Posted by Bryan Hamann on Tuesday, June 26, 2012, In : Exercises 

 
If you’ve been following the push up training series, you’ll know that both Part 1 and Part 2 have been leading you up to this point, where you are ALMOST about ready to do one arm push ups. If you have followed the guidelines and advice laid out in Part 1 and 2, then you should be ready for these.

Part 2 laid out the lever push up. Before you attempt elevated one arm push ups, make sure you can do at least 12-15 reps for 2-3 sets PER ARM with lever push ups.

Push ups Part 2: Lever Push ups

Posted by Bryan Hamann on Tuesday, June 26, 2012, In : Exercises 

If you read part 1 on push up training and how to progress to the one arm push up, then you will know there are several exercises you need to master before you can progress to the one arm push up.

The Burpee: Part 1

Posted by Bryan Hamann on Monday, June 25, 2012, In : Exercises 

If you were to never have access to a gym or gym equipment ever again, how would you stay in shape? 

No, let me take it even further, if you were told that you could only do one exercise for the rest of your life, what would it be?

The deadlift, the squat, the dip, the chin? Nope, I’d choose the burpee.
