What are the goals of the program? The Bodyweight Strong program will build your strength, movement skills, and physique through a blend of bodyweight and resistance band training.
Goals:
•Build functional total body strength
•Improve your calisthenics movement skills like handstands and pistol squats
•Sculpt an athletic physique by adding lean muscle and boosting your metabolism.
How to schedule the program into a week? The Bodyweight Strong program features a 4-day weekly split - twice a week upper body, twice a week lower body.
Train upper body and lower body on consecutive days then take a rest day for mobility and low intensity cardio.
How to get the best outcome of the program? For maximum results...
•Take your time and don’t rush through the exercises. Focus on time under tension
•Focus on creating a strong mind-muscle connection.
•Modify movements so that you can focus on perfecting the form.
•Modify the sets & reps, if necessary, to save time.
