It’s always interesting to me when people get frustrated from having a lack of equipment or access to a gym in order to train. Last I checked strength doesn’t come from a gym membership it comes from knowledge and effort. Today I want to look at where we should be looking when excuses start to creep in to keep us from training just because there may be a lack of equipment and resources.

Let’s face it, in the fast-paced world of social media and fluff news pieces it’s not difficult to fall for the hype of get rich quick, lose weight fast, and new and improved world schemes. We have all fallen for it and many of us have a little bit of regret associated with our decisions.
When it comes to bodyweight training there is no doubt that the burpee exercise seems to be the focus for many coaches and trainers this day age. With the explosion of private box gyms and more emphasis being placed on honing in on the development of strength, along with minimal equipment, the burpee calisthenic has seemingly risen from the ashes as a primary bodyweight option from the relics of old school conditioning.
For Part 3 of High Impact Strength Movements we’re going to be talking about pull ups. Oh yes, if the almighty pull up wasn’t part of this series then I wouldn’t be doing my job my friend. You should constantly be including pull ups into your journey towards being able to beat up on your athletic competition while also acquiring the ability to lift a googol (not be confused with the big search engine called Google that’s also reading this article right now) of poundage. However, before you stand up under that bar take a minute to keep on reading to hopefully broaden your pull up horizons!

So today I decided to throw in a quick post regarding the push up exercise. Lately I’ve been getting hammered with emails regarding questions on training and the following is one that I got from Jon. Yes, that’s “Jon” without the “h”.
Jon asked “Coach Brandon, when doing my push ups I feel like something may be off. Some of my friends have pointed out that I’m doing them too fast and that my form looks off. Do you have any nuggets of information that may help me figure out the problem?” Well, Jon today is your lucky day my friend. Keep on reading to find out!
