But since we're concentraiting on legs now some to add
Drum Majors-A basic sprint,but get those knees up as high as you can(like a drum major)
Grapevines,or Crossovers(different name same thing)A side ways sprint where you shift one foot over the other the entire time,teaches balance and abilitly to change direction on a dime
The Ball-Crunches done over the excersize ball hurt like hell but get results

haha no they are all mainly from my basketball days of wanting to jump higher and higher, which I succeeded in doing.

I love grape vines, always do them as part of my warm up. But if anyone wants a good leg schedule for building power, especially jump height just let me know. I think I gave it to ICB before, it improved my vertical leap by like 6-8 inches in 6 weeks, so it is quite effective.

I've heard of some bad soties associated with this kind of neck work. I'm not sure if any are really considered safe anymore are they?

I have used it for years and i am fine nearly all wrestles use it tyson used it i think people try to do the hard version to quick and they get hurt but there are half version which are very good and would be safe for all levels of strenght

For traps you can do shoulder shrugs, but you need dumbbells.

i can believe you guys forgot the wrestlers bridge. thats some hip, back and neck strength right there son.

also, can someone make a section for the back muscles? pull ups are the only thing i can think of. oh and the bridge.

bumpity bump for awesomeness and more plz.

Push Ups
Fior the shoulders, Chest, and the arms, these are a highly adaptable excercise which when performed can provide excellent results.

Pull Ups
Pull ups are a demanding excercise that I feel are excellent when developing the arams, back and oblique area muscles. The "drag" feeling creates a tough, but rewarding process.

Planks
These stationary bodyweight excercise are an excellent method of improiving core and abdominal strength. There is no manual required, for difficulty just add time!

Situps/Crunches
Essential in any boxers routine, these should be employed in my opinion not only to strengthen the abs in expectation of punishemnt, but also as to develop the core and condition essential pivoting muscles.



There's a start guys, what more do you guys like?

What is a plank? (I probably already may know what they are, I've just never heard of the term. :-[ )

I think He means staionery exercises, example, Lay sideways resting on your elbow, feet together body straight, lift your hips in line with the Head and feet so theres a straight line and Hold. Theres a few others like getting a Fit ball and putting your feet on that and keeping a straight line. Great for Posture. You can take these things a step further, but you have to be fit.

Here is a pic of a plank I just googled. Yea it is stationary. You just hold it and feel the burn. I am doing this in my regiment now. Wayy harder then they look.

A variable of them is the superman, which Salty posted about. Where you extend say your left arm, then right leg and hold. Then vise versa.

Killer.
