bodyartt Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 In weight lifting, low reps can go with heavy weights. But in bodyweight exercises, there is no weight aside from bodyweight. So if i can do only 5 regular dips, i add a backpack and do three. Just an example....point is, i make bodyweight exercise difficult enough to do only five or under five reps. is my method efficient to create hypertrophy?

C.O. Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Then technically they arent body weight exercises any longer then right? Sounds like a good adaptation and definitely a way to capitalize on your at home workouts. I'll give the backpack weight technique tomorrow and I'll let you know how it goes. -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeering Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Dude, check out "The Naked Warrior" by Pavel. It will be EXACTLY what you need for this. I'm not messing, go get that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eiji Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Progression in calisthenics is making the movement harder. Progressions would go something like this:Band assisted dips>parallel bar dips>ring dips>Bulgarian ring dips/archer ring dips Push-ups> archer push-ups > one arm push-ups > weighted one arm push-ups Pull-ups > archer pull ups > assisted one arm pull-ups > one arm pull ups BW squat > archer squat > pistol squat > pistol jump squat or weighted pistol squat As you ca see adding weight also works but is not completely necessary. I like to do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am looking forward to adding weight to my movements once I reach a certain level. I think kettlebells will work really well with pistol squats, leg raises, pull ups, bridges, calf raises, grip work. I'm still a long way off needing to add them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
