jmy77 Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 I absolutely love BWC. My question is how many of you are into BWC and what exercises do you know? I am trying to compile as many different exercises as possible. I already use: Push ups: Standard, Diamond, Knuckle, Fingertip, Hands In, Hands Out, Tiger Bend, Hindu and I am working up to hand stand and one handed push ups. I mix and match to change thing s up. Can anyone add to this list? Squats: Hindu and Jump squats. I am no where near One-Leg Squats. Abs: Crunches, ¼ Sit-Ups, Inverted Crunches, Leg Lifts and Flutter Kicks. Other: Jumping Jacks, Mountain Climbers, Squat Thrusts and Chair Dips. What are your opinions on BWC and please add to this list. If anyone doesn’t know how to perform any of the exercises here just ask! Here is where I started with my BWC. Week 1, Category 1 http://www.angelfire.com/oh/ROCK1/pre.html Enjoy.

KickChick Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 Lots and lots and lots of previous discussion on calisthenics / bodyweight exercises here on these two threads in Health & Fitness (although I do believe there are many many more ... just query "Furey" ) http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=3147 http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=4424 Love the Furey ~~~~ ...

KickChick Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 https://www.trainforstrength.com .....click on "workouts".... good workouts!! (and free )
jmy77 Posted February 10, 2003 Author Posted February 10, 2003 Here is a more organized Pre BUD/S program (Its working for me): http://www.snipeweb.com/snipe/prebudsworkout.htm Does anyone know if Matt Furey's Gama-Fitness program is worth the $$$? I ordered his Combat Conditioning book after starting the Pre BUD/S. I liked it and it was priced fairly but, the Gama program is quite pricey (around $600 I think)...

Maestro Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 Jmy77, looks like you enjoy pushups! I'm with you man, they're the best. If you want something really challenging, try these, though I'm not sure I would recommend them to be done before you've got the one-handed's pretty good, 'cause if you don't have the strength, you might end up doing a face plant, as these are a lot more of a ballistic exercise than normal pushups. -Hands and feet shoulder-width apart (probably wider feet at first, but bring 'em in eventually, the idea is to focus on the arms here) -Spring off with your hands, putting much more force into one side than the other, at the same time impart some extra twisting force with your legs. (picture rolling over, only about 2 feet off the ground) -Once you get it, you can do it one way, landing in the down position and pop right back the other way. I know it sounds a bit out there but believe me, myself and my training partner do these, and they develop power and arm speed like no other! Might as well take my advice--I don't use it anymore.
jmy77 Posted February 11, 2003 Author Posted February 11, 2003 Thanks Maestro! Sounds awesome and looks like i have a new goal! IMO pushups are the greatest thing since sliced bread. It's gonna be awhile before i can do those but you gotta Aim High! "Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft." - Pres.

Maestro Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 That's right man, you'll only grab what you reach for. I dunno though, I think I would put the toaster between sliced bread and pushups, 'cause really, it makes the bread just that much better ya know? Might as well take my advice--I don't use it anymore.
