Homemade Equipment: How to make your own weight vest.
Bodyweight training is the truth. If you aren’t getting a healthy dose within your training regimen you’re losing out. Think bodyweight exercises can’t get you strong and jacked? Think again!
What happens when you reach a point where you can crank tons of pushups and pullups without a problem. Well, just like any other movement you either do more or add resistance.
The best way to add resistance to these two movements in particular is adding a weight vest or chains. However, these products can be expensive. I got a little creative the other day in the Real World Strength Gym. Take a look at the clip below where I take you through a cheap and simple process where you can make your own weight vest. I also show you a simple way to beef up your pushups by the use of resistance bands. Bands are relatively inexpensive and if used the right way, can really help you add tons of strength and muscle.
Don’t be a afraid of the deload!
I’m pretty busted up this morning.
Yesterday was then end to three hard weeks of training.
Next week will definitely be a deload week.
As I’ve talked about before, rest and recovery are just as important as your training. I’m actually feeling pretty good mentally and physically and don’t feel like I really need a deload week.
However, I have the long term, big picture in mind. I know that taking next week to deload will serve me much better, helping to reach my current training goals.
Many think that going full bore all the time with their training is the only way to reach goals and that anything less doesn’t do you any good. This couldn’t be further from the truth. If you go all out, all the time, you’ll burn yourself out and possibly regress.
My deload training won’t be “easy” but it will allow my joints to rest and be prepared for the next hard cycle.
Don’t be afraid of the deload!
