If you are struggling to see results with your
current body weight program... don't believe the lie that you need to «switch over to weights».
While I prefer lifting weights, I'm all for having some
decent body weight programs in my arsenal for those days and weeks I can't get to the gym.
If you are a beginner I would recommend doing a
full body weights program (i.e. work your upper and lower body at the same time).
A full
body weights program will work better than a split program (i.e. chest and triceps, back and biceps, legs and shoulders on separate days).
Instead of doing legs once per week, I would do a full
body weights program 3 times per week so you're not intensely fatiguing your legs.
I decided it was time to buy a Ferruggia product and

For about a year they do really great with
body weight programs.
Hey Todd, a few questions; I do not have access to a gym, and therefor I'm looking at starting
a body weight program with the goal of gaining muscle mass and strength as quick as possible, would you recommend I do this program, or are there similar programs with better / faster gains?
