You guys do body weight exercises?

yo, wassup? A lot of wat ive been readin on these forums deals with a lot of weightlifting and barely any body weight workouts with pushups, pullups, dips, chins, lunges, stuff like that.

I was wondering if some of u guys do do these types of workouts.

I like to do dips after a chest or tri work out and I usually don't add any weight but started doing weighted ones last week and it was great.

I do weighted chins and weighted dips. 2 of the best exercises there are.

Weighted chins and weighted dips are two great upper body exercises. If you want to try a body weight exercise try doing a 50 rep breathing squat.

I do alot of bodyweight exercises. My entire ab workout is done using only body weight (leg raises, crunches, reverse crunches, etc). I also do chins, pushups and dips. I have problems with my wrist, so instead of doing close grip bench press, I do a close grip pushup, on my knuckles with palms facing inward to each other. That takes almost all the stress off my wrists. However, I can do alot of reps, so I do it at the end of my chest/tricep workout.

weighted bodyweight exercises mainly.

dips, pullups and lunges. bodyweight is good for building a good foundation of strength initially. then the carryover when adding weights is doubly good. hehe.

I love doing bodyweight exercises because they give me lots of strenght and particular definition that I do not find with other exercises.

Absolutely. Would strongly suggest as a change of pace to anyone to do an upper body routine of must push ups and pull ups for a few weeks. I go 1 rep, then 2, then3 up to about 10 with a brief rest in between for a total of about, well, something... 35 I guess.
