Body weight conditioning
Hey guys,
Curious of any of you use body weight conditioning workouts as a means of GPP, active recovery and or cardio. Currently on a 12 week cut, 6 weeks in. Lifting 5 days per week, ckd diet, and do steady state 2-3x/week. Just curious if anyone thinks it would be all that detrimental to profess to do body weight circuit training on an off day?
Something like
-push ups 2-3x25
-inverted row 2-3x25
-Squat or lunge 2-3x25
-weighted carry 2-3x50yds

One of the hardest parts of muscle growth is fighting against the urge to go to the gym.
Rest days should be kept sacred IMO.

I've read several different studies stating steady state cardio is a very inefficient method for fat loss for a strength athlete, bodybuilder, etc. Yeah I know, I saw Phil Heath on that one documentary running for miles and miles, I'm not saying it doesn't work for some, but I'm not Phil Heath. I think bodyweight conditioning is THE fat loss method. Perfect for cutting fat without losing size. There can be some lifting in there too, but you asked about body weight:
Any sort of lunge
All sorts of burpees
Pushups, depth pushups, plyo pushups
Sprints, especially hill sprints (less likelihood of hamstring injury because of the slower speed)
Backwards running
These are a few of my favorite things for fat loss. Combine them into a circuit, if you want to get stoopit throw in some tire flipos, keg toss, car push, etc.
