Body weight exercise?
 

Does anyone add in Body Weight Exercises to your workout routine?

At the end of a chest workout i like to do 3 different sets of pushups to failure.

Anyone else do things like this.

i do a lot of plyometrics after my weight lifting. some are body weight some are not.

I do quite a lot too, Push ups are great as are chin ups and dips

I used to go to a circuit class that was all about using your own bodyweight for a workout, really fast paced

Interesting. I never really see people do body weight exercise at the gym, but they are great for you. After a hard workout, bodyweight exercise to burn out.

I do push-ups, chin ups and sit ups at home when I don't have time to go to gym

spam..........

I will do bodyweight excercises the odd time BUT on their own days as overtraining is soooo easy if one is not carefull.....

Thanks for the advice! I have been having positive results from this first cycle. I will say that more research would have been great for me which is why I am very happy that I found this site. Everyone has been extremely helpful and it means a lot to interact with a community that is so willing to give a helping hand. This is my first cycle and im a little hesitant to just stop now, I was wanting to gain weight and strength and so far have been successful. Only draw back with th test is a little pain at injection site, not to bad about like getting a flu shot. Will definitely keep you guys up to date with my progress. If all works out I would definitely be interested in running a more advanced cycle.

I do push-up and chin ups that's all. I like doing them at maximum amount of reps I can.

Just push ups after chest I just love the pump!

when i take off from the weights for 3 weeks, i do a prison workout. 800 pushups in 35 mins. i then do trash bags with water in them for arm curls. you should try it. it hits the different parts of the biceps. another thing is get rope or a towel and get 12 milk jugs with water in them. you can do lateral raises with them. again it hits differents parts of your delts that the weights wont hit. it will shock your body. i do this for 3 weeks 3 times a week. then i take off for 2 weeks.

Only when the gym is closed during holidays and shit and bodyweight chin ups where part of my routine a while ago.

Dips, chin ups and hanging rows. Some push ups, some sit ups, but those are usually weighted.

I like to stick with the basics when i can not hit the gym, crunches, cardio, pushup and pullup. Dips.

Bodyweight would not even maintain what i have for muscle on me.

my local park has lot of gym equipment that works on body weight has leg press lat pull down chest press row and dip and pull up bars and i do a little cirtcuit when over park with kids
it was like a special 2012 thing built has cross trainers and bikes and quite a lot of stuff to keep active and really good for kids in area also

if i ever have time away from the gym ill use tht time to heal any tendons & ligaments form all the hard lifting tht i do in the gym.. i totally agree tht you can get a fairly good pump from push-up & pull-ups.. but as far as doing those manuvers when i cant go to the gym, i really dont see it benificial as far as real hyperthrophy training to increase what ive already build in the gym.. so the rest time i would rather do instead of those manuvers..

Lunges and squats are about the only thing you can do for the lower body. Squat jumps are also a great leg workout. Pushups, pull ups, and dips for the upper body. There are a lot of exercises you can do that only use your own body weight and/or limited equipment. Take $100 to walmart. Get a yoga mat, an iron gym, and some power bands. Do jumping jacks, a good crunch workout, mountain climbers, squats and squat jumps, lunges, push ups, pull ups, and dips. Use the power bands to do delt workouts and curls, use them to add resistance to your squats, etc etc etc. Do hanging leg raises on the iron gym (using the free ab straps).
