The Gravity Advantage

Last night I got back in to training after a week off. I needed a break after all the training time I put in building up to my 3rd Degree TKD grading - the break has benefited me and my family of course meaning that I have been able to spend more time with them.

Anyway, I am a bodyweight exercise fanatic but I do understand that extra load is needed sometimes even just for variety. I’m always mega interested in different bodyweight exercises that might tax the body in new ways - for example, normal press ups and elevated spiderman press ups (you now which one is harder, yeh)

So I did a short routine made up of exercises from Paul Zaichik’s Gravity Advantage manual.

1a 8 x weaving pressups
1b 8 x horizontal rows
repeat

2a 8 x dive bomber pressups
2b 8 x narrow horizontal rows
repeat

3a 8 x bridge and curl
3b 8 x diamond hand pressups
3c 8 x hammer press
repeat

stretch

rest

all good
