It's a nice vid, plenty of room for improvement as far as a full body workout. here's my thoughts

I don't know how you feel about bodybuilding, but...
You've got nice size to your lats, makes you look big, thus good for doing video. Chest, shoulders and arms ain't bad either, you'd probably look great all cut up. Tough to get a read on your legs with those baggy shorts on, but to compliment your larger upper body train the neck more. Front and back bridges will help thicken it up and you could look awesome.

What's your height/weight, btw?

Really should have put some legs in this video, squats, pistols, lunge, step-ups, glute-ham raise, anything. Some core/ab work (hyperextensions, crunches, hanging leg raise, bridges, etc) to fill out that full body.

Also, since it is technically BWC, I'd like to see more arms variations without weights. Couldn't tell if you were using a pull-up bar or just the doorframe, but if you have a bar, toss a towel over it for bridge and curl horizontal rows, and don't forget chin-ups!

Bent Over Tricep Raises are often called Tricep Kickbacks, but I reckon the name doesn't matter.

thanks for the comments, they have been noted. how long should i do the back bridges for? it was a pull-up bar. I am planning on making a video with just bodyweight exercises soon with different variations of pushups and pull ups.thank you

Bridging has many variations, it can be performed in reps by rocking back and forth or by doing static holds (similar to planks). If you're not used to doing them, take it real easy at first, and be sure to keep your hands planted for security. A real sore neck and really slow down daily life, so don't overdo it early on. The neck gets a lot of bloodflow and recovers fast, so you can work it three times a week no problem. You can also do a sitting or laying (on bench) forward/back bends or side to side (avoid rotating movements). You can also do headstands, but beware the level of stress you're putting on your neck.

I'm a big fan of a strong neck. It can save you from injury, being choked out and looking like a pencil-necked geek. ;)

[Pushup_Man]

nice, i will do bridges every morning and every night before bed. ive always wanted a big neck after all. im not into headstands though, looks really risky

[Appleman]

Pretty good form on every move. When chining you should try to get more range of motion, but comming down lower.

A lot of shoulder work. Bodyweight exercises are working well for you too. :)

More of this stuff and Balleys will be out of busness. Keep up the good work!

[Celcius]

It feels good to workout in the privacy of your home ;)

Thanks for making the video. Also thanks for BWC promo.

Nice workout. Your form is good except for the Chinup thing that Appleman mentioned. Nice to see you doing the elbow dips/bodyweight skullcrushers, not many people know about them, they're a great exercise. Instead of the isolation work for the biceps and shoulders, you could try
close-grip chins for the bi's and pike pushups for the shoulders.

Nice vid , your physique is close to mine in proportion , Only I think I'm a tad leaner and maybe smaller.


your chin ups are partials, do the full ROM (your biceps will mostly be affected)

[Fatman]

Nice video.

Do you also post in the Spartan Warriors forum? I saw thi vid there also.

Keep it up!

Edit: saw the credits at the end of the video. Stupid question - please disregard!

[Pushup_Man]

thanks a lot for the positive comments and advice guys, it feels good to know that the way i'm training is good. yes, i definitely should go down lower on the pullups/chin ups.
i always try and promote bodyweightculture and spartan-warriors whenever i can, to my friends and over the internet because these two communities(it's more than just a forum) have done a lot for me.
thanks

pike pushups?is this a form of handstand?yes skullcrushers are great and hard too. its a shame that they arent poupular. i was showing it to my friend last time and he thought it was too easy. he couldnt even do 1/2 of 1 rep and it was on the high table as seen on the video. i am now using a table that is knee height. its damn hard but awesome

oh by the way i didnt answer your question and i apologise. my height is 6ft 2 and i weigh 92 kilos. I am 20 years old

pike pushups?is this a form of handstan

Yes, it's the beginning of a progression to HSPU's. Start with pike pushups with your feet on the ground, then a low box, then higher, etc.
