Favorite Bodyweight Excercise

[franks2089]

What is your favorite body weight excercise? If you select other please post. I would personally pick dips. I can go to the dip station and pretty much do them until I get bored.

It was a close one between diamond push ups and dips, but I went for the dips because they're more fun. :banghead:
Anyway, Triceps put the power behind your shot, so you gotta work 'em as much as you can.

I also enjoy dips, but I disagree with you GBaschski, I say your core would be more vital to the power in ones shot because of the rotation that takes place when one does shoot.

divebomber pushups are my favorite, a lot harder than all that stuff because they incorporate a lot of them

Good point, I didn't think about that one...I guess I was just thinking of triceps in comparison to biceps when you're shooting.

we do divebombers in wrestling. start standing on your feet, drop down so your on your hands and feet(knees bent) then kick your feet out behind you and have your butt sticking up in the air, then lower down like a pushup with your butt still in the air, then lower your butt down until your in normal pushup position, then stick your chest out and your head up, do the reverse until your back on your feet and jump straight up with your arms up in the air and go right back into it. try holding every position and try just going through the whole thing without stopping.

How about turtle walks.

1. Get into a low squating position
2. Hands behind your head, eyes looking straight ahead
3. Start walking but don't let your hips rise more than two feet off the ground.
4. Walk twenty yards forwards and then backwards.

I have about twenty bodyweight exercises for the total body. I can post a whole workout (45 min) with sets, tempos, etc if you all care to see it.....
