Body weight routine for strength gains Anonymous 2017-08-19 09:04:46 Post No. 42564011 [Report]

Hey everyone,
I'm coaching junior varsity and varsity water polo at a high school this fall. I met the team today and a lot of these boys are pretty thin and flimsy looking. We don't have access to the school weight room as football and basketball have priority. I want to add some kind of strength routine for them but for now all we can do is body weight stuff. When I played in high school and college we had a great weight rooms so other than push ups I'm not sure what else we can do. I would love some routine suggestions. Thanks

You can make every exercise gradually harder by changing the inclination (pushup with elevated hands, pushup, incline pushup), variations (close grip pushupy military press) or going to single limb movements (one hand pushup with elevated hands, one hand pushup, inclined one hand pushup). I am on a tablet so I can't provide much. Go educate yourself. Pirate some calisthenics books or buy them.

Go to body weight thread and get shit from there. Here are some ideas a lot of standart bodyweight exrercise can be transitioned into harder variations or get extra resistance added using some bands. Pullups can be done weighted. Bring over a chain, a carabiner and some weight plates from the weight room, football people probably have some to spare. Use it for pullups and dips once kids progress into reasonable rep ranges on bodyweight pullups and dips. You cant really replace the deadlift, so have fun with that. Make kids progress on harder variations of squats. For abs you dont really need any weights.
TLDR Pirate a calisthenics book and use that. Get creative. Dont ask for advise on /fit/
