Let s talk about how to maximize your conditioning using nothing but bodyweight training. After all, it s one of the greatest tools you have for training and there is no gym needed. What I have for you are some of the top methods I use with just bodyweight to maximize conditioning.
Bodyweight Training Basic: Progression is Key
It doesn t matter if you re training with just bodyweight, a barbell, or anything else, you ve always got to follow some sort of progression. Progression is relative to your fitness level and it takes into respect the following aspects:
Your ability to move/execute certain movements correctly and with efficiency; the better you are, the higher level of progression you can get to in regards to overall movement difficulty.
How much volume you can handle (total amount of reps and sets, training sessions per week, etc. As you get into better shape overall, you can increase overall volume.
When you have a way to progress, you ll have a way to get better. At the same time, not everyone was created equal in regards to overall fitness, so there needs to be ways to regress your training as well if necessary.
Last but not least, I just wanted to hit on the importance of having a plan. As they say, without a plan, you plan to fail, right? For me and my athletes, I typically have most of my programs planned out at least 3 to 4 weeks ahead, if not a bit longer.
With this amount of structure you can at least focus on your major goals instead of always doing something totally different without any sort of focus at all Date: 2020-08-31
