Track days 

[bodyweightfitness]

Sprinting does a body good!

To burn fat and build muscle do fast sprint works outs:

Try 8 flying 150s, start at the 150 mark on a track and start to build up speed when you hit the 100 meter mark pick up the speed to almost %100

Have not been on here in awhile

So I caved in and joined a gym so I do weight lifting and calisthenics now. I have gained about 15lbs since I started lifting. Hope to add progress pics, workouts, food plans and more ...

Calisthenics or Crossfit??

I always go back and forth as to what I want to do. I enjoy both but just not sure which one I should put my all into

Calisthenics  Pros:

Free

Can do it anywhere any time

You can accomplish some amazing feats

Calisthenics Cons :

Slow development

Lack of training partners

Gets boring at times

I miss weights

____________________________________________________

Crossfit Pros:

Varity of workouts

Training partners

Tangable goals

Crossfit Cons:

Cost

Loss of control over workouts

Restricted to one place and certain times

What I may do is just a combo of both, but once I pick up running track again next season something will have to budge.

COW #2

Challenge of the Week:

Complete as many muscles ups as you can with out touching the ground. If you cant do a muscle up do regular pull ups.

Completed: 15 muscle ups. 

* Its crazy how just 3 months ago I did my first muscle up and could barley do more than one at a time. With hard work I'm up to 15, wonder where ill be in another 3 months . 

Just dont let this be you!

COW #1 - Dips

Perform as many dips as you can straight. Full extension at the top and get deep.

I completed 72 dips.

Enjoy!

[bodyweightfitness]

Like how you put up all your goals and crossed em off for the ones you've achieved. <3Calisthenics! question, do you do any weights or pure calisthenics?

I do pure calisthenics at the moment, its something new and exciting for me. I do have a 45lb kettle ball I use maybe once a week. The goals give me something to look forward to.
