performing the front levers hangs from the bar.
2. The �counter� positions himself in front of the athelete on the bar.
3. The athelete performs 10 front levers. With each rep, the counter provides
resistance for each rep (i.e., the rise of the feet) by firmly and abruptly pushing
down on the tops of the feet.
The push should occur when the athelete reaches an angle of about 45 degrees (with
the ground).
4. To prevent �backswing,� the third participant kneels behind the athelete on the
bar and simply holds his arm out to block the legs from swinging back.
5. EACH LEVER SHOULD START FROM A DEAD HANG. DO NOT USE SWING. DO 5 SETS OF 10.
PART TWO
Number of participants needed = 2.
This is similar to part one in that front levers are performed for reps. However,
this time, there is no resistance given � but backswing should still be avoided.
1. Do 10 front levers, each from a dead hang.
2. On the tenth rep, the counter holds the athelete�s legs up in a perferctly
horizontal position FOR 10 SECONDS.
When being held in the front lever position, the athelete should be as straight as
possible. Do not let the hips sag.
Do 5 sets of 10, with a hold on each tenth rep.
Human routine:
Easy one(pyramid diamond push-ups).
This time we going to start with 2 diamond push-ups straight into a squat
thrust(burpee)
but instead of fully extending on the thrust, you�re going to stay in a squatting
position with your arms extended in a forward position while making a fist like
you�re holding two hammers,
hold for 10 seconds on every interval of your pyramid.
So, 2 D� push-ups burpee into a squat hold for 10secs followed by 4 D�push-ups the
20secs hold.
D� Push-ups: 2,4,6,8,10,8,6,4,2
Squat holds: 10,20,30,40,50,40,30,20,10
Cool down routine: Close grip(fist touching) pull-ups ladder set style, keep your
body straight as a arrow
complete 1 pull-up with a 10 second hold with your chin above your fist followed by
2 pull-ups with another 10 second hold.
Your pull-ups will go from 1-10, your holds will stay consistently 10 seconds.
Make sure you do not bend form your waist and your legs stay together at all times,
remember **straight as a arrow**.
Good training!

IRONLOO
-Core death: Zero rest in between exercises, 10 down Pyramid drop set.
10 ring rollouts + 10 ring push ups + 10 dragonflags. then 9,9,9, 8,8,8 down to 1
rep each = done.
-500 rep dip routine consecutive reps only count no pauses allowed go as high as
you can with no pause. 3-5min rest. every time add one set.
20-22-24-26-28-30-35-40-45-50-55-60-65 = 500reps.
+
Pullups 100+reps in as little sets as possible.Every time add more reps
46-40-30 = 116 reps
-The 50down: You can start at a higher or lower number to start. Good for the body
to recognize endurance at a heavier weight do this once per week.
Set1= 50 pullups
6minutes rest
Set2= 40 pullups
5minutes rest
Set3= 30 pullups
4minutes rest
Set4= 20 pullups
3minutes rest
Set5= 10pullups
2minutes rest
Set6= Maxout till absolute failure! write down this number, next week beat it at
all cost eventually you want this number to be higher then set1.TRAINHARDDD!!!
Still feel strong go back down to 5 sec hang without leaving the bar
-Another good one to shock up a lacking exercise pick 1 dips, pullups, pushups.
Works best for me with pushups.
Build lactic acid tolerance:ex= for pushups 1 set only.

no rest 1 sec keep going till you cant do a normal pushup
Now repeat this whole thing doing pushups on knees cause you cant do the normal
ones, after you cant do the normal ones hold the top static of the pushups till you
cant hold that.You pretty much go till failure once you heal try out regular
pushups.
2-4-6-8-10-8-6-4-2 = 50 reps
do 2 push ups stand up, do 4 push ups stand up i usually dont stand up i do an l-
seat or get my knees 2 my chest,

The rule T.Lee and I agreed on was that if we broke anywhere within any subset,
we'd have to start that respective subset all over again starting with pulls.
This is an excellent setup as a warmup, for multiple rounds, OR mixed in with
several 5MD's (Minute Drills) such as we did.
I constantly remind myself to train outside my comfort zone NOT inside it!

This is going to be quite a bit harder in terms of volume than the recommended
routine so I would say this is absolutely not for beginners.
Sets I typically pyramid the amount of sets starting at 5, then 4, then 3 etc.
You can raise or lower this number, it really doesn't matter, just you know...don't
be dumb.
You can also have the same number of sets all the way through, it's just not what I
personally do.
There's nothing wrong with it, I just don't do it.
Rest This can be looked up on here, theres nothing special about how I reccomend
you rest in between sets.
If you want to build a lot of strength, rest until you feel good to go, if you want
to get big... it doesn't really matter, just eat a lot more than normal.
Let's get down to business to defeat the Huns.
So in my example, the first push and pull exercises have 5 working sets.
These two are the exercises I would want to improve the most so they have the most
volume.
The more you practice something, the better you get so don't be afraid to really
pack on those sets if you're hitting really low reps such as 1 or 2.
Did they send me daughters When I asked for sons.
The second pair of exercises has 4 sets, these exercises are gonna be what assists
the main goal exercises.
Pick these exercises carefully, for example: it wouldn't make much sense to use an
overhead press movement to assist something like planche push ups.
Help my arms hurt The next pair of exercises are general strength or imbalance
exercises.
This is typically where I would put horizontal pulling and an overhead pressing
movement.
You should always have a horizontal pull in your routine NO EXCEPTIONS.
Last pair The last pair is for small muscles.
So isolation movements such as curls, tricep extensions, ab exercises, etc. would
go here.
Some general info I typically recommend you max out in every set, not everyone
agrees with that and that's okay.
It's just how I do it, there's no reason why you can't apply this type of routine
and have a set number of reps.
As for leg day, you're on your own there,
I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough there yet.
I also did change my training style every now and then, you can look through my
post history and see that.
However, I found that this sort of routine, every other day, yielded the best
results for me.
Feel free to leave any questions or insults. I'll probably reply with something
that is incredibly dumb.
If I left something out, yell it in my ear and I'll be sure to clear that up.
EDIT: So I recorded the dips portion. Doing pull ups separately.
Turns out I didn't have the proper weight at home so I actually had to go heavier
than what I said on here.
EDIT 2: So I'm getting mixed responses and I'm really not sure what to do. Pull up
time I guess? I guess I personally am a 90 degree dip man.

READINGS-------------------------------------------------
1)I would like to share my experience of doing nothing more than body weight
exercises and the transformation that i made.
During my induction i was a hurt 143 pounds. I was dopesick and hated life.
The first 4 weeks i got my health back in check then i started to work out.
To start all i would do is a lap around the track and do as many pushups between
each lap for an hour a day.
I started to incorporate pullups and dips into my hour routine and after about 2
months i started noticing differences and getting compliments.
After those 2 months i was finally able to do a pull up on my own and started
taking working out more seriously.
6 days a week i did pushups, pullups, and dips only for 60-90 minutes.
I did diamonds, close, wide, elevated, and declined pushups.
The only pullups i did were hammer and wide grip.
I personally believe the benefit from wide grip pullups in unparellell to anything
else to get you big.
I would never do the same thing twice.
One day i would superset push/pull, another day just push, another just pull and i
added dips almost daily to whatever i was doing.
I believed since my options were so limited muscle confusion would be extremely
important.
As far as numbers i would do at least 600 pushups and 500 pullups but on days where
i isolated just one i would do up to 1k pushups and 800 pull ups.
I would take about 45 second breaks between sets but never too long and try to get
at least 40 pushups/set and 15-20 pullups.
I would get a **** ton of reps within an hr and half.
And i would always keep moving in between sets by walking.
Results- last april 2014 when i was released i weighed 212 pounds from the 143 i
weighed a year before.
I was pretty big. Noticeably big where i got a ton of attention.
My arms though i never measured where extremely large especially my triceps from
all the pushups and dips.
I was bigger than i was 10 years ago then when i used weights in college. Xl t-
shirts where tight around my arms and chest and it felt good and i looked good.
And btw im 5'10''. People asked me daily how i got my arms so big, so i know it
must have been working and making a difference.
I wasnt extremely lean either, and thats because of the **** food they feed
you..but ill get into that.
Everything i ate was very high in carbs.
Mostly pasta, potatoes, and all the left over parts of the animal only inmates and
dogs eat.
And i got big from it. I tried to drink a pint of milk a day but milk was hard to
get with budget cuts.
On my commissary i bought a lot of soup and peanut butter.
I ate on average 3 ramen soups a day in addition to the 3 **** prison trays i got,
and w packs of peanut butter.
I don't know what the nutritional value of the jail food was but my 3 soups and 2
peanut butter packs gave me an additional 37 grams of protein a day.
That leads me to believe that nutrition alone can completely change everything.
I got big, real big of pushups and carbs.
Strength- a weak after my release i went to a gym with my buddy just to see how my
strength improved.
I was able to bench 325 and rep 225 for 7. I guess thats not bad for never touching
a weight.
But i did look bigger than what my strength proved.
I looked like i could have been much stronger due to my size.
I regret not keeping up with it.
If i switched over to weights at that point i would have blown up and my strength
would have gone through the roof.
But when you cage a man up for a while he is much more worried about females and
having fun than the gym. So almost a year later im starting to get back into it.
Muscle memory is an amazing thing so i hope to get it back.
I just wanted to post this for anyone out there who can't get to a gym but wants to
get big at home with no equipment. Its possible, i did it. Just make sure you eat
big to get big. You will never be as strong as you can be lifting weights, but you
can get a hell of a lit bigger than the average guy doing nothing.
Anf lastly, im still going sober strong, working full time and trying to be a
productive member of society. If anyone has any questions about my routine or want
me to get more specific about something please just ask.
I know this was long but i hope it was an interesting read for someone out there.
2)(one arm chin up)Anyway, you should add them to your workout man, as much as you
can.
An old head i was locked up with taught me how difficult it is to overtrain with
calisthenics.
You can do a ton of reps without worry. Pullups will tear your arms up.
I focused on wide grip bc i believe there is no better excercise to get wider and
thicker without weights.
I remember when i first started the pain in my biceps was tremendous from pullups.
My arms were the most impressive part of my body. Once i stopped growing my arms
very gradually continued to.
If i didnt do this first hand I'd call bull **** on it even being possible.
As far as dips, hit the rack hard man. I always did dips even years ago when i hit
the gym.
The tear the give your arms is awesome. Not to mention the shoulder and chest pump
u get from dips.
The bigger you make your tri's the bigger your bi's will look.
I personally don't think 3x a week will make a huge difference, but its a great
start and foundation to begin doing more.
I credit my grown completely to diet and the amount of reps i would do.
I will try to get some before and after pics together. The before pics are my
motivation to never get high again. I was so small, WEAK, and strung. I just looked
weak. Sad.
3)Unweighted squats all the time. I hated lunges so i never did them.
I would do a couple hundred squats in between sets as my rest or i would walk a
lot.
My upper body was much bigger than my lower.
I started doing squats about 3 months into my bid. It did help tremendously tho. My
upper body just grew so much more
4)As for over training i wouldn't worry about it. With calisthenics you don't need
to rest like you do lifting heavy weight.
I actually found it to be more detrimental taking time off. Probably in my head
though.
8-15 reps is a good goal for pull ups.
The reason i never did 20-30 reps a set like you hear some guys say they do is
because i didnt take long breaks.
I took short breaks and went right back at it. I felt like the harder i worked
while i was fatigued the more i would gain.
For pushups and dips try to set a goal where you do more like 40-50 a set.
And do them right. I've seen a lot of ****ty pushups locked up cause guys thought
they were tough replying out 75 of them.
Your better off doing 5 the right way then 50 the wrong way.
I don't feel i would have pushed myself hard enough doing 8-15 rep pushups.
Possibly if i only took 15 second breaks or so.
I would also do negatives once a week.
These are hard as hell with pullups and with pushups letting yourself down real
slow tears your arms up real good.
I was also eating a lot of fat, carbs, and calories so remember my diet was a big
part of It.
I wish you luck.

I've been to jail/prison. in jail there are no weights, a chin and dip bar if
you're lucky.
we had to get creative with water bags, slick floor (flys). we got to sleep alot
too, especially if there is frequent lock ups.
At one point I was doing pushups daily as a cardio source with my workout partner.
We would take turns (about 30 secs or so rest) doing one set of flat pushups while
the other rests and then decline pushups back a bad forth.
we did sets of 25 -30 (cycling by the month) for 16 sets of 25 or 30... totaling
400 - 480.
on the month we cycled 16 sets of 30 we finished with incline pushups but with the
other laying on your back (back against back) for four sets to failure.
we trained a split like this; back, shoulders, bis and tris, legs.
On that "bit" I was there for two years pretrial custody time, went in a scrawny
160 at 5"11 and came out a cool 200.
I never even lifted weights before so I started that when I got out and shredded
pretty fast to about 185-190ish.

NECK
Boxers in NYC don't do any of that.
They simply press there hand against the forehead and press hard for 20-40sec.
making resistance with the palm. Then the same with palm over left ear pressing
left and then switch to the right.
Then both hands in back of head and press backwards. That's one set. 4 sets
everyday. Watch and feel your neck grow in 2wks.

CALVES
Reddit Fitness
This is completely anecdotal but at least for calves you certainly can grow them
with high rep exercises.
I've ALWAYS had tiny calves.
Like small enough that you'd joke about them even though I was a state long jumper,
sprinter and can squat 170kgs.
I've tried for years to grow them and nothing in the gym seems to work
3 months ago I broke my leg and have been in a boot since.
Instead of using crutches which are so slow as fuck I basically just hopped
everywhere. what do you know.
My good leg's calf literally doubled in size in a month.
It seems to have leveled out now to a consistent size but its close to twice the
circumference it was previously.
Hopping would be a set*rep scheme in the order of 10 x 100-400 per day.
Pretty stupid to try emulate in a workout but in my experience (what you asked for)
that's evidence that high rep/set can prompt size growth.

ROCKRAIDERS
-Pulling strength on a featureless plane with zero equipment: the reverse planche
family (and a few other exercises).
Are you stuck on an infinite plane with no bars or tables or overhangs or doors
where you can stick a bed sheet?
Well, too bad, since rows are a really useful exercise and even the humble inverted
row can be progressed to the challenging straight body one arm version.
But if you are too lazy to find a setup for rows or you ended up in a bare prison
cell, you can still train your back muscles, potentially to very high levels, but
it will be less efficient without a bar or rings or weights.
So what are your options?
All these variations have you supine on the ground,
with a focus on shoulder hyperextension (your arm goes behind your body line,
mostly thanks to the rear deltoids),
scapular retraction (mid and lower traps, rhomboids) and depression (lats),
posterior pelvic tilt (abs and glutes) and in the later variations elbow extension
(triceps).
First exercise variation: the reverse pushup.(1)
As Jeff demonstrates, for good range of motion you need the luxury of something
like two chairs, but you can also do it on the floor with two stacks or books (or
some carpets) or even nothing,
just pressing your elbows down (range of motion will be limited).
To scale the difficulty, the absolutely easiest version has your butt on the
ground,
then there is the version with bent legs, where you are straight from the knees to
the head like in a tabletop bridge, and the straight body version which is the
hardest.
The advantage of this variation is that you get some range of motion, while most of
the following exercises will be isometrics,
where strength carries over to around 30� around the joint angle and you get less
stimulation for muscle growth.
Next variation: the reverse planche lean from a tabletop bridge position.
Do not contract the calves and hamstrings to reduce the load, rely only on the rear
deltoids.
If this gets easy, do the lean with straight legs.
After this, we have the dragon press and forearm manna/reverse planche/Victorian
variations,
where your lower body is not in contact with the ground, so depending on how
extended your legs are, you have the usual leverage progressions:
tucked body, l-shaped/piked, advanced tuck, one leg out or half straddle, straddle,
half lay, full lay.
Dragon press:
this is sort of a harder dragon flag variation, with the advantage of working your
shoulder extension through some range of motion if you do it dynamically instead of
only holding the bottom position.
A full lay dragon press is around front lever level of difficulty, and it can even
be done with one arm to really load one side's rear deltoid and tricep.
The wide dragon press is also hard because shoulder transverse extension is another
way of isolating the rear deltoids.
Forearm Victorian (or manna/reverse planche):
this is an isometric hold, where only the forearms and hands touch the floor and
your body is horizontal.
Even the tucked version is difficult, here is a tutorial to get started.
On parallel bars or two objects it is easier because your body can sink down lower.
On parallettes or any support where only part of the forearms is in contact it's
harder, and the floor full lay is insanely hard, even harder than a one arm dragon
press and around the level of an actual ring Victorian.
Reverse planche:
the second hardest skill, I have written about it in detail here.
Harder than the dragon press and similar to the forearm floor version, the least
impossible variation is on parallel bars or parallettes, while the floor version is
at the limit of human performance.
Now imagine how hard it would be on rings.
Floor Victorian:
nobody has managed to float above the floor while only supported by the hands for
more than an instant.
The closest thing, and arguably the hardest street workout element that's been
achieved, is the hold with one forearm's support.
So these were the hardest pulling elements requiring only the floor or a few
stacked objects like books.
If you trained only these your progress would probably be much slower than if you
had access to bars and rings, but it's interesting to see that these options exist.
Bonus: for vertical pulling, you can do floor sliding pullups, and to make them
harder use one arm or increase friction.
Similar to an ab wheel rollout, there is the floor pullover, which can be done on
knees or feet.
For the side deltoids, there is the Jeff Cavaliere side delt exercise(2) and the
side plank lean
(1)When it comes to bodyweight exercises for building a bigger back we often think
that our only option is a pullup or some sort of inverted row or chinup.
That said, the pullup alone will not help you to balance out an overdeveloped or
tight chest or rounded shoulders.
If you're going to do this you're going to need a bodyweight exercise that you can
mimic the back row exercise that you can do anywhere!
In this video I show you how to perform what I call the reverse pushup.
This home bodyweight exercise is used to develop the mid back muscles and area
between your shoulder blades.
You would want to use this to counteract the tendency we have to get tight and have
our shoulders pulled forward into bad posture.
The great thing about bodyweight exercises is that you can use them to build a
bigger back without having to have access to an elite gym or even a pullup bar in
this case.
Just find two benches or things that you can prop your elbows up on and get between
and you can do the reverse pushup and start building a bigger back today.
(2)To perform this side delt bodyweight exercise all you have to do is get in a
plank position with your forearms in contact with the ground.
Begin by dropping down just a bit (collapsing on the forearm) and then reversing
the motion and pushing up as you rotate your body away from the working shoulder.
It should look like you're doing a T-Stand plank or pushup.
The shoulder and side delts of the arm on the ground will be fired up and your core
will be working as well to stabilize you.
Do as many reps as you can of this shoulder exercise and then switch to the other
arm.

-The Victorian cross and reverse planche are extremely rare moves, and now they
have been achieved on the floor. Also a reflection on the difficulty of these
moves.
NOTE: This is a detailed examination of the challenge of these two elements.
If you just want your mind blown with something way harder than any full planche,
skip to the bottom of this post.
The Victorian cross on rings is essentially a front lever with arms at body height.
It is one of the hardest gymnastic elements, even among the elite gymnasts it is
rarely done, as shown here.
The street workout community has embraced this move, and some very strong people
like Grzegorz Kowalik, Zoran Pesterac, Flo Lit, Matteo "Deuanuis" Spinazzola and
Andrei Kobelev, and several others, have held it with clean form for a few seconds.
The reverse planche in gymnastics refers to the hollow back handstand, but I think
the street workout community was right in relating this name to this skill
In the rest of this post I will refer to the second skill with this term.
So when we talk about straight arm elements with a horizontal body, we have two
families, with respective skills for a hang, "hand level" and support position.
Prone body: back lever, Maltese cross, planche.
These skills require high strength in scapular depression (lats and chest),
protraction (chest, serratus anterior),
shoulder flexion (front deltoids, biceps long head),
and elbow flexion (the elbow is loaded and the bicep prevents it from
hyperextending into snap city).
Moderate spinal erectors and core strength is required to keep the legs horizontal
and posterior pelvic tilt.
Supine body: front lever, Victorian cross, reverse planche.
They require high strength in scapular depression (lats and chest),
retraction (low and mid traps, rhomboids),
shoulder extension (lats, teres major, rear deltoids, triceps long head),
elbow extension (triceps, especially for the Victorian and reverse planche).
Moderate core and abdominal strength is required for a hollow body position.
Note that the reverse planche is not an acknowledged element in the gymnastics code
of scoring, probably because this move is even harder than the Victorian, which is
already only for the elite.
Probably because it requires extreme strength in shoulder hyperextension, where the
prime mover is the rear deltoid and the lats can't even help, they are in a
position of insufficiency.
In fact nobody has ever done a reverse planche on rings, the closest thing is the
manna, which is a very piked reverse planche.
Also note how the tricep is very involved, and the move has some affinity to
impossible dips, which are full bodyweight tricep extensions.
Also note how in the manna the body line is completely horizontal while nobody has
managed a reverse planche without a body line slightly below the manna's level.
In the street workout community, the following moves are affine to the Victorian
cross and reverse planche because of the focus on the same muscles:
Parallel bar Victorian. Note the focus on tricep strength to prevent the elbow from
bending and sending the body into a vertical position, as shown here.
Single bar Victorian.
Dragon press. Can be held as an isometry or executed as a straight upgrade to the
dragon flag, with the limiting factor being shoulder extension strength.
In fact the full lay dragon press is around front lever level of difficulty, if I
am not mistaken.
One arm dragon press, even harder and the guy in the video is one of a few select
in the world who can execute it.
Bent arm Victorian, this is the end range of a full front lever row. Holding the
waist against the bar for some seconds is significantly harder than the standard
front lever hold.
Parallel bars reverse planche. Really hard because when the shoulder has to extend
behind the body line the lats can't help and the rear delts do almost all the
lifting.
If you want a lot of examples of variations of these moves, I recommend watching
some compilations on the channel Noa Man Workout.
And now the most insane versions of these skills I have seen.
In fact I would say this is the current pinnacle of street workout elements in
difficulty of execution.
Floor Victorian for 3 seconds. There is one forearm support, but this is still
incredibly hard.
Pietro Bruno is 180cm/69kg (5'11, 152lbs) and only 18 years old, who knows what he
can still achieve.
Floor reverse planche by Flo Lit.
Harder than on parallel bars because by gripping them you get more irradiation by
the nerves.
################################################################################
-One arm pike pushups: a useful tool?
The most common exercise that trains shoulder flexion at end range is the handstand
pushup.
The most efficient exercises for muscle mass and strength are the ones where full
range of motion is achieved and low skill is required so the prime movers get tired
before the stabilizing muscles can no longer maintain the body's balance.
The wall handstand pushup with elevated hands for full depth fits these
requirements, because it requires low skill and can serve as a good tool for a
while.
The freestanding handstand pushup requires more strength, and much more if done at
full depth,
but it also requires a lot of balance and handstand practice, so it does not fit
the low skill requirement and many strong people may be unable to use them as an
efficient training tools.
Now here comes the one arm pike pushup. Here are its advantages in my opinion:
It is easy to scale in difficulty. Elevate your hands if the floor version is too
hard, elevate your feet if it is too easy.
It does not require great coordination or balance.
More than the two-handed version, but way less than a freestanding handstand
pushup, so it can be a great tool for hypertrophy since it's easier to accumulate
volume.
It is unilateral, so you can decrease muscle imbalances by doing your weak side
first and not doing more repetitions with the strong side.
The full depth version is easier to set up compared to wall handstand pushups.
You don't need two blocks or parallettes close to a wall, you can go close to a
ledge or on a table and put your hand at the edge.
This advantage also applies to free handstand pushups, which require high skill,
and common pike pushups, which will soon be too easy for most people.
################################################################################
-Legs and lower body calisthenics V2: a comparison of the existing exercises, a
possible progressive routine with no weights for advanced quad and hamstring
strength.
Note: if you have access to barbell squats and deadlifts, they are more efficient
than this. If you train at home, you can get some dumbbells or bags of stuff, it
would be more efficient than this.
TL;DR: If this wall of text scares you, read the "important note" slightly below,
go to the bottom (routines section) for a routine and only consult the exercise
section for progressions and the mobility/stability section slightly below if you
need it.
So who remains? Those who train outside, those who like minimalism, those who train
in a prison cell maybe.
Important note:
In all the squat variations it's recommended to keep the kneecap in line with the
pointer toe of the foot to avoid knee valgus stress.
It's safe to let the knee go past the toe if there is proper alignment.
Sissy squats and leg extension variations are safe if you don't have knee or
anterior cruciate ligament problems, some people use them to rehabilitate bad
knees, but if you are not sure about their long term safety there are alternatives.
Don't have enough mobility/stability?
If you lack ankle mobility, you can try this squat mobility routine and band
distractions.
If you have the strength and balance but not the mobility, while your dorsiflexion
catches up you can put something under the heel.
Rounded back pistol squats and two footed deep squats with feet together require
around the same ankle mobility so you can use the second exercise to find out how
much elevation you require.
Can't keep the free leg off the floor? Do hamstring stretching (for example
Jefferson curls) and pike compression work.
In the meantime you can stand on a raised surface (for example a stack of books) to
let the free leg drop as needed
THE EXERCISES.
I'll be comparing all the practical leg exercises that I am aware of, based on
these factors:
how intense the hardest version is (so how much maximal strength they can give
without getting in a plateau),
how hard they are on the joints (so some of them require more patience to let the
connective tissue adapt or they are not recommended for people with knee problems),
how much skill they require (mostly in the form of balance, it's harder to get
strength and size gains for exercises that require more skill).
I'll also give some prerequisites that are helpful in my personal experience, but
you can experiment and see if you are already capable of the basic level of a
progression.
1)Single leg squats in general (pistol, shrimp, deep step up) with weight on
midfoot.
Strength potential: advanced to exceptional for quads (for elevated advanced
shrimp, pistols are intermediate at best), maybe advanced for glutes.
Joint stress: medium.
Skill: varying (low for deep step ups, maybe high for elevated advanced shrimps).
Recommended prerequisites: 8 deep bodyweight squats.
I am talking about any squat variation where only the working leg's foot touches
the ground during the entire movement (the only exception is the free leg's knee
for shrimps)
and the weight is on the midfoot (so distributed equally between inside foot,
outside foot and heel, in a stable tripod position), with or without shoes/an
incline/objects under the heel.
The center mass of the body will be over the midfoot, to achieve maximum depth you
need more ankle mobility (dorsiflexion) depending on how much of your body you keep
behind (free leg behind you, vertical torso, arms behind the body increase the
demand).
So in order of dorsiflexion demand, from lowest to highest: pistol squats with a
rounded back, pistol squats with a neutral spine, deep step ups, elevated advanced
shrimp squat.
More dorsiflexion means that the knee is more distant from the center mass and the
hips closer, and vice versa. Here is an image showing how the torso angle affects
the leverages. Longer lever = more torque at the joint required to extend it.
Rounded back pistols have the highest hip torque and elevated advanced shrimps the
highest knee torque.
An interesting fact is that the rectus femoris (the middle quadricep muscle on the
surface) and the hamstrings attach both at the knee and the hip (biarticulate
muscles), so they can distribute the load between the glutes and the quadriceps.
So even though the torque is higher for the glutes or quads, they can at least
partially share the load.
Note that if the weight is over the toes and not midfoot, this is no longer true
and the squat becomes quad dominant, the article makes an example with hindu
squats.
Progression: Box pistol squats are a simple way, you start with low range of motion
by sitting on a tall object like a chair, and gradually use lower objects until not
needed.
An alternative are freestanding shallow pistols:
go as deep as you can come back up and gradually increase the range, or go as deep
as you can pause, hold a few seconds, come back up on two legs and repeat (so you
do negative repetitions).
Or do step ups starting with a low object and gradually increasing the height until
you don't touch the ground at the bottom.
After you can do freestanding pistols, you can increase the difficulty by being
more upright, by tucking the free leg under or behind you (becomes similar to
shrimp squats) or by keeping the hands on the chest/head/behind your back.
It will require more ankle mobility and probably require more quad strength, though
the glute will still work and even contribute to knee extension through the rectus
femoris.
Adding weight to pistols and deep step ups is an excellent way to progress.
2)Single leg deadlift/Romanian deadlift.
Strength potential: intermediate for glutes and hamstrings.
Joint stress: low.
Skill: medium-low (some balance).
With added load it's a great exercise, without it becomes easy quickly.
3)Single leg squats with the weight on the toes (mostly shrimp squats).
Strength potential: exceptional, maybe elite for the quads.
Joint stress: medium to high.
Skill: medium to high.
Recommended prerequisites: 8 deep squats if starting from the beginning, 5
pistols/deep step ups if starting directly from intermediate shrimps
With the heel not touching a surface, the weight is on the toes. Here the glutes
can't help as much and it truly becomes a quad dominant movement. The further
forward the knees, the harder it becomes for the quads.
Some padding for where the free leg's knee touches the ground can help to avoid a
painful impact.
Progression: with any of these variations, you can use books or something similar
under the free knee to do partial range of motion or under the working foot to do
extra range of motion.
Increase the intensity through more forward knee travel of the working leg by
staying more upright (or even leaning back) or having one or both arms behind the
body.
A standard progression to avoid cheating:
split squat->beginner shrimp (free leg's foot and knee lift at the same time)-
>intermediate shrimp (only knee touches the ground)->one hand holding the free
foot->both hands holding the free foot->elite shrimp squat (elevated two hands
version).
4)Sissy squats.
Strength potential: exceptional to elite for the quads, maybe world class with a
full depth single leg version.
Joint stress: high, extreme if single leg.
Skill: high, very high if single leg.
Recommended prerequisites: none, you can start with very low range of motion.
A proper sissy squat is done with no hip hinge, so a straight line from the knees
to the head.
They are possible on an elevated surface. I have not seen a full range single leg
version but it may be possible.
Also there is an assisted single leg version.
Progression: you can start with the toes almost touching a wall and descend until
the knees touch it, and progress by starting with the toes further from the wall
until you don't need it.
5)Anchored leg extensions, vertical shin.
Strength potential: advanced for full lay, maybe elite or world class for full lay
single leg.
Joint stress: low, if single leg then medium or high on the inner knee.
Skill: low for two legs, medium to high for single leg to avoid knee
twisting/valgus.
Recommended prerequisites: 8 deep squats. The fully tucked version is similar to a
normal squat.
All you need to know about this great exercise can be found in this post.
6)Anchored leg extensions, horizontal shin.
Strength potential: advanced to elite for full lay two legs, maybe world class for
single leg versions.
Joint stress: medium to high on two legs, extreme if single leg (including risk of
knee valgus/twisting).
Skill: low on two legs, high single leg.
Recommended prerequisites: 5 single leg squats, but I don't recommend this exercise
because it seems to be the most stressful quad variation.
The full lay version looks like this. You can sort of do it partial range with a
park bench (most benches will break though), shown here.
Since you bend at the knees and your body is unsupported, you can use a leverage
progression:
bent hips and torso forward, bent hips and vertical torso, straight hips and arms
at sides, arms on chest, arms behind neck, arms extended overhead.
And restarting the progression single leg if you are crazy, you will then need to
twist your body to maintain knee tracking and avoid valgus.
7)Kneeling leg extensions.
Strength potential: advanced.
Joint stress: low to medium.
Skill: medium if done with high range of motion because of balance.
Recommended prerequisites: none.
The kneeling leg extension requires just the floor, the full range of motion
version looks like this. Find a foot width that works well for you to reduce
stress.
A simple way to progress this is starting in the kneeling position with the feet
touching a wall behind you, going down until the head touches the wall and back up.
Gradually increase the distance from the wall. If you want, keep the hands on
chest, head or arms overhead to increase leverage.
8)Nordic curls.
Strength potential: world class hamstrings.
Joint stress: low unless you use insufficient padding.
Skill: low.
Recommended prerequisites: 5 single leg hip thrusts.
Also known as Russian/Harop/natural leg curls or glute ham raises (GHR).
There are many places to do them: under heavy furniture, a telescopic pullup bar
placed low, stall bars, a partner, even a car.
The gastrocnemius muscle of the calf helps in knee flexion so you can feel it work.
If you anchor at the sole of the foot instead of the heel, you can get epic calf
cramps, be warned.
Progression: assuming you have no counterweight or band, the easiest way is keeping
the thighs vertical and bending only at the hips.
The more forward and the straighter your hips, the harder it is.
Negatives with enough support from the arms to come back up are helpful.
If you put your hands on a scale the highest number displayed is the amount of
assistance you are using.
If you keep the arms on your chest, on your head or even straight overhead it gets
harder.
If you get very strong, restart the progression with a single leg. The best I've
seen is this assisted single leg variation.
9)Suspended and sliding leg curls.
Strength potential: intermediate to advanced hamstrings, depending on friction for
the sliding version.
Joint stress: low.
Skill: low.
Suspended curls can be done on rings or straps like the TRX. Sliding curls can be
done on any slippery surface, something with wheels or a stability ball.
Furniture sliders are a cheap way. You can let the heels or the body (rings, floor)
slide.
The most low-tech version outdoors would be using a basketball, soccer ball,
skateboard or something similar.
Progression: change how much of your body is on the ground, how extended your hips
are (straighter = harder) and how close to the feet your arms are.
For example lower back on the floor and arms in front->upper back on floor and arms
in front->upper back on floor and arms behind->restart with a single leg.
An example progression here (ignore the Nordic curl parts, I don't think they are
the best way).
Also worth mentioning the existence of inversion boots leg curls, if you can try
them out a single leg version may be a way to improve the challenge.
Also by keeping the hips more extended, if it physically makes sense, you could
increase the challenge because of a longer lever arm.
10)Hip thrusts/glute bridges.
Strength potential: intermediate glutes, maybe almost advanced.
Joint stress: low.
Skill: low.
These are great to isolate the glutes if done properly (posterior pelvic tilt, full
hip extension, here is a guide), helpful to reduce anterior pelvic tilt too.
They are not challenging for long, after the shoulders and foot elevated single leg
version gets easy you need more volume to keep making size and a bit of strength
gains.
They can be done on the floor (glute bridge) or by elevating the shoulders (more
range of motion, harder), or shoulders and feet (even more range of motion,
hardest).
All you need is a wall or chair or sofa or bench, if you have endurance in the
tabletop bridge position you can use your straight arms to elevate the shoulders.
They can be done with the feet on rings but it shifts some work from the glutes to
the hamstrings so it's not so great.
Progression: this one is good.
Donkey kicks->glute bridge->shoulders elevated->shoulders and feet elevated->glute
bridge march->single leg glute bridge->single leg shoulders elevated->single leg
shoulders and feet elevated.
11)Lower back/spinal erectors.
Strength potential: intermediate.
Joint stress: low.
Skill: low.
If you can do a full back lever, the best exercise is the back lever leg lift.
Or the isometric hold alone, if you have enough planche and back lever volume in
your routine it can suffice.
Else, there are reverse hyperextensions or reverse planks on feet and shoulders.
Without added weight your strength will plateau at some point.
12)Calves, adductors and abductors.
Strength potential: good enough.
Joint stress: low.
Skill: low.
There are two calf muscles, soleus and gastrocnemius.
The former is strong with straight knees and the latter with bent knees.
To train these do calf raises with one or two legs, preferably on a stair you you
can get full range of motion with a slow eccentric and a pause at the bottom, or
you'll just use the elastic energy of the Achilles tendon.
Straight legs calf jumps are also good.
If you have short muscle bellies you probably won't grow much, while if you have
good calf genetics you'll grow well even with low loads if you do high volume.
Also just doing sports, running, jump roping etc. can grow the calves.
The adductors and abductors are mostly trained for stability and compound movements
will already stimulate them, especially single leg ones.
Here are some isolation exercises if you want.
How do we squeeze the most out of an easy exercise for muscle growth?
If there are no harder variations to train, we can increase the total volume (more
sets), frequency (more training sessions) and density (less rest)
and always go to failure or close so all the muscle motor units still get
recruited, or do rest-pause training.
It may work for hypertrophy (and as a consequence slightly increase maximal
strength) but it will be less energy and time efficient than adding weight.
An example of high volume guys with big legs are cyclists, especially those who
often go uphill.
We can also shift to training explosiveness, with sprinting or plyometrics or
parkour, tricking, tumbling etc.,
but this will mostly let us express our already existing strength potential (based
on maximal strength), and the volume needed for hypertrophy may cause injuries.
It can help though, like for gymnasts who deadlift heavy thanks to tumbling.
ROUTINES.
If you are already doing the sidebar's Recommended Routine, a simple addition is to
move L-sits to an unpaired progression and to pair squats with the hip thrust or a
hamstring curl variation.
Simple lower body routine (no weights):
1-3 times a week depending on recovery and other activities like sports or high
intensity interval training, for each exercise choose a progression and do 3-5
sets.
You can pair exercises and rest at least 90 seconds inbetween, or at least 3
minutes if unpaired.
For single leg exercises, you can rest up a minute between legs if you feel it
helps.
For beginners:
Squat or single leg squat progression.
Hamstring curl or hip thrust progression.
This option is easy to integrate with a full body routine as mentioned above, or
you can do it on dedicated lower body days.
You can pair these progressions so it goes like: squats, 90 second rest, curls or
thrusts, 90 second rest, squats etc. until 3-5 sets done for each exercise.
For trained beginners and beyond:
Choose one exercise progression for each category.
Advance in progression level when you can do a certain amount of reps (8-12 tends
to be a good amount),
if you can do less than 3-5 reps of the new level you can add in a few reps of the
previous level to complete the set.
Really, use any progression method you want, you can read about them in the
exercise wiki.
Quad dominant (shrimp squats while allowing the weight to go towards the toes,
sissy squats, leg extension variation).
Hamstring dominant (Nordic curls, sliding or suspended curls).
Hip thrust progression (for glutes).
Lower back exercise (can do less/skip if you do enough planche or back lever work).
Calves, adductors, abductors, flexibility and mobility etc. if you want. This is
optional and up to you.
Quads+hamstrings and glutes+lower back are good pairs if you want to save time.
For glutes or lower back, if you have maxed out the progression and can't add
weight, do each set 1-3 reps away from failure (can get hard if you can do really
high reps, that's why past some point it's more practical to add resistance).
Example routine for a beginner:
2x a week, 3 sets of 5 box pistol squats each leg, 3 sets of 7 glute bridge march
each leg.
Example routine with the lowest equipment requirements (just a basketball) and
avoiding the more controversial exercises:
shrimp squat progression, basketball leg curl progression, single leg hip thrusts
from a tabletop bridge and foot on the ball, reverse plank with shoulders on the
ground and feet on the ball.
Example routine that is very cost-efficient (less than $10, setup in this post):
vertical shin leg extensions progression, Nordic curl progression, single leg hip
thrusts preferably with shoulders and feet elevated, reverse plank with shoulders
and feet elevated.
Example routine for an advanced trainee:
3x a week, 5 sets of 5 elevated advanced shrimp squats each leg, 5 sets of 4 Nordic
curls with hands on the head, 5 sets of 20 single leg elevated shoulders and foot
hip thrusts each leg, 5 sets of 15 back extensions on rings.
Example routine with dumbbells or sandbags (similar to my current routine):
2x a week, 4 sets of 5-8 weighted pistols, 4 sets of 5-8 Nordic curl progression, 4
sets of 5-8 weighted single leg hip thrust, 4 sets of 5-8 weighted shoulders and
feet reverse plank.

These workout everyday programs have actually worked great for me in the past,
I have done sandbag tricep extensions(standing) and sandbag curls with a weight
thats my 20 rep max,
but I did 300 reps each day, each set taken to failure.
Basically I would do 100 reps 3 times a day, each time, I will take each set to
failure, rest 30 seconds and start again,
do this until I have reached 100 reps, thats it for then, and do this 3 more times
a day.
I would do this for 12 days, by the 12 th day,
I will have gotten a LOT weaker and the weight that was previously my 30 rep max
would become my 5-6 rep maxx,
then I would rest those muscles for 5-7 days, and retest my performance again,
it will have increased dramatically and I would have added a significantly more
muscle mass(its crazy how dense and thick and big my arms would become after this
rest period,
I added a quarter of an inch size to my arms within 2 months of this, real lean
muscles.) and how stronger would I become in such a short time.
I had to make do with light weight at first, but after 3 months I switched to a
HUGE navy duffel bag, customizable to up to 400 lbs when fully loaded(with small 30
lbs sandbags),
so I started doing neutral grip overhead presses and close grip(neutral grip) bent
over rows with that thing AND this time around I would pick a 6-8 rep max weight
and do 100-120 reps total each day in the exact same manner that I described in the
previous paragraph,
basically the formula here is that the total daily rep number is 15 times the
number of maximum reps that you can bang out with your working weight before
failure,
and dividing that by 3 an doing that 3 different times a day. then you do this for
12 days and then rest for 5-7 days, and then see an explosion on your strength and
muscle.
After 4 years if training like that with a sandbag I built 19 inch arms LEAN at
the height of 6ft6 inches of height,
you see the focus were delts, supperchest(ovh press) and back(bent over row) and
they are HUGE,
arms were secondary muscle gropus and they still grew to 19 inches, I am 9 percent
bodyfat. And btw never mind that pussy pro pic its 3 years old.
I ate 4 times a day, at till i was full, always clean food but never counted
macros, EVER.
So I am really impressed with this approach of yours about working out everyday,
I think its a good way to workout if you are using the correct poundages and
volume, try the way I did it for like 3 months, I am sure you will be happy.?
