Prison Workout

July 16th, 2009 Sparky No comments

Wit has stumbled the other day upon this wonderful article about prison workouts and we thought we might just share with all you guys and gals since it reflects the Bodytweaker’s lifestyle, simplicity and down-to-earth, tough workouts in a small environment with little or no resources.

Now, you don’t need to get locked up to do this workout. It works just fine when you don’t have any cash to spend on expensive (and worthless) equipment and gym memberships or you are on a business trip in an hotel room and need your dose of hardcore workout to get the day started.

This is a wonderful addition to our non-equipment workout routine and get fit at home posts.

The 300 workout

August 4th, 2007 Sparky No comments

This is the workout the actors from "300" had to go through. No machines, no expensive equipment. Just old-school brutal force to build muscles and cut fat in record time. A training aimed at real strength and performance, not even close to the "pussies" bodybuilding. The looks came as a by-product. Quality above quantity: a true bodytweaker spirit!

Few key notes:

  • The workout was designed to create strength and power the actors would need to BE real spartan warriors.
  • No muscle group concentration: no curls, no extensions, no any of the crap you will be taught in an average gym. Through full-body exercises your neuromuscular system is taught to use all muscles together as teamplayers for real-world tasks.
  • Dymanic training. No workout was like the other. New exercises, variations and combinations kept the muscles stimulated.
