Gymless/Bodyweight Workouts.

[LeVampire]

Would anyone please suggest me a good routine for Bodyweight Workouts, it can be a book/post/thread/vid/dvd/anything actually .. One of those Gymnastics/Navy/Seals workouts.

I'd need an intense one .. Less than 8 weeks routine.

My Stats .. If you need them :

I also need a intense workout? however, keep in mind that a diet is needed to. I have been told actually that the diet is more important then the workout itself. This is difficult for me since i am a poor college student but i wish you luck.

EDIT : I may go easy on the running, I'm sure my legs will break if I really do the whole thing !

This is a great book for bodyweight workouts.

I too would like to learn a gymless workout... but would one get better results with a gym workout? The biggest advantage I can see is being able to better isolate muscle groups.

after checking out the forum and the videos I have opted to buy Never Gymless. I'm glad you two vouched for Ross. Until it comes in the mail I will be using the navy seal workout guide.

After awhile you will hit the wall with body weight workouts, I went 6 months were all I did was BW training. I suggest if you are doing this because you don't have access to equipment, check out Ross Enamait's Sandbag stuff. This is some crazy stuff.

You get a huge military duffell bag, a bunch of large ziplock bags, and a bunch of sand(you can get this at Home Depot). Fill the ziplock bags with sand, until you have a weight that you can shoulder press about 12 times, and then go find some area where you can run hard(preferably a track but maybe a level field will work).

Now you are set to start a super intense, lactate inducing workout.

Warm up properly(you can make the bag pretty light and go through a lot of basic movements), run, etc do whatever you got to do get ready for a total body workout.

Sprint 100m, jog back to start
Back squats with the bag almost to failure(probably around 15-30 reps. You will be fatigued after the run)
Sprint 100m, jog back to start
Overhead press with the bag almost to failure
Sprint 100m, jog back to start
Deadlift almost to failure(remember you're body is about ready to die at this point)
Sprint 100m, jog back to start
Have someone place bag across your lower shoulder blades/middle back and do Push ups almost to failure.

If you can, repeat cycle three times. This is a cheap workout that is insanely tough and good at developing a high work load capacity.

Enjoy!

(btw, if you like to challenge your body, bodyweight exercise is eventually going to bore you to death.)

I've read about the Ross Enamait .. But they said it's for ADVANCED People, not Newbs like me.

@Christian Youth : Have you ever seen gymnastics ?, These peeps only depend on bodyweight.

Is there any other exercise I could use other than swimming?
