Inverted exercises

When shooting the last movie for the site (Jungle Gym 2) we were trying to think of funky new ways to use a pull-up bar. As you can see from the movie some ideas got pretty funky. Having said that upon reflection (and upon the sore muscles that followed) we felt that we had indeed found a different way to do weights, one where gravity fights differently against you. That was through the use of inversion (gravity) boots to hang upside down whilst performing weighted exercises.

This edition’s Beast will look at a program that you can do (with the proper equipment) to create a great workout not just for isolated muscles but also for the core mainly due to the need to constantly use it as a stabilizer. We are also going to include a theme Andrew mentioned on the forum about counter balancing your routine so that you pull and push, not just pull or push throughout a workout. All exercises are done to AMRAP and when weighted we are looking more at an endurance level of training rather than a strength thus more reps at 50% weight since the technique can be lost due to hanging providing instability. Also make sure you do this workout with a partner not just to spot you but to help you get on/off the bar as you tire. We do not want injuries here!

Here we go:

1)

1 set pull-ups at bodyweight
1 set military presses at bodyweight

2)
