    in Workout intensity for fat loss... Comment by Von203 March 2011
  • When I was rehabing my hand from a torn tendon surgery, I obviously lost a lot of my pull-up ability. I started with the chair, but found out quickly I was becoming a little too reliant on it. I then started doing jumping pull-ups and focused on the negative on the way down. As they become easier, don't jump as forcefully…

  • Infinite Intensity by Ross Enamait and Corps Strength by Paul Roarke are two great books for short money. Both are dumbbell/kettlebell focused and can be done in the basement/garage gym. As far as reps/sets, it depends on what your goals are.

  • Put two dumb bells by each foot squat down (use good form), stand up, curl them up to your shoulder, then press overhead. Repeat squat, stand, curl, press, x how many times you want to go. The faster you go the more intense it will be. That's just one combination I use.

    in Corps Strength.....Best bang for your buck!! Comment by Von203 December 2010
  • Great article!!! People get locked into their Mon, Wed. Fri. lifting routings and wonder why they haven't made any gains. My favorite HIIT is the bike or run sprint, rest 30sec. then manmakers or clean press with dumb bells for 30 seconds to a minute. Burpee pull-ups are fun/ murder too.

  • While I can't recommend any good DVD's, I can suggest Rosstraining. com. Plenty of free articles and weekly workouts posted on the forum board. He also sells some really good material really cheap ($25). One of his books, "Never Gymless" is great for when there is no access to gym. It comes with a fifty day template for…

  • Just be wary of quality. There are plenty of bad knock-offs out there. You want straps that are well-made and have strong anchor points. In my humble opinion, TRX and VPS are both excellent quality. Good luck.
    in TRX? Comment by Von203 January 2010
  • I don't own the TRX, I have the Vegas Pro Straps. (Same concept bodyweight resistance). I use them for both strength and for circuits. Some days I use a weight vest for further resistance. They are extremely versatile and sturdy. I currently have mine hanging from my pull-up bar in the basement, but have brought them on…
