If your bodyweight muscle building program sucks, them you won't get any results, right? Well, here are two questions you need to ask yourself to make sure your bodyweight muscle building program doesn't suck: 1) Is it Challenging? If your current program does not challenge you, then it sucks.
Pretty simple.
However, how do you know if something is challenging or not? Some times, you keep doing something and you THINK it's challenging, but it might not really challenge you the way you need it to challenge you.
Ok, I know you're confused.
So lets put it this way: if you keep a training log (and you should) and if you've been doing the same exercises, reps, and sets in the same exact manner for more then 4 weeks, it's pretty much time to change things up.
And it doesn't take a whole lot to make the switch.
I personally like to start with the movements.
For example, if I'm doing Decline Pushups, lets now do Pushups with my feet on a stability ball.
If that's too easy, then I'll grab a back pack, put some weight in it, and do weight pushups with my feet on a stability ball.
2) Is it Exciting? Motivation is a key factor in exercise.
If you're not motivated, you won't train - another simple concept.
However, people will spend years doing something they don't particularly like - such as jogging - because people say it's good for them.
Well, I don't like jogging.
I'll do other forms of cardio.
I'd rather run sprints than jog.
It just doesn't excite me.
Something with certain lifts.
I just don't like them.
My body wasn't built for them, so I'm not going to do them.
I enjoy natural bodyweight movements, so I use a lot of bodyweight training into my workouts.
The workouts I create actually motivate me.
I wake up in the morning and look forward to the challenge in store for me.
So, two questions you need to ask yourself about your bodyweight mass building program - is it challenging and is it exciting? Because if it's not exciting, you won't do it.
And if you don't workout, then you won't get results.
Additionally, if you keep doing the same thing over and over again, you'll go no where.
You'll get bored, stop working out, and hence no results.
If you feel this way, then it's definitely time for you to get a new program.
