ES Conditioning Workout 1

Ok, so last night I did some bodyweight conditioning to merge the conditioning bit of the Elastic Steel manual and the fundamentals of the Gravity Advantage manual. I will create A and B workouts and do them on alternate days for one month, then up the ante for another month and then assess the situation.

So for last night I did:

1. Superset 1 (x3): Press Ups Max Reps then Horizontal Pull Ups 10 reps
2. Superset 2 (x3): Similar things to Bulgarian Split Squat x 10, then stability leg curls
3. Superset 3 (x3): Bodyweight Chest Press (using suspension strap things like a USA or TRX) x 8, then 8 standard pull ups
4. Finish strength with 1 set of 10 Horizontal rows

Then I moved on to a couple of exercises from the Gravity Advantage manual Fundamental section that I need to work on, I did 2 supersets of: 20 Side Plank Raises then 25 reverse crunches.

That's about it.

I don't have suitable height chairs to place my bar on to do the horizontal rows but I do have a pull up bar so I suspended some straps and attached my bar to the straps which allowed me to do the horizontal pull ups.

If you have heard of suspension bodyweight training then you might know of the USA (universal strenght apparatus) and the TRX . My make do strap system follows these principles and let me do the rows and the bulgarian split squats and the leg curls and the bodweight chest press. Versatile.

Photos of my straps and exercises tomorrow. Ooh, and a benchmark on my current stretching.
