bodyweight exercises

Coach Dertz

I use pushups/dips as part of the warm up sometimes. Pull/chin ups are a staple of the program. I put pull ups into the vertical pull section of the exercise pool. Fat man pull ups go in the horizontal pull section.

I honestly would take a break on t/r from any lifting with the exception of gpp work, maybe a strongman day, or trunk work.

Now with very young guys (13,14) bodyweight exercises can be great for developing coordination and better overall GPP. I am working with a 12 year old right now and he only works on the trunk/glutes/hams, and everything else is bodyweight stuff to increase GPP.
