Well yesterday i did one arm deadlifts (oly bar 7'), pull throughs, and the pulldown in OSC s pic above (now called Oscars pulldowns ) and I can really feel my mid back area. So well pleased with both new exercises.

Today has been chest day and was going to do the bridge pullover and press, after warming up with just the pullover and press, only to be told that i couldnt do that in the gym, so ended up doing heavy dumbell incline presses,after doing weighted dips. also did pressups with feet on a fit ball and hands on dumbells (they were good) Cant really think of anything a little different that is allowable in the gym.

The proper name for them is racing driver pulldowns,

Pity the plonkers wouldnt let you do the pullover presses,thats the beuty of training at home like I do I can do anything I want.

I`ve started doing the back bridge and staying in that position till I`ve read a couple of pages of a book I`m going through at the moment,makes me concentrate more on balance and breathing a little more.

If your looking for something different to do try handstand push ups against a wall or divebomber press ups or supersetting the above dip exercise with neck presses.

I do neck bridges, and they have no problem with that, i think its just the barbell thing.

I was thinking of Hindu pressups or dive bombers

Neck presses ? is that bench press to the neck.

Cookie, have you got a written description of how to do the janga (sp) sit ups with a partner instead of the machine??

man this thread is awesome. Love seeing the old time movements and having some bodyweight exercises thrown in. Once ive done my 18 weeks worth of oppurtunitas im thinking of doing some of these bodyweight exercises in a program -

Chins/ pull ups (working into weighted sets)
one arm pull ups/one arm weighted pull ups
Dips (working into weighted sets)
Inverted press ups
Hindu Squats

or include some gymnastics movements to improve functional strength a lot like
planche or levers - planche are like doing press ups with your feet off the ground the first kind being a frog planche levers are like doing a whole bodyweight row as in you keep your legs in the air, horizontal whilst pulling yourself up, it looks solid! there are various ways to work into doing those though, cant do them straight away. Awesome!

I did some the other day pretty brutal managed 4 first set(may have been doing them wrong) only managed 1 rep second set just too much pain.

I got a short bar and put a towel over it and put the bar under neath my legs(in my knee crease,knees bent)and wedged the bar against the door frame(bar on outside me on the inside)pulled againt the bar with my legs and tensed hams and glutes(didnt feel the glutes tense mush,may need practise)and started to curl myself up and you can feel the abs seriously contract to the point of cramping.

Cap mate just keep it simple buddy start off with the hindu squats and push ups and neck bridge each day and work up slowly from there once you`ve got used to doing them right.

I tried some handstand pressups againt the door yesterday(stomach facing door)and got 5 out but that was tough going I could feel the whole body shaking to keep stability in place,kinda fun.

Thanks for the links samurai I look them over.

I tried them once, the janda, couldnt get the feel right, heard when you got them they were really hard.

Have managed 3/4 handstand presses the other way round, with hands on push-up bars. tough going

Looks about 50kg, so it would be down to balance, might have a go with 5' bar and 20kg next shoulder day (probably a liftime ban from the gym)
