Bodyweight training and animal strength.

Bodyweight training and animal strength.

There are a lot of people telling you that if you train like an animal
in the wild, you get as strong as an animal.

This is what most bodyweight trainers selling info will tell you,
look at how animals train. Animals don’t train, they survive.

We could never be as strong as an animal, no matter what drugs
you take it will never happen. Animals don’t think, they either run
or kill. We think, they react. Because we know we have limitations
that’s where we fall short. Animals have no idea what they are
able to do, they just do it.

The baddest of the bad couldn’t go out in the woods and with his bare hands
chase down a deer kill it. You could live in a tree and do pull-ups until the
cows come home, and still never have the strength of an animal.

We can’t catch a puppy that doesn’t want to be caught.

That’s where the “Wildman Philosophy” takes over.

You can train as natural as possible and build a great amount
of strength and never have to step inside of a gym again.

If we learn to train our bodies as one unit, the strength that we could build
is unbelievable. When you discover the strength, endurance, agility,
the explosive power the coordination and balance you can build
using your own bodyweight will amaze you.

The more natural you train your body, the more natural you eat and the
more simple you live, the more healthy and fit you will be.

Try this short but very effective strength builder:

Mark off 5 yards: Get in a pushup position, now explode propelling
your body forward, as you go forward and do a pushup from the bottom
explode up and out – Go for 5 yards walk back and repeat as fast as possible
of 20 sets or 100 yards. This will build a lot of strength:

Start your day with bodyweight training

How you start the day will determine how the day goes. If you start
the day with exercise your day will be super-charged. For you
that don’t have time to exercise get up 15 minutes earlier and
start to sweat.

For over 20 years I have trained before work and the results and benefits are amazing,
not to mention the attitude knowing that the hardest part of the days done. You don’t
have to worry about going to the gym or if you will have time to train,your done. Now you
can do the other things that need to get done.

Try the early morning workout and I promise the day will seem to be a lot more productive.

Bodyweight training never requires any equipment.

June 11, 2010 by Johnny Grube

To get a great workout in no time at all never ever requires any equipment ever.

I did a post the other day about the rings I used to do pullups with, I used them
because of the situation I was in. Very rarely do I use them. Not because they
aren’t a great tool that will build great strength, but because I like to be able to
count on me and my body as the only thing I have, and if I do use equipment
I want it to be things that can be found where ever I’m at.

Because you can’t always count on equipment being there, you don’t always
know where you will be and I found if people get thrown off their game plan
they will skip their workout.

I want to educate men and women and let them know that the only equipment you
need at any given time is your own bodyweight. I have been know to workout at work,
waiting for my kids, at a rest stop it doesn’t matter.

Last week while waiting for my daughter to get out of church I decided to do some
light hill sprints while I was waiting, just to get the blood flowing. If I depended on
any type of equipment I wouldn’t have gotten out of the car.

I love the fact that I can stay in great shape and never need to use a kettle bell, sandbags,
flip tires, hit tires with sledge hammers whatever, I just love being simple and self-reliant.

As a matter of fact the only piece of equipment I use almost everyday is a jump rope, why
because it’s simple, it works and you can carry it with you anywhere even in your pocket.

I also use a towel, either to pull against, to stretch or the throw over something so I can
do pullups.

So try to make yourself as self-reliant with your training as possible.

Build great strength with this piece of equipment.

June 10, 2010 by Johnny Grube

Even though I train using my bodyweight, I also like to use
some different equipment to change things up. I have a lot
of different equipment I have collected over the years.

One piece is the gymnastic rings. These rings are great for
working the muscles in a way traditional ways won’t.

The rings will build great strength throughout the whole body,
and they will work muscles you didn’t even know you had.

One great exercise you can do with the rings is pullups, The
other day I went to the park I usually train in, but there was
a kid playing in the park.

So instead of throwing him and his grandmother  out of the park
I grabbed my rings went to the gazebo found a place to secure the
rings and I was ready to workout.

Doing pullups on rings are a little different then on a straight bar,
they swing,twist,and are unstable but that is where muscles is built.

The workout I did was jump rope 1,250 times and finish off with
100 prisoner squat thrust and standing up and doing 1 pullup for
each prisoner squat thrust for a total time for 1,250, 100 prisoner
squat thrusts and 100 ring pullups 23:25

This workout will have you sweating and wanting to quit after about
50 but don’t quit, try for a time of under 30 minutes.

Build functional strength with this pushup

Johnny Grube showing another pushup for functional strength

If you really want to build functional fitness you need to
train your body functional. You need to train so you learn
how to use your body as one. Real functional fitness works
the whole body, it uses many muscles that traditional training
doesn’t.

The quicker you learn you need to train functional the better
off you will be. The stronger you will become. The more muscles
you can use at anytime the stronger you become. The more tension
you keep on a muscle the stronger you become.

Today workouts have to much rest time. As a matter of fact
there is more rest time then actual training time.

You can do what you want or listen to who you want that’s up
to you, I know the more rest you get the softer you become.

Train hard, know your body and push a little harder, and work
your body like it should be as one.

Checkout these two pushup videos and stay tuned for others.

Real Men Exercise Everyday.

June 8, 2010 by Johnny Grube

Yeah, really men train every single day. Just because you have heard from
other trainers and fitness gurus your body needs time to rest doesn’t mean
it’s correct.

If you take a shower everyday, brush your teeth everyday then you should work
the body everyday. The body doesn’t need the rest you think it does as a matter of fact the
body can be worked extremely hard and recovery pretty quickly if you do the right
things.

The body is amazing and can handle the stress you put on it, men that think all I need is
to train 2 to 3 times a week are fooling themselves. If you exercise  2to 3 times a week
that will be the results you get.

The body does need rest but not as much as you are lead to believe. The muscles in your
body will handle the load if you just give it the load.

You need to to push yourself as hard as possible then other times you need to take it a little
easier. You need to know your body, you are the only one that knows what you are capable of.

Unless you continue to push yourself you will never improve and you will stay weak and soft.

I don’t care if you go for a walk on one of your training days, walking is exercise and a great one at that,
it doesn’t matter if you do just 50 pushups as workout day it’s still exercise and over time these little
workouts will bring huge workouts. Try it.

Read this FREE

This is what drives almost everyone to respond to almost anything, but
we have become conditioned to know that there is probably a price to
pay. He’s the way I see FREE.

I always get questions like what can I do to lose weight, I’ve seen many, many times
after I give advice later the same night they get a cheese steak for dinner, or the

Will order a chef salad you know the salad full nutritious lunch meat or the hoagie
without the roll. A waste of my time.

How about the people on the forums who will bad mouth anyone they can because
they can get the same information for free. Yeah, nothing like having all day to surf the
internet while your supposed to be working, if they even have a job. I love getting
the bad mouth, like I should take some courses in grammar, so I write fast sometimes
I don’t edit, but if you have listened to me talk on my videos you can tell I’m no idiot.

Hey, I can care less who doesn’t like me, yeah that’s right, and anyone who knows me can tell
you that, andI also rub people the wrong way as a matter of fact I had someone told me to
write a book and call it “how to lose friends and piss people off”.

What about the people that get your email and never send anyone any good information
or any type of workouts, they just keep on contacting you day in and day out. At least

I feel that when I make contact I at least usually give a good workout that I actually
do or have done, that give’s you at least something I promise. Yeah, sometimes
I go off on a rant or two, but that’s just me.

The people that want FREE will usually never buy or get off their ass to try anything
so why bother, because there are some that are actually serious students.

I have been training for 30 years, ( not a misprint ) and over the years I have bought
and tried tons of supplements read tons of fitness magazines which I still have from the 70”s
and 80’s not to mention all the books I read and courses I have bought, my opinion
is if I can take their info then I usually will buy from them.

Some of the things I’ve ordered have been shit, but most I learned something, and if
I learned one thing I didn’t know It was worth it. I will spend a lot of money if I think
I will learn something I didn’t know. You don’t train for 30 years and not be student.

Some people confuse me, today I was a local farmers market and noticed two
things, one, it’s a great place to meet women because not many men go their.
( I’m married ) and two, I seen a fat walking around carrying a paper plate with two
pieces of pepperoni pizza sipping on a Pepsi. Sometimes I wonder.

So be careful giving FREE advice to people that ask, you are probably wasting
your time.

Bronco Burpees

Bronco Burpees

I’m amazed at how many people don’t realize how easy it is to take a simple
exercise like the burpee and make it even harder just by changing body
dynamics.

Doing the Bronco Burpees takes more strength because you are putting most of your
weight on your arms and kicking up with your legs which makes this variation tough
to do.

Try a few of these until you get the feel for them. And the more tired you get the
tougher they become.

A Jump rope smoker

June 1, 2010 by Johnny Grube

It’s no secret how I feel about jumping rope,the reason speak for themselves.

When I train I want the fastest and quickest results I can get, I want no
wasted time. In my opinion the more complicated you make you workouts the less
likely you will continue your workouts.

Jumping rope has been used for a long, long time to get athletes in great shape.
Jumping rope will build speed, explosiveness, coordination, balance,agility
and will strip off the fat at break neck pace.

I got a jump rope workout that will leave you in a puddle of water in under 20 minutes
so give it a try.

The workout: Jump rope sprints

Jump rope for 1 minute-rest for 1 minute repeat 4 times.

Jump rope for 30 seconds-rest for 30 seconds repeat 6 times.

Jump rope for 15 seconds-rest for 15 seconds repeat 8 times.

You want to turn the rope as fast as you can for the time of the workout,
no slow training as fast as possible.

If you feel the need at the end try 50 burpees, 50 pushups and 10 pullups.

This is a tough workout simple but effective.
