Just bought The Naked Warrior by Pavel Tsatsouline (Kettlebell pioneer and general hard b*stard)….have to say, great buy. If you want to get a handle on the basics and build a solid foundation for real hard, minimalist bodyweight exercises that you can do anywhere, this book is for you. Great to have in your arsenal if you can;t always get to the gym or get your hands on some weights.

Enjoy and keep pushing yourself!

I just discovered a new exercise (or combo of exercises) on the gymjones website: The Manmaker.
Here’s how to do it:
1) Grab 2 dumbells and push them straight over your head in the shoulder press position.
2) Drop to the floor and adopt the start position for a Push Up
3) Complete 1 PU.
4) In the up position of the PU, do 1 row with the left arm and 1 with the right.
5) Move up into the down position of a squat
6) Stand up and press the Dumbells back over your head into the shoulder press as per step 1.
7) Repeat for reps>
I feel tired after just writing this one! Pictures can be found here: http://www.gymjones.com/schedule.php?date=20051123

Try this on for size:
For time -
- 5 KB snatches left side.
- 5 KB snatches right side.
- 10 Burpees
45 seconds of rest.
Repeat x 5.
To increase intensity, reduce the rest time or add more snatches. This is a great one when you are short on time.

A few years ago I got a lend of the Warrior Guide to Underground Fitness by a guy called Ross Enamait (recommend you have a look). Well, he popped back into memory there and it prompted me to google him and I found his website, http://www.rosstraining.com. His site has completely changed since I last visited years ago. It’s a brilliant resource, the forum has literally tens of thousands of posts on all kinds of underground fitness. I recommend you go over and check it out. He also has a load of handy guides for making your own fitness gear for home. Can’t beat it!

I was looking for something to mix up my training a bit and found the TRX Suspension trainer. It looks a bit expensive for what you actually get so I found a DIY solution for under $20. You can check it out here on Ross Enamaits site: http://rosstraining.com/blog/2010/01/13/homemade-suspension-trainer/
I’m going to make one this weekend so I’ll post back here how it works out.
