The question of the week seems to be, "Can Body Weight Only

Workouts REALLY build muscle?"

 

Now if you're a hard gainer skinny dude and you want to pack

on solid muscle mass, body weight training is not the answer.

 

If you're training for maximum strength, body weight training is

not going to help you that much either.

====================================

 

-Well if you've been lifting heavy for a long time you'll be really

surprised by how hard body weight training can be.  I have a lot

of friends that weigh over 250 lbs and can bench press 300-400

pounds but have trouble doing a couple pull-ups.

 

If you're totally off balance or only strong at certain lifts, bodyweight

training could be something good for you to work on.  It's called

relative strength and you should have some to stay well rounded.

 

 

-If you're short on time you can do bodyweight workouts when you're

in a rush.

 

 

 

I've been guilty of thinking this myself, big time!

 

I used to think body weight workouts were for pansies.  Real men and

athletes lift heavy weight and get huge right?

 

Well after years upon years of powerlifting and bodybuilding style workouts

some of my flexibility and cardio went downhill fast so I decided to work

on my weakness.

 

We've been using some pretty intense bodyweight circuits at Strength Camp

where I"ve been training in the morning lately, and I have nearly puked on
numerous occassions!

 

 

Now I'm not talking about Richard Simmons type aerobics or any wussie stuff

like that.  I'm talking about Body Weight Workouts designed by the best

coaches in the arena; Namely, Adam Steer and Ryan Murdock.

 

These are the same guys that designed those insanely popular Tacfit Commando

workouts last year that a lot of military personnel were using.

 

Sure they've gone a bit mainstream to appeal to more people.  The workouts

system is called, ShapeShifter and it blows their previous stuff out of the water.

 

New Extremely Challenging ShapeShifter Workouts << Don't let the cartoon fool you!

 

I don't know if I told you but later this summer my wife and our new baby

daughter Karina are taking a 3-week trip to Sweden to visit relatives.  We are

super excited! 

 

Why am I telling you this?

 

Well maybe you've got a trip this summer.  Is there a gym near your destination?

 

If not do what we're going to do.  Print out some ShapeShifter bodyweight workouts

and come back from vacation looking, feeling and performing as good you as you did

before you left!

Bottom line: Adam and Ryan's new ShapeShifter program gets my endorsement.

They are good guys. They know their stuff and they are the best bodyweight coaches

out there. 

 

Please do not let the ShapeShifter cartoon fool you.  He's suppossed to look

friendly and inviting so that more people will feel comfortable trying these workouts.

 

But these workouts are really tough and not for everyone, okay?  If you're not used

to this kind of training you're in for a rude awakening.  So don't let the cutsie cartoon

dude trick you into thinking these are pansie easy workouts....they are NOT!

 

Wow this email got long.  Gotta run.

 

Keep (bodyweight) training hard,
