CLICK HERE for a FREE Workout www.turbulencetraining.com This 3-exercise bodyweight circuit will serve as a warm-up to the main workout. So, starting out you will do the Touchdown Forward Lunge. For this, you will raise your arms straight up overhead as though signalling a touchdown. Next, lunge forward, getting a good stretch as you come down and then use your lead foot to drive back up. Alternate sides. By placing your hands overhead it will help open up your chest while also bringing your shoulder blades together. Next up in this bodyweight warm-up is the Close-Grip Pushup exercise. With hands shoulder-width apart and tuckingyour elbows into your sides perform a pushup. If you can’t do regular close-grip pushups, then you can just do them from the kneeling position. The last exercise to do is the Waiter’s Bow. You’ll find that this exercise really stretches your hamstrings and gets you ready for the Romanian Deadlift exercise. If you’re not comfortable with the RDL exercise, then this at least gives you a chance to practice the movement. So, for this exercise, bend your knees slightly, grab the skin fold of your low back and place your other arm across your chest. From here, you will bend forward as though you are bowing to the table. So, push your hips back and keep your back flat. You will find that the skin fold tries to get away from you and that will be as far as you go before squeezing your glutes to return to the start position. That’s it for all the exercises …
Evolution of Pullups
24
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com Today I’m going to show you the evolution of pull-ups, going from a beginner style to the hardest kind you can do. If you are new to pull-ups and cant do any actual pull-ups, you want to start with an inverted row. You will be underneath a bar and rowing your chest up to the bar. It’s a great way to start. You can do a beginner version of inverted rows by bending your knees. Hold onto the bar with an overhand grip. Keep your hips up and pull your chest up to the bar. Squeeze your shoulder blades at the top. This will help strengthen the muscles between your shoulder blades, the back of your shoulders and your lats. Once you are a little stronger, you can straighten your legs out, switch to an underhand grip. This will work your biceps more. For underhand inverted rows, you will have more of a narrow grip and pull your chest to the bar. Next well switch back to an overhand grip and back to a wider grip. This is back to working the muscles at the back of the shoulder blades and between the shoulder blades. You can put your feet up on a stability ball to give you more of a challenge. Those are all inverted row variations to get you started. Next are assisted pull-ups and chin-ups. You need to take the bar of your squat rack and set it up about head height. You will be doing the pull-up and chin-up movement, but you will still be standing on the floor. This is for beginners as well. Simply work as much as possible …

Once you are finished doing that exercise, keep the stability ball with you as you are now going to do 1-Legged Jackknives.
