Get Beastmode WIthout a Gym

When I was a kid I heard about this football monster named Herschel Walker and how he never used weights just bodyweight. You know, pushups, pullups, situps, etc... It turned the 6'1 225 man into one of the greatest football running backs EVER!!! He also was doing MMA in his late 40's early 50s knocking young cats out. Even now in his 50s hes still doing the same exercises and looking shredded! He would do around 3000 situps, 750-1500 pushups, mix in somewhere 1000 pullups, 1000 squats, 1000 dips. THIS IS DAILY!
Now I'm not saying go out there and match numbers with Herschel, even he had a low starting point and built the stength and endurance to do that. I've been doing this myself and I can say it's helped a ton with my strength and aesthetics. I still need my weights though just because I like to mix it up. But lets get some bodyweight training in guys and gals! Start somewhere like 100 pushups a day, 100 sit ups a day. Break them up to where you do  increments of 20 pushups and 20 situps. Take a break, get water and get back to it!
This month of This month of February I'm going to incorporate body-weight training with my workouts to show how much it works. I gotta lot of friends that want that summer body and or they're getting married. So uh, this is your best bet! BODY WEIGHT TRAINING!
I'll be posting my updates on here,  twitter, and instagram = My handle is @MonsieurPicot
Get it in with me guys! Hashtag #HWalkerWorkout and post your numbers done and progress.
Lastly make sure you stretch and foam/rumble roll those muscles!!!! You dont want to over compensate one muscle group (I'm guilty with pushups and bench pressing until I couldnt even keep my arms behind my ears when stretching.) That's gonna be key!!!
YOU HAVE TO WORK AT IT!!!!!!

JASPER BENINCASA THE STRENGTH LEGEND

You Probably never heard of the guy, but to the fitness and health nuts he may have come up in fitness lore. Reputed to have climbed up ropes with one hand, done the Iron cross with just one finger in each loop, record holding 1 arm chin ups, the 1 arm front lever and countless other "Moves" or exercises that entitle you to a certain respect in the fitness game. He was one of the ORIGINAL to do the "Bartendaz" style you can say or outside gymnasium guys you see on you tube today. Being a guy who loves these moves I cant help but represent and honor this Legend of amazing feats!!! All the moves that create awes in the gym or playground this guy mastered! The muscle up, levers, cranks, inverted levers, one armed pull/chin ups, planches!!! SALUTE and Rest in Gym Paradise. March 25,1921 to January 6, 2012 J.P.

Aim For Elite Strength

Well, this year is coming to a close which is when a lot of people start coming up with goals and resolutions for the new year. Any time is a good time for goals to chase but we know people are programmed to have these  new years resolutions. What better time to show you a few strength charts I've been using to guesstimate my clients and I's strength. The charts are based off a persons weight and 1 rep max strength. Also the strength is broken down into 5 categories. Untrained, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Elite. This isn't meant to discourage you if you fall short of where you think you should be, its a template to push towards new goals. Also the templates are in pounds. Ive taken the BIG 3 strength exercises, Bench Press, Squats, and Dead-lifts for men and women. These templates should give you a goal or two OR three to chase. So go tell a workout partner, personal trainer, B.F.F. that you are getting ELITE strength! Dead Lifts for Men Dead L
