That bodyweight circuit certainly gets heart rate and breathing up! PIssing with sweat.
Should I add another round or increase reps first? Was thinking I’d do another week at least without changing anything.

Did you read about the chap in Germany who died , he was a seriel killer who murdered hitchhikers . apparently removed the cable from his bedside table , then wound it round his nipples and genitalia and put the cable in a live socket !!! he was still connected to the current when they opened the cell next morning !!! [times july 25th ]
That’s a Stronzetto bodyweight circuit
Probably needed another hour or two to be properly slow cooked throughout.
Some good ideas here -
Flung a few weights around today in an attempt to create some kind of form and consistency. Elbows holding up which is so far so good.
What does it comprise?
I made it up myself though it’s also partly designed on the basis of specific things the physio has told me to do (the single leg bridges). I plan to introduce pull ups before too long, and kettlebells eventually.
Couple of recommendations if you fancy varying your circuit above -
My own circuit is usually something like this -
3 rounds with 1 minute in between (or 30 seconds if I’m feeling masochistic)
Use this as a warm up or finisher for weights session.
Morning run for 3.4 miles.
Did my bodyweight circuit but 3 rounds. Dying.
Not done anything, other than commuting by bike, since karate last Friday
Did it again today…possibly a bit soon. Slow on last round. Will have a couple of days off before I go again.
@crimsondonkey plan is to vary once I’ve been doing this for a good few weeks so definitely looking for variations. As I suspected would be the case, chin ups are a bit easier (I can do a couple now :P) and plan to introduce those after a while as well. Kettlebells too.
Walking before I run.
Nice. You’ll soon have a back like Steve Reeves . To help up the reps there’s lots of ideas but doing straight arm scapular pulls is a great accessory exercise to take the load off the biceps
The sooner you get chins and KBs into your routine the better.
Managed a run in the morning and a bike ride with Hel in the evening yesterday. Much sweat
Like this?
That’s the one.
Only managed my bodyweight circuit once this week, today. I do feel like there’s been progress. I’ll aim to do it 2-3 times a week until the end of August and maybe start increasing reps in a week or so.
Ok- definite progress
Before I started the bodyweight circuit I couldn’t do the one-arm press in the link below with a 12kg kettlebell- even a single good form rep. This is the lightest one we own so I thought I was going to have to fork out for a few lighter ones. Now, I can do 8+ with the 12kg (I stopped at 8 because I thought that was the number of reps in that workout, but I just noticed it’s only 5 per side for this exercise)
In fact, I can do them with the 16kg now as well
Thinking I might actually do one kettlebell workout a week after the end of this month- i.e. replace one of my circuit days.
Maybe I should start doing negatives and the scapular pull up?
