Lately I've been focusing on the following:
* Pushups (Done at the end of my chest day)
* Chinups (Done on their own day)
* Dips (Done on the same day as Chins)
I've seen a signifigant strength and size gain in the past couple weeks.
Thursdays I do:
Week 1:
Deadlifts: 8 sets of 8
Chinups : 10 sets of 7-10
Dips: 10 sets of 10
Week 2:
Squats: 8 sets of 8
Chinups : 10 sets of 7-10
Dips: 10 sets of 10
I've just been seeing a major improvement in all fronts of my training since implementing this bodyweight-specific day into my routine.
I've also seen a big improvement with my triceps, lats and shoulders from implementing multiple sets of pushups at the end of my chest day. By the time I get through my chest and tri workout, I can only do about 30 pushups at the most because I'm so fatigued.
It seems like I hit my shoulders and back indirectly with the pushups, as my arms and chest are burned out. Then I hit my back and shoulders an additional time later on that week, with my normal weight routine. It's good because the pushups stimulate those secondary muscle groups slightly, enough to cause extra growth; but not enough to sideline me on back day.
How do all of you guys and girls implement bodyweight exercsies? Do you throw in sets at the end of your weight routine, inbetween, or seperate days?
