Bodyweight Training - Day 2 Upper
We’re back! Hoping the first day of the quarantine workout series went well for everyone.
Today’s focus is going to be on upper body, again primarily plyometrics, isometrics and some trunk/core work for you at the end.
Today we’re going to be adding a weighted backpack, and you’ll also need a towel and something to hook it to. A band would substitute fine for this as well.
Without further adieu, let’s get into this training session!
A-skips 4x10 yards
Skaters 3x4 each side
Pogo jumps 4x20
Line hops 4x10s
Pushups 6-8x10 (2/2/2/1)
Inverted Row 6-8x10 (2/2/2/1)
Farmer’s carries 5x20 yards
We’re sticking to basic movements with this workout. Pushups are one of those things that are looked over because they’re a little basic, however, they’re more difficult than most realize to execute well. That’s why the volume has been left up to you a little bit. Complete as many sets in the given ranged as you can with perfect form and adhering to the tempos prescribed.
For the farmer’s carries, use water jugs, two backpacks filled with books, or any heavy implement you can find to challenge your grip strength. Make sure you’re staying in a good upright position, with your shoulders over your hips and ribcage stacked.
Give it a shot and let me know what you think!
