In previous posts I've talked about the need to progress bodyweight movements by using more difficult variations (1-arm pushups instead of regular pushups, 1-leg squats instead of regular squats, etc.). Of course when I say "the need" I am assuming that someone who is training in the first place is looking to actually improve. If you don't progress, why the heck are you training?
Anyway, those were a few examples of how you could progress those movements without any extra equipment. However, if you happen to have a fully-loaded SHOP like I do, you can simply perform the movements with added resistance like a weight vest!!
1-LEG SQUATS W/ WEIGHT VEST (45 LBS)
PUSHUPS W/ WEIGHT VEST (75 LBS)
Feet elevated and hands on blocks for greater ROM
I love the weight vest, and it can be added to virtually any movement: pushups, squats, pullups, dips, lunges, etc.
I'm not saying anybody needs to go out and buy one, but for those who may be interested this is probably the best place to look:
WEIGHT VEST
And no I will not receive any commission if you go there, I'm just really happy with the product I have from them so I wanted to share the love!
And yes, I did shave my head!
like the shaved head!
ReplyDeleteThanks! In the first video it's actually a 2-guard, but later that night I took it even closer using a beard trimmer. I like the close shave.
