Strength Training Without Weights - Work Capacity

(My Original Blog Post: http://mikeroussell.com/strength-training-without-weights/)
In this video 2006  NSCA Strength Coach of the Year, Robert Dos Remedios talks about work capacity and how it is a key component to your strength training and fat loss workouts with or without weights. When training with just your body weight it is extra important to increase the stress on your body by decreasing rest times and pushing your work capacity to the limit.  Here is a simple strength training workout without weights that Coach Dos described in the video is as follows:


  • Clap Push Up x 10

  • Burpee x 10

  • Squat Jumps x 10

  • Plank to Push Up x 10


Repeat 3 times with as little rest as possible.

See how long it takes for you to complete all 3 rounds. Repeat this circuit at least weekly trying to improve your time each time through.
