Bodyweight Exercises

Bodyweight Exercises
January 15, 2019 Dan Raimondi

If you follow a more traditional strength program ( 2-3 days per week with an emphasis on the barbell movements) you might find yourself wanting to do some bodyweight exercises but not sure where to put them. As I mentioned in Sneaky Cardio, I like to sneak bodyweight exercises into my warm-ups. Prior to upper body movements, try working in a few sets of bodyweight rows or pull-ups. They don’t need to be done to failure- leave 3- reps in the tank. It’ll help warm you up, and it’ll give you a little extra work for your upper back. You can do the same thing with push-ups, dips, split squats, lunges, any trunk work, etc..
