Hi, thanks for checking the program. Here you will find a program that will allow you to take your physique to the next level while just
needing a pair of gymnastic rings and a pullup bar, that way you can perform these workouts either at a park or at home, so you have no
excuse to miss a workout. And you won´t feel like skipping either!!! That´s the benefit of this program and calisthenics in general: It is fun,
athletic and effective in achieving a muscular physique.
Remember to always consult with a professional and do not try anything without their approval. If everything is in order, then scroll down
and begin your journey with this special way of training!
General Notes
1) AMRAP: As Many Reps As Possible
2) In every exercise you have to apply progressive overload, that means that your performance goes up with time. It can be through
multiple things (One or more at a time). For example:
a) increase in reps
b) Increase in Load (Adding Weight)
c) Doing a Harder variation (Modifying leverages)
d) Better rep quality
e) Lower rep tempo
f) Adding Pauses
g) Doing movements in an unilateral fashion (putting more weight on each individual side)
h) Adding Plyometrics (Like going from pushups to clapping pushups)
It means you have to do it in a Prisoner style/Down Workouts. For example, you have:
[25-30 down Squats]
-You pick a number of the rep range you can do that will take you close to failure (RPE 6-7). In this case let`s go with 27 reps.
-You will do the 27 reps, then rest 30-60 seconds and then do another set, but this time you will do 26 reps, then rest again, and the next
one you will do 25 reps and so on until you reach 1 rep.
Exercise X/ExerciseY
It means you can choose one of the two movements. Try to only switcb movements once every 3-5 weeks.
If youfor example have:
It means you choose one of those variations i.e. Regular PPPs or Ring PPPs. You can also find the following
It means that you can choose between doing it with the rings or with the pullup bar AND that you can do it with a
Supinated/Neutral/Pronated grip.
Exercise X → Exercise Y
It means you have to do AMRAP in Exercise X, then without rest do the same thing with Exercise Y.
6) The “Stimulus Days” are optional, meaning you should only perform them if you are recovered enough. They should feel easy
7) It is recommended you add 1-3 sets of warm-ups before the first set/supersets
8) Rest in-between sets should be until you feel you are able to perform similar numbers compared to the previous set. As a general
recommendation:
9) Rest days can be located wherever you think is necessary as long as it follows the workout split parameters. You can rest or do
a stimulus day.
11) Be patient and make sure to have good sleep and nutrition to maximize muscle gain.
