3 x Dirty 30s 5min rest
2 x Dirty 30s 5min rest

I'm surprised at the effect of training on a thicker bar has on my numbers... that or the lack of proper training in recent weeks

Morning work out
CC Warm-up
40 dips
20 pull-ups
50 press-ups

Pre tea work out
CC Warm-up
Deck of the bar
20 leg raises (my hands were killing by this point)



Deck of the bar!
full 56 playing card deck (3 jokers, 1 bridge card)
draw 1 card, number = reps (jack = 11, queen = 12, king = 13)
suit denotes exercise,
clubs = pull-ups
diamonds = dips
spades = chin-ups
hearts = press-ups
each non playing card is a rest break, other than that, try no rest! (i used 4 mins/card)


You end up doing 91 of each exercise

I really liked it as you ended up with a very random workout, got very nasty on my third section when I ended up with
10C - QC - 1H - JS - 6S - KH - 7S - 8C

29 pull-ups, 24 pull-ups with only 1&13 Press-ups to break up the pulling exercises!

(The final section was all red!!)


Also point of note, do not put your hand on a stinging nettle plant on one of your press-up sets, it does not feel good!!

Flip me... i'm sore today!!

Awesome stuff man, I like how your workouts are different almost all the time. Do you come up with them at random that morning when your going to workout? Or do you have a pre set schedule focusing on different feats like strength, endurance, power etc...

I'm new to this site and I joined because I'm extremely interested in doing all bodyweight workouts now. I made the mistake of lifting for mass for the past couple of years for sports, but now that I'm going to the military in about 3 months I'm putting all my focus on bodyweight movements because that's how they evaluate you. You definitely know what your doing and thats why I'm asking you. Thanks a lot and keep puttin those workouts up and different posts! I'm learning a lot from you.

Thanks mate Most of these were thought up that morning or the night before. Glad they're giving you inspiration.

If you're new to calisthenics then check out the Bar-barian Begginers thread

So it's been a while since I visited my training log!

Unfortunately I injured my shoulder last october which realy hampered much of my training, especially with regards to dips but 6 months later it's almost completely healed and I'm able to have full range of movement with it without pain

So for the rest of this year I'm really going to push for the requirements and hopefully achieve them before the end of the year!

Recently i've just been working low reps (1-5 normally, often pyramids and an absolute max of 10, bar 1 or two competitions) multiple sets plenty of rest in order to re strengthen my shoulder again.

Now i've switched over to higher reps and boy has my stamina disappeared! I know I've a long way to climb again... but here goes



02/06/12
5 x (5 Muscle-ups, 20 Dips, 15 Pull-ups, 30 Press-ups) split into sets as needed.
Only 8 reps had to be split off, though I think that might be more an indication of too much rest rather than gaining strength, think i'll be keeping a closer eye on the rest rather than upping the reps at the minute.
Finish with 5 (5x1) muscle-ups

awesome tim. im looking forward to see progress. im also aiming for BBR at the moment so lets do this together. by the way, could you please share the CC shoulder warm up? thanks in advance.
