PeterSweden Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Im trying to get alittle more "fit" and some better conditioning so I do train with my bodyweight and no rest. Today I did: 20 bw squats 1 pushup 19 bw squats 2 pushup 18bw squats 3 pushup 17bw squats 4 pushup 16bw squats 5 pushup 15bw squats 6 pushup 14bw squats 7 pushup 13bw squats 8 pushup 12bw squats 9 pushup 11bw squats 10 pushups 10 bw squats 11 pushups 9 bw squats 12 pushups 8 bw squats 13 pushups 7 bw squats 14 pushups 6 bw squats 15 pushups 5 bw squats 16 pushups 4 bw squats 17 pushups 3 bw squats 18 pushups 2 bw squats 19 pushups 1 bw squats 20 pushups Did it in 22 minutes and 8 seconds. Last time I tried it I did it in 25.26 I think. Anyone else care to try it? Im doing this once a week for a couple of months now. Going to try to get it under 20 minutes as my next goal. If you're not used to training conditioning I recommend having a bucket next to you. I almost puked today. I wright it all down on a paper before I start to keep track of where I am and what I've done. Its easy to lose track of sets and reps when you're fighting that vomit gasping for air. As little rest as possible. Edited April 9, 2014 by PeterSweden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pizzo Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 This looks like a great idea for conditioning! And this: f you're not used to training conditioning I recommend having a bucket next to you. I almost puked today. sounds about right man! Did you read about this somewhere or kind of stumble across it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 I read about it somewhere a year or two ago but I cant remember where atm. It was some fitnessguru on youtube I think. A couple of tips for first timers: Bounce out of the hole when squatting. Go well under paralell. That seems to save energy. Dont blue flame yourself right away. Have a steady pace through it all. It affected my breathing til the squats came to 10 and under, after that it was more straining on the muscles in the pushups. I did this 6 hours ago and my legs are still spaghetti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pizzo Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'll give this thing a try on Saturday and post what happened back here in the thread. I'm guessing it might be better to do this on an empty stomach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hahah, yeah, I think so too I drank halv a liter of water 30 minutes prior so I woudlnt get thirsty during these intense 20 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Used to do conditioning like this when I did mma, man this stuff is horrendous and definitely need a bucket near by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Im sore as hell and totally fatigued and I havent gone to bed and woken up yet!

EJ Livesey Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Very cool. Never seen it broken down like that before. I've heard a few people refer to this as "convict conditioning", using only body weight and a chair or bed. Your workout sounds brutal.

PeterSweden Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Okey, so its day 4 after training and Im still sore as all hell My friends tried this and both of them quit after doing 3 squats. One did this 19:55 and the other one did it in 20:30. So Im still king of the hill haha! Anyone tried this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 My friends tried this and both of them quit after doing 3 squats. One did this 19:55 and the other one did it in 20:30. How could you quit that close to the end?? I would never let them hear the end of that. If I remember I think this exact workout was one of Jedd's Diesel Crew challenges. I'll give it a try this this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pizzo Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Anyone tried this yet? Yup...just tried and failed! I finished at the set of 8 squats and 13 push-ups in 16:01 @244 lbs...so I still had 7 circuits to go . Great job man especially at 93 kilos! I don't know if I wanna even try this again next week! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Im going to do this once a week for 2-3 months now. I want to get fit and more conditioned Also my right pec is bothering me in bench so.. :S On mondays I punch the bag 10-15 minutes after my militarypress/grip workout. 2 days of hard cardio will do for now. Dont want to over do it right away. When I've done this for 2-3 months I will make a vid o me doing the above workout well under 20 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sharkey Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I tried this today. Great idea and easy to do. Started with 10 rep squats and I will work up adding a rep or two per week. Thanks for the post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was allright. Just really winded and acid in my triceps and legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 14:49 Squats, push ups and cardio. If you were to ask me which of these three things I would consider my forte I would say push ups without hesitation. I consider myself a push up machine. The push ups were the only part of this workout that gave me trouble lol. I'm sure it's because of the volume I did on bench and shoulder press this week but I still didn't expect it to be that hard. The last few sets of push ups I had to do all in single reps which added minutes to my time. I can do better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Good stuff! Rindo and Goody used to do this a couple of years ago. Mike was pushing them again last year when he kept getting zapped with barbell injuries and they came up with a few interesting variations. They called them 21's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the last few sets of pushups like 8 reps, rest 5 breaths, 5 reps, 5 deep breaths, 5 reps and so on til I get the reps im supposed to do. If I can up my conditioning a bit and get alittle more stamina for the pushups I will break 15 minutes easy I felt it mainly in my triceps. Actually nothing in the chest area... What do you weigh?

Wayne Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I was 193 when I did it. I think my morning weight was 191 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Did it again today. PRed again. Last time I did it in 18.04 and I was proud as all hell. Today I did it in 16.37. Im not getting winded as bad as when I did it a few weeks ago. Today I faced another problem. Better stamina = less rest between set of pushups. Cramped up in my triceps and chest. Im getting under 15minutes within a few weeks. Edited May 1, 2014 by PeterSweden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pizzo Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Last time I did it in 18.04 and I was proud as all hell. Today I did it in 16.37. Dang man that's a good solid improvement, and quick too. 15 minutes sounds like it will definitely fall soon...then what 13...12 maybe! I didn't want to try this again until after the Michigan Grip Championships this weekend because I've been doing only grip stuff. Maybe late next week I'll see if I can at least finish this thing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterSweden Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 It's alot of willpower in this! Even tho you think you'll faint, puke, collapse etc you have to think positive and just ignore the pain. Try not to rest even tho you want to. Keep doing reps even tho you're tired, just not in a very fast manner, just keep doing reps. Breath deep and controlled, slow the breathing down. Shallow breathing will exhaust you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
