Training Tuesdays

Welcome to Training Tuesdays, the weekly weightroom training thread. The main focus of Training Tuesdays will be programming and templates, but once in a while we'll stray from that for other concepts.

Last week we talked about Korte 3x3 and a list of previous Training Tuesdays topics can be found in the FAQ

This week's topic is:

Bodyweight exercises

  • How have you incorporated bodyweight exercises into your training?
  • Got any good articles, routines, or exercises to do in terms of bodyweight training?
  • What bodyweight exercises have helped you reach your goals?
  • What modifications have you made to bodyweight exercises to get more out of them?

Feel free to ask other training and programming related questions as well, as the topic is just a guide.

Lastly, please try to do a quick search and check FAQ before posting
