Recently we have overviewed many bodyweight exercises that you will need to succeed in your athletic training program. What I have shown here is only the basic activity sets, there is so much more to be learned. Today we will learn about two of my favorite bodyweight exercises. These activities involve controlling your weight while balanced on a fixation of much smaller mass. I like to identify these exercises as suspense training, as they are done while being suspended in the air. These exercise train your arms to strictly control your bodyweight, no other part of the body is in contact or in a position to aid in the exercise.

Pull Ups

To do this exercise properly, I would suggest that you purchase a power tower, or go somewhere that is in possession of one. If that is not possible, try to use a sturdy door such as your front door or basement door as your fixation. Begin pull-ups by holding the top of the fixation or machine with an overhand grip. Pull the rest of your body up, until your nose is above the level of your hands. If you can’t do one, have a partner stand behind you, holding your hips and you go up. I do not recommend weight assisted pull-up machines, as they do not allow you to go through the full motion of a suspense exercise.

Dips

This exercise is one of the finest for a valuable triceps training workout. This paramount exercise requires you to pushup your body while suspended on merely your arms. Dips should be done on a power tower, or between to sturdy chairs. Start of with one hand on each fixation. Suspend yourself in the air, and then lower yourself to the ground without touching it. Push yourself back up.

Ring Pushups

Ring pushups, also called chain pushups, are another suspense exercise, although they do not truly isolate the arm muscles. This drill requires a partner to hold your feet in the air while your hands are positioned in gymnastic blast strap, which is suspended from a higher fixation. Do as many pushups from this position as you possibly can. The chain pushup is not very common, but is used my many power athletes to blast their chest and triceps strength.
