Tried it Scrap....
Did them ordinarily first and found them tough enough, so I'm going to try pump them out quick next, maybe even in tabata format.

Yeah the bodyweights seem to add functional strength to the strength I've built with the weight training.

Dynamic stretching is the business too.

Scrap taught me a stretch for the shoulders with two dumbells- little ones - it is amazing, but hard to describe without a visual.

im not sure if anybody has mentioned these yet, but no footed planches are an amazing workout. i learned them through gymnastics. and a couple backtucks, or "backflips" will rape your abs. trust me if you can do 10 good slow no footers and 10 backtucks your upperbody will feel like its being ripped in two.

by the way, no footed planches are not for the weak lol.
you go into a normal pushup position, then move your hands back to around your hips, then slowly extend as if doing a normal pushup when you go up lean forward and lift your legs off the ground keeping them perfectly straight.

its nice

along with

-around the world pull ups.

hang on a pull up bar, then do a circular motion around the bar your neck should be even with the bar at the highest point, do 5 each way, clockwise then counter. or vise versa w/e w/e
------------------------------------------------------
-hood Jesus pull-ups. (NOT FOR THE UN-FLEXIBLE) can cause shoulder problems

do an extremely wide pull up but when you go up make sure the bar goes behind your head, and it should touch your shoulders at the peak
------------------------------------------------------
-hanging push-ups (NOT FOR THE UN-FLEXIBLE) can cause shoulder problems

these are not easy, do a regular pull up, but stop halfway up. your elbow should be at a 90 degree angle. the top of your head should be about even with the bar. now keeping your body fully rigid, move in towards the bar as if doing a "hanging" push up. its a burner and if it hurts at all STOP.

those are my top 3 fav. pull ups

Great thread guys.
