Who is this bodyweight routine for?
- This is for anybody who wants to get strong and have fun with a gymnastics-inspired routine. It is highly bodyweight-exercise oriented (no external weights) and also includes lots of strength & skills one can train on the rings and the floor. This is one of the most complete routines you could get that will allow you to progress in a safe manner.
- However, I recommend you should be able to do 3x5reps pull ups and push ups before jumping into this.
- If you got that kind of strength though, then get yourself a pair of rings and start to have a blast with this routine!
- If you do not have that basic level of strength yet, you may get better results by following this routine on /r/bodyweightfitness. It is a simple, but very effective, full body workout 3x a week that will get your basic level of strength up efficiently using bodyweight exercises.

- They are so cheap nowadays, there is no excuse to not get them!
- The higher of an anchor point you could find, the more fun many exercises become, especially if you’re tall!
- Chalk to help you hold a false grip. You may not need it, but it definitely helps.
- Flat Aylio bands for shoulder mobility and warm up.
Constant refinement
This program is regularly updated to make sure it is a SUSTAINABLE program. I am constantly applying my research and updating it to reflect the reality of progressions work. It is of a very high caliber because it closely represents the template that I follow myself. It also boasts an impressive skills section which is a reflection of my fascination with melding gymnastics, yoga and everything in between. As much as we all want to build strength, I find skill work is what keeps everyone most engaged, happy and the variety gives more avenues to which one could experience leveling up. I have also had many beta-testers along the way so this has been tested on real, live people!
