The push-up is one of the best
all-around upper body exercises. It's simple, it can be done anywhere... and it
blasts your pecs, shoulders and triceps at the same time.
But it does have one tiny flaw:
It's too easy!
This doesn't sound like a flaw but it is
because of human nature. You see, if something is easy we as humans quickly
lose interest.
And if you can knock out dozens of
push-ups (or press up with ease, you'll soon find yourself not doing anything
just because you already know you can do plenty.
That's when it's time for the one-arm
press-up.Now, if you can do 25 or more press-ups in a row, there's a good
chance that you can already knock out a one-armed press-up.
It will be ugly... but you'll complete
the rep.
But if you can't complete a single
one-armed push-up... what should you do?
Some experts will tell you to continue
to work on your normal push-ups.This advice is a little mis-guided as I've
found the strength increase from normal push-ups does not readily transfer to
the one-arm push-up.
So if you want to complete your first
one-arm push-up... you need to adopt a specific training program for one armed
push-ups.
In short... you need a plan of
progression.
The fastest way to increase your
strength in any given exercise is to practice the exercise often using sets of
3-5 reps and to never approach muscular failure.
So when practicing the following
exercises, I want you to do these exercises 3-5 times a day, for 3-5 reps each
time... and never approach failure.Don't think about this as "working
out". Think about these exercises as practicing your form.
Ok, so if we want to complete our
first one-arm push-up we want to get the body ready and used to the same
motion.
Let's start with the...
One-Arm On The Wall
Stand an arms-length away from a wall.
Spread your legs wide for balance. Place one hand on the wall and fold your
other arm behind your back. Slowly bend your arm and try to touch your nose to
the wall. Then explode off the wall.
Do 3-5 reps and then switch arms.If
this exercise is to easy, go right to the...
One-Arm "Girl" Push-up
In this exercise, you are going to do
a one-armed press-up on the floor but you are going to be on your knees instead
of on your feet. This reduces the amount of weight you have to lift and makes
the exercise a little easier.
Do 3-5 reps with each arm. Avoid
muscular failure and practice this 3-5 times per day.
When this gets easy you are ready for
the...
One-Arm Negative
For this exercise, you are going to
focus on the lowering portion of a one-arm push-up on your toes.You want to
lower yourself as slowly as possible.First, try to take a full 3 seconds to
lower your body. Then up it to 5 seconds.
When you hit the floor, don't try to
push yourself back up. Get on your knees, get yourself back into the starting
position and practice lowering yourself again.
By following this proven plan of
progression you will be on your way to completing your first true-one arm
push-up.
It will be ugly, your spine will twist
your shoulders will dip and your head will feel like it's going to explode...
but you'll have completed your first one-arm press-up.

Gymnastics rings are an
incredibly versatile training tool for rock climbing. While they won't train
your finger strength, they do work a lot of important muscles, like your arms,
shoulders, back, and core. They also build a high strength to weight ratio,
which is important to gymnasts and climbers alike.
I bought my own pair of
rings four years ago and haven't gone back to conventional weight training
since. Not only do they provide a tremendous workout, but they are also simply
more fun to use than free weights. In fact, I found that rings target more
muscle groups at once and build strength more efficiently than traditional
weight lifting.
You can use rings for
pull-ups, muscle ups, pushups, leg raises, levers, and more. In addition, the
inherently unstable nature of rings requires all of your muscles to work
together, so your whole upper body is engaged instead of only isolating one
muscle at a time.
John Gill, the
"Father of modern bouldering," was a trained gymnastic and trained on
rings throughout his life. He was famous for his one armed pull ups and front
levers. These powerful moves allowed him to excel at bouldering like no one had
before him.
While there are many
other important aspects of climbing to focus on as well, incorporating some
ring training can efficiently boost your overall strength and might well find a
way into your regular climbing training.
Getting started with
rings
Gymnastics rings are
simple to set up and get started with. Although the movements performed on them
can be extremely difficult, the rings themselves are a simple device. The
popularity of rings as a workout tool outside of gymnastics has been growing.
You don't need the
professional set up that gymnasts use; most basic rings consist of a nylon
strap that runs through the ring with a buckle on the end. They can be
purchased easily online, and for the amount of versatility and training they
provide are fairly cheap too. Set up is simple, you simply throw the strap over
a beam, branch, or other horizontal pole, and fasten the buckle. The rings can
then be lowered for pushups or raised for pull-ups and dips.
Exercises on gymnastics
rings
While there are many
advanced moves that can be performed on the rings, I will stick to describing
moves that can more directly help with rock climbing training. On the most basic
level rings can be used simply for pull ups. If you don't have a pull up bar
available then rings are great!
Muscle Ups
One of the first
advanced tricks to learn is the muscle up. Muscle ups work the chest, arms,
back, and core... pretty much everything! They start from a dead hang on the
rings and proceed like a pull-up. However, when you reach the top of the pull
you continue pushing yourself up into the dip position. Done correctly this
looks smooth and easy, but don't be fooled! Your first time attempting it will
most likely end with wobbling and flailing.
If you do succeed you
will most likely find your arms shaking uncontrollably as you try to hold
yourself up. I've taught many people muscle ups, and every one of them
struggled and wobbled their first few times! It really makes you appreciate how
many different muscles gymnastics rings target.
Technique is very
important when attempting a muscle up. It is important to use a false grip,
where your wrist is over the top of the ring, in order to easily switch from
pulling up to pushing into a dip. Practice your dips and pull-ups separately
until you can transition from one into the other in a successful muscle up.
Hanging Leg Raises
Leg raises are my go-to
core workout. They can be done on many things, from pull up bars to railings,
but my favorite is leg raises from the dip position of the rings. Not only does
it give your abs a great workout, but it also challenges your back, chest, and
arms to stabilize you in the process.
As a warning, these are
difficult to do. They first require you to be able to do a muscle up and dips.
Once you've accomplished that though, give leg raises a try. Remember to keep
your back straight and your elbows locked as you bring your legs up as high as
you can. Mentally focus on contracting your abs as much as possible to get the most
out of it.
Hanging knee raises are
also valuable. Performing them on rings adds so much difficulty that most often
I do these instead of the whole leg. After a few sets my abs are burning and my
arms and chest are beat. That's a good workout!
Front Levers
The front lever is a
difficult skill to master. It involves holding your body horizontally from a
bar or rings. This requires incredible strength in your arms, back, and core,
making it an ideal climbing exercise. John Gill famously performed this skill
one handed... now that requires serious strength!
The strength that front
levers build is great for climbing training. To perform one, hang from the
rings with straight arms. Then lift your body up until you are horizontal to
the ground. The tough part is keeping your body straight!
It will be impossible
to do a full front lever the first time you try it. Instead, you will have to
progress towards the full lever in stages. Start with the normal lever position
but pull your knees in and keep them tucked towards your chest. After you can
hold that position for thirty seconds, work on slowly progressing to holding
your legs out flat. Keep a flat back and lock your elbows.
When you get close to
the full lever you can try an exercise called ice cream makers. Hang in the
pull up position and pull yourself up into the front lever position, hold it
briefly and then lower yourself back down. Sets of these will help to improve
your lever.
More Possibilities
These are the main
exercises that I use gymnastics rings for. There are many more cool strength
moves on the rings, such as the iron cross and planche, but the strength that
these require doesn't help with climbing well enough to justify training them.
If you have the desire though, there are hundreds of movement variations on the
rings you can find.
If you're looking for a
chest workout, one of my favorites is archer push ups. To do these, lower your
rings to the ground and get in the push up position. Extend one arm straight
off to the side while lowering yourself with the other arm. Push back up and
alternate arms. This is basically an assisted one arm push up and demands much
more strength than normal push ups. Rings also allow the extra challenge of
lowering yourself below your hands, which works a larger range of motion. For
added difficulty try elevating your feet behind you; this adds weight to your
push up.
The iron cross is one
of the most famous ring movements. It involves holding yourself in the air with
your arms extended straight out horizontally. This is a much more difficult
move and takes a lot of time to develop. Care must be taken when training for it
because the move places high stress on your shoulders and elbows. It is easy to
injure yourself if your technique is wrong, so be careful if you attempt it.
Overall, small workouts
on gymnastics rings can be used very successfully in a climbing training
regiment. The bulk of your training should still be on climbing and finger
strength, but rings provide a great opportunity to build body strength. They
are a very efficient exercise because of the stabilization required, and just a
few sets a weeks will show results. Try them out, and see how much easier
overhangs, lock offs, and stabilization become!

Why don't I need
weights to get bigger or get strong?
The reason is simply
this: You need resistance, not weights. Adding weights is a great way to
increase resistance and therefore the difficulty of an exercise so there's
nothing wrong with just using weights, but it's not the only way. Maybe you've
been doing hundreds of push-ups and hundreds of crunches but don't feel like
you're achieving the strength or the body you want. When you lift weights you
typically do 1-5 reps for pure strength development and 6-12 if you want to
increase mass as well. So why would it be any different when you're not using
weights? If you want to focus on endurance rather than strength or hypertrophy
then it's fine, but if not you need to drop the reps. There are countless people
who's goal is to either get stronger, get bigger or both, but they still do
hundreds of reps with bodyweight exercises. You don't see them do hundreds of
reps when bench pressing but they like to do hundreds of push-ups and crunches.
So what do you do if you
can do hundreds of push-ups? Do you stop when you get to five? That wouldn't be
much use either. So you increase the resistance just like you would with
weights.
You might have to be a
bit more creative but it can be done, and here's how.
How to add resistance
to body weight exercises
There are a number of
ways to do this, and here are some of them.
Partial range of
movement-Let's say you want to do a one leg squat but you can't do it all the
way to the floor. One option is to do it as far as you can, and then increase
the depth as you get stronger. Some people are against this but it worked for
Paul Anderson-the legendary weightlifter, power lifter and strongman. I would
use a box if you're doing squats as it can support the knees. As you get
stronger use a lower box or maybe a step on a staircase.
Weight distribution
between limbs-Let's say you're finding the gap between a two arm push-up and a
one arm push-up too big. What now? You can use both arms but do the following.
One of your palms is flat on the ground, but on the other hand, you're only
using you're thumb and first finger on the floor. This way there is assistance
with one arm but there is more weight on the other arm and it has to do more
work. Eventually you can remove the finger and only use the thumb. Then remove
the thumb until you're only using one arm.
Straightening/ bending
the joints-See my dragon flag tutorial on my site for an example of this. When
I have my knees bent, the exercise is much easier, but if I keep my body
completely straight, it's much more difficult.
Elevating the
feet/hands-Take a normal push-up. If you elevate your feet by putting them on a
box you make the push-up harder, and if you elevate your hands but keep your
feet on the ground you make it easier.
So as you can see,
there are many different ways to add resistance to any exercise, just like
adding plates to a barbell. There is no limit to the number of increments you
can have either. For example, you can elevate your feet by 30cm, 32cm, 31.4cm etc
(obviously it would be stupid to be so exact but you get the point I'm trying
to make), so even though gaps do exist between different variations of an
exercise, you can bridge the gap as slowly or quickly as you need to. Don't
worry about being exact. Just get a feel for the difficulty level.
Now you've got an idea
of how to add resistance to body weight exercises, here is the workout plan. It
has three exercises, of which you will use different variations as you
progress, but you can add other exercises or switch one for another. More on
that later. These are compound or multi-joint movements that teach your body
how to work as a unit. There's an upper body pressing movement, an upper body
pulling movement, and a leg movement, so it's balanced, and it doesn't take up
much time. Here are the exercises.
Push-up variation-This
will train the chest, triceps, shoulders and core. It's your pressing movement
Pull-up
variation-Trains mainly the lats but also other assisting muscles in the
shoulders, back and arms. It's your pulling movement
Squat variation-So you
don't neglect your legs-Trains mainly the thighs and buttocks.
Okay so here are the
different variations you can use. Going down the list, the exercises get more
difficult. I've also written what I think would be a good method of adding
resistance to that specific variation. See how far down the list you can go.
These lists don't contain all of the different variations, there are a lot
more, but you don't need all of them. Let's start with push-ups.
Push-up variations
Wall push-ups-Some
people are too weak to do even knee push-ups so they can start off on a wall.
It's the same thing, but instead of pushing yourself away from the floor you
push yourself away from a wall. The wall is obviously 90 degrees from the floor
and if you reduce this angle it makes it more difficult. Maybe you could find a
slope at roughly 45 degrees for example.
Knee push-ups-Most
people are strong enough to do knee push-ups so this can be a good starting
point for someone who can't do full push-ups yet.
Full push-ups-There are
different versions of this. The main ones are arms out-where your elbows go
outwards during the movement and elbows in, where they stay close to the body
and point backwards and work the triceps more. To make this exercise more
difficult you can elevate your feet and put them on a box. On the other hand,
the gap between knee push-ups and regular push-ups might be too large for some.
In that case you can make the exercise easier by putting your hands on a box
while leaving your feet on the floor instead.
One arm push-ups-Again
there are different variations of this exercise but the same rules apply.
Elevate your arms to make it easier and elevate your feet to make it harder.
You can also do negatives (just the lowering part) if you want, until you're
strong enough to also lift yourself up.
Psuedo planche/hip
push-ups-Well actually these could maybe go before one arm push-ups on the list
but I've put them here because they might be something you use to work up to
planche push-ups which are extremely advanced. Hip push-ups are like push-ups
but your hands are placed by your hips instead of your chest. They can be tough
on the wrists for some people so you can do them on fists or use paralletes.
Elevating the feet for this exercise does not make it more difficult. Try it
and you'll see.
Another thing you can
do to work up to the planche push-up is to practice static holds with the
planche progressions, as well as practice push-ups in the tuck planche
positions.
Pull-up variations
Negatives-A lot of
people can't do pull-ups so what you can do is to just do the lowering part of
the exercise at first. Get on a chair to get yourself high enough so that your
chin is over the bar. Then push the chair away from you and lower yourself from
the bar in a slow and controlled manner until you're hanging from the bar with
your arms locked out. You might have to bend your knees if the bar isn't high
enough. Also, you might want to have a spotter the first time you try this, or
until you're confident of being able to do negatives with no problems.
Pull-ups-Once you can
do negatives easily-say 2 sets of 5 reps you can try a full pull-up. You can
have a partner help you as you pull yourself up if you need to in the
beginning. You probably won't need one though if you've been training negatives
and are good enough at them. A tip-when you reach the bottom, lock out your
arms completely and dead hang. It's harder to do this than to cheat a little
and start pulling yourself up before you've reached the bottom but it will help
you in the long run.
Assisted one arm
pull-ups-These are a lot harder than normal pull-ups and a great way to
increase the difficulty of the exercise and train for one-armers. The way to do
these is to hold the horizontal bar (pull-up bar) with one hand and have the
other hand holding a vertical object. This can be the vertical support bars at the
sides holding the pull-up bar in place or you can throw a rope over the pull-up
bar and hold onto that. So now the side that's holding onto the pull-up bar has
to do a lot more work. The way to increase the difficulty with this variation
is to hold the rope lower down. You will start out high, holding the
rope/vertical bar only slightly lower than where you hold the pull-up bar and
as you become stronger you will move lower down until eventually you'll reach
around hip level. After this, you can begin to loosen the grip you have with
that hand (you're still gripping the pull-up bar tightly though).
One-arm-pull-up
negatives-So the next stage is to move onto slow, controlled negatives with
only one arm. Pull yourself up with both arms and then lower yourself with only
one arm. When you first start it might be a good idea to loosely hold onto your
bicep or shoulder with the free arm just in case you over-estimate your
strength and injure yourself while crashing down. Once you know for sure you
can control the descent you can let go completely.
One-arm-pull-ups-Reach
this stage and you've attained a very, very difficult skill to attain.
Congratulations!
Squat variations
Body weight squats-Most
people should be able to do body weight squats easily. Read my article on
squats for some advice on technique. It's on my site. Again, if you're not
strong enough you can do partial range like Paul Anderson did and increase the
depth as you get stronger.
One leg squats-From my
experience the best way to learn this is to just do partial range and increase
the depth slowly. Use a box or something though, or it could put a lot of
stress on the knees. Maybe you could lift yourself with only one leg every time
you get up from a chair. Gradually increase the depth by using a lower
box/chair/step/whatever you want, until you can go all the way to the floor. In
the beginning when you reach the floor you can roll back so your back touches
the floor and then push yourself forward and spring up using the momentum to
lift yourself up. This could mess up your form though if you're not careful
(which could mess up your knees) so be careful with this one. Eventually you
won't need any momentum. Once you can do the exercise easily, you can grab some
weights, which kind of defeats the object of this guide but whatever. I guess
you could grab some big water bottles or something if you don't have weights.
Maybe adding more water to the bottles could be a way of adding weight....
Anyway you could also add a jumping movement to the squat as you lift yourself
up and explode through the movement rather than lifting yourself slowly.
The training programme
variables
So here is what the
training programme variables look like.
Days of rest for each
exercise-You can train each exercise 5 days a week or even as infrequently as
every 5 days. You've got two options. The option you choose will affect the
number of sets you do, which I'll get onto later. Option B is recommended for those
also wanting to gain some mass along with strength. If you're only bothered
about strength and like to train each exercise very frequently you could pick
option A.
Option A-train each
exercise 3-5 days a week
Option B-Train each
exercise 1-2 days a week with at least 3 days rest in between each training
day. You could do all three exercises on one day but you don't have to. You can
split it if you want to.
Reps-3-5-I want you to
keep it down to 3-5 reps while using heavy resistance. This is the ideal range
for building strength. If you're after some mass as well, you can still get
bigger while using low reps and heavy weight. You could increase the reps if
you want to but I'd rather you not compromise strength, so an alternative is to
make sure you ALWAYS do 5 reps instead of doing 3-5. You might have to use a
slightly easier exercise variation in this case.
Sets-if you picked
option A, you do no more than 2 sets in a session. If you picked option B, you
can do 3-5 sets.
Minutes rest in between
sets-3-5 minutes. If you want to increase mass as well as strength, then some
fatigue may help you achieve that. You could decrease rest periods to 1-2
minutes, but again I'd rather you didn't compromise strength, so what you could
do instead is to make sure you ALWAYS take 3 minutes rest in between sets and
not any more. On the other hand, those who are only interested in strength
could take 3-5 minutes rest between sets.
Not training till
failure-Don't train till failure. You don't want to burn out your central
nervous system and compromise strength gains. If you picked option B as your
training plan, you can go very close to failure. If you picked option A, I want
you to stay slightly further away from failure because you're going to be
training more frequently and need to stay fresh. Make sure you could have done
at least one more rep. So if you completed 3 reps and felt like you could do
another 1 or 2, don't do them. Whereas with option B you could carry on and do
those 1 or 2 reps (but only if you were 100% sure you could do the reps. Don't
carry on until you attempt a rep and fail to do it).
Exercise
variation-Choose a variation that you can do at least 4 reps with but no more
than about 8. For example, if you can do 10 normal push-ups, try elevating your
feet and then see how many you can do. If you can only do 3, try elevating your
feet a little less this time and see how many you can do. Let's say you can do
7. That's a good variation to use for the duration of the training cycle.
The training cycle
Okay this part might
seem a little complicated but it's important. If you don't follow a cycle
you'll probably hit a plateau and stop improving so learn it well.
There are many
different cycles you could use but to keep things simple let's go with a steady
cycle that lasts 8-16 workouts. With this cycle you use the same exercise
variation until you're ready to peak in 8-16 workouts. For example, lets say
you find out that you can do 6 reps with a one-arm-push-up. You start a
training cycle with the one-arm-push-up and after 5 workouts the exercise feels
a lot easier and you feel like you could do 8 or more reps. You still carry on
doing only 3-5reps and keep doing the same exercise.
After 8 workouts the
exercise feels so easy that you feel you are ready to move onto a harder
variation. What you can do is reduce the volume for a week (so lets say you
train 3 days a week and do 2 sets in each workout. During that week reduce your
workout frequency to only 1 or 2 days a week and do only 1 set per workout. However,
you're either going to do more reps (if you usually did 3 or 4 then do 5) or if
you already did 5 then switch to a harder variation of the one-arm-push-up
(maybe elevate your feet) and do 3 reps.
After this reduced
volume week, you're going to go back to your normal frequency of training (in
this example, 3 days a week) but you're still doing a reduced number of sets (1
set in this example). Now you're ready for the final part of your cycle. You
were doing 3 reps of one-arm-push-ups with your feet elevated. Attempt to do 5
reps with this same variation. If you succeed, wait until your next workout and
choose an even more difficult variation (maybe elevate your feet even higher)
and see if you can do 5 reps. If you succeed move onto an even harder variation
in the following workout until you reach a variation where you fail before
reaching three reps. Then after that you could go back to the last variation
that you succeeded doing 5 reps with, and attempt to go beyond 5 reps. Take a
few days off at the end of the cycle. At the start of a new cycle you begin
with a slightly harder variation than in your last cycle. In our example we
started the last cycle with one-arm-push-ups. For the next cycle we could maybe
start with one-arm-push-ups with legs elevated slightly. You get the
idea......I hope.
Adding exercises and
final advice
This is just a guide.
Don't worry about following it exactly to the letter. You can make adjustments,
add your own exercises to it, experiment with different training
programs/cycles etc. Just make sure you know what you're doing or you'll be
wasting a lot of precious time. I think pull-ups and squats are a must. You
could replace the horizontal push-up with handstand push-ups but I've kept it
simple here.
You can't really go
wrong if you just stick to this guide and train consistently, while resting
when you need to, getting good nutrition, enough sleep etc.
Don't expect to
progress from pull-ups to one-arm-pull-ups and from wall push-ups to
planche-push-ups without any hiccups along the way. Your progress will slow
down, you might get injured, and sometimes you might start doubting whether
you'll ever get to the most advanced variations. It'll take you many months,
even a few years to get to the most advanced variations of push-ups and
pull-ups. Don't give up. This is what separates those few who make it from
everybody else. If it was easy, everyone would be strong as hell and then your
achievements wouldn't be so impressive, so just have fun, aim high and train
consistently without giving up. Get in touch and tell me about your progress
while following this plan, send me videos when you're able to do some of the
cool feats such as one-arm-pull-ups, send me before and after pictures if it's
changed the way you look.
Calisthenics are exercises consisting of
a variety of gross motor movements including - running, pulling, pushing, squats—often performed rhythmically and generally without equipment or apparatus.
They are, in essence, body-weight training.
Calisthenics Benefits
for Speed Training Explained
Calisthenics are
perfect for getting in proper shape for running and for gaining the break-neck
speed you need to win trophies and make headlines. But some runners and speed
training athletes feel that calisthenics aren't necessary for getting faster.
And some are under the misconception that calisthenics training actually makes
you slower. That couldn't be further from the truth. The following calisthenics
benefits for speed training should clear the matter up nicely.
Introduces Variety Into
Your Training
One of the best
benefits of engaging in calisthenics is the fact that you are getting tons of
variety in your speed training workout. When you incorporate knee raises,
push ups, crunches and planks with very few rests in between sets, you are
conditioning your body to be as fast as possible. Remember to keep pushing
yourself and to keep trying out different exercises so that you can condition
your body even more.
Improves Coordination
When you speak of
calisthenics benefits for speed training, you can't leave out coordination.
Coordination plays a huge role when it comes to how fast you are, and if your
coordination is off just a little bit you won't be able to increase your
turnover rate and other runners will eventually blow right past you. But if you
engage in various calisthenics a few times per week, you'll become much more
coordinated and your speed will increase as a result.
You'll Get Stronger
One of the most obvious
calisthenics benefits for speed training include the fact that you will be
getting stronger with each session. Of course you'll need to make sure you're
getting plenty of fuel in the form of healthy foods and beverages and that
you're getting plenty of rest, but if you do calisthenics in the form of
pushups and leg raises and all the other exercises you tend to do when you're
training, you will get stronger and that will increase your power and,
ultimately, your speed.
What Does It All Mean?
Hopefully by how you
are convinced that you need calisthenics in your training regimen if you want
to develop the kind of speed that makes others, including college scouts, take
notice. You don't want to be the slowest person on the field and you certainly
don't want to be second place. You want to win, and that's why you train every
chance you get, using all the tools you've been taught in order to carry you
towards your winning goals. But if you don't include calisthenics with the rest
of your tools, you will eventually reach your glass ceiling and that's where
you'll stay. So instead, realize the calisthenics benefits for speed training
and train the way the experts do. Calisthenics are not 'old-school' or
