Table Of ContentPush & Pull Workouts
I elegantly fused various pull-ups, core exercises, pushup
variations, and also dips -all into a single workout.
I designed dozens of routines with a large variety of basic
exercises. Moreso, you will be thrilled to discover weighted
calisthenics, deadlifts as well.
The way I structured leaves room for creativity and
adjustments. I give you the workouts, but you can easily adjust
sets, reps, or suitably rearrange the exercises as you please.
These charts are best suited for those willing to build
strength, muscular endurance, improve muscle definition, and
even for muscle growth.
There is a wide range of training methods: classic
bodybuilding style, pyramids, and circuits. That is why, some of
them will mainly exhaust your muscles, while others will also
increase a lot your cardiovascular system. The last ones will feel
more like HIIT.
Let's say you want to train your upper-body muscles as a
whole unite system. Then you landed right on the spot for that.
The entire exercises are compound and train more muscle
groups at the same time. You can utilize them effectively for
targeting lats, shoulders, biceps, and so on.
I added so many routines, and yet, there is room left for
more. If you pick a workout from the Pull-Up charts and
another from the Pushups & Dips Charts, you can constitute an
entirely new Push & Pull workouts, different than the ones
here.
