bodyweight training - 15 July 2008 21:25

Hello all,

an I please ask your advice ?

I have for the past 3 days been doing 50 push ups and 40 crunches every half hour for 4 hours.

what kind of gains can I expect if I keep increasing my reps.

I plan on doing 1 hour of intense bodyweight training every morning aswell ie; tuck in burpees etc.

Boditronics - The finest sports nutrition achieving unsurpassed levels of quality and taste at affordable prices, why settle for second best?

Switch to harder bodyweight exercises, one arm press-ups if you can, clapping if that's too hard. Try a plank hold http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=I-y6Gb1ftLw before crunches, mix up crunches and decline sit-ups (possibly using a table and chair).

As it is you'll end up getting fitter, but you won't build much muscle.
