I'm looking into somehow changing my routine because I'm sick of depending on equipment or a training partner, I really love the idea of just getting out and doing your thing! I know Will does a lot of body wieght stuff but does anybody else have any experience with doing this and have you made gains!

When I first began exercising I circuit trained using only my body weight. I did see some improvement but I don't know for sure if this was just due to beginning exercising or because of the training itself. It was from an article in the Winter '01 issue of MH-18 magazine:

 

Start by jogging for 45 seconds (I would do this in place) then drop into exercise 1 doing as many as you can in 45 seconds. Then jog again for 45 seconds and move onto exercise 2 for 45 seconds, etc. When finished with all the exercises do the entire thing over a second time. If this is your only work out do it 4-5 times a week, if not replace 2 of your other workouts with this routine.

 

1. Wide Arm Press-Ups

 

2. Crunches

 

3. Lunges

 

4. Triceps Press-Ups (Close arms elbows in)

 

5. Frog Sit-Ups (Butterfly your legs and reach between them to touch

your feet)

 

6. Squat Thrusts

 

7. Diamond Press-Ups (90 degree legs with thumbs and index fingers touching to make a diamond with your hands. Let your chest touch the ground)

 

8. Alternate Knee Sit-Ups

 

9. Star Jumps

 

10. Sprints

Gynmastics. A lot of them look better than bodybuilders. There are some sites online that go into some of their training. Like beastskills.com

It takes phenomenal strength to do things like a planck, iron cross, dips on rings, front levers, reverse levers, maltese....
