This is a unique variation of the dip that hits the chest. It's a great alternative if you don't have dipping bars or two bars to make your own dip stand in the rack.

The Pull-Up is a standard back exercise...for good reason...it's one of the best you can do! This version of the pull-up utilizes the V- handle attachment that usually gets attached to cables for Seated Cable Rows and forces you to pull in a way that directly targets the lower lats.

Pre-exhaust training is useful when you have bodyparts, like chest for instance, that don't respond well to "normal" training. With chest in particular, the triceps or shoulders can often take over the movements. To get around this, you use pre-exhaust. You basically do an isolation exercise for the bodypart followed immediately by a compound exercise, e.g. flyes then bench press.

The Handstand Push-Up is, in my opinion, THE single most effective shoulder exercise you can do. The mechanics are exactly like a regular shoulder press but, since you're moving your bodyweight through space, you active the shoulder muscle fibers far more...

Ok, so here's one I can pretty much PROMISE you've never seen anything like before. It's one of THE most insane exercises I've ever come up with and believe me...if you want to really hammer your quads, it's going to leave you on the floor after the first set. But I'll tell you right up front...it LOOKS worse than it actually is...the bottom part of the movement is actually safer than a "normal" sissy squat because of how you're supporting yourself (you'll see)...

This is a great technique for hitting the upper chest with negative training without having a training partner to help you get the weight back up to the top. What you'll do is simple and it just involves adjusting your body position on the ball. This is one bench press that you CAN'T do on a bench because of the dynamic body positioning involved.

Six pack abs, flat stomach, strong core...sound interesting? But what to do you if you've tried every abdominal exercise in the book and you need something NEW? These following 3 ab exercises, using only very simple equipment, will hit your abs in ways they've NEVER felt before...

This is a great exercise for not only working the back but developing core strength and stability as well.

You're basically combining a one arm dumbell row with what looks like a one arm plank exercise (the ab exercise where you rest on your elbows and toes while keep your body straight).

The plank is a classic ab exercise. Simple...uses just bodyweight...very effective. If you haven't seen it, basically lay flat on your stomach on the floor then hold yourself up on your forearms, keeping your body straight like a plank.

Now it's time to kick it up a notch, because you know me...I'm all about taking the easy way out and doing things like a "normal" person...

This is one my favorite "quick and easy" supersets for biceps because you don't have to change weights or stations or anything like that. It'll give your biceps a great growth stimulation!

Yep, seems like a strange question for someone like ME to be asking! After all, with all the lunatic stuff I come up with, you'd think I'd be a proponent of doing something different every single day!

Oddly enough, even though I have a TON of unique exercises, I have training sessions where I do nothing but basic stuff and don't even TRY to come up with new twists on anything.

Let me just start by saying, even if you're STRONG with dips, this exercise is going to challenge you like you're never been challenged with a dip before. To give you an idea, I can do 50 reps of bodyweight dips but 5 reps on this version is tough.

But don't let that scare you! You're going to LOVE this one. This is GREAT exercise for the entire upper body.

The dumbell split squat is one of my favorite leg exercises - you can really work this one till you fall down - I like it better than squats for hitting the thighs hard, in fact.

This variation of it gives you a few benefits on top of the split squat on the floor - with a tradeoff...stability...

So it's no secret that I like using equipment that offers multiple exercises. When it comes to THAT, the sandbag is one of the kings of the hill. I HIGHLY recommend grabbing one of these, if you don't already have one. I have a bag filled with 70 lbs of sand. It can be used for a TON of exercises (click here to grab yours) and is EXTREMELY functional...this exercise is no different!

This technique is basically a "variation drop set", though you could also call it a giant set (3 or more exercises in a row with no rest). You're going to be doing 3 different types of squats, using the different leverages of each variation as the drop instead of reducing weight. It's a pretty straightforward concept once you see it in action...

Need some extra resistance for your Chin-Ups? This is a unique way to do it that adds a balance component and requires hamstring strength, making the exercise more of a total-body type of exercise.

Let me just start by saying when I say MAX range, I mean MAXIMUM range! With this exercise, you are going to be using a bench and dumbells to achieve a range of motion in the squat far greater than what you normally would use.

This is partly an ab exercise, partly a leg exercise, partly a shoulder exercise, partly a back exercise and very a much a total-body exercise. The concept is simple...pick up a single dumbell then swing it up as high as you can in front of you! There are some tricks to it, though...

This is a technique that solves several problems at once when it comes to rowing with barbells and dumbells. The first problem is how to maintain proper body position when doing a barbell or dumbell row. The next problem is how to work your neck without specifically setting aside time to work your neck. This technique adds direct neck work into your back work.

The Barbell Curl is the king of bicep exercises. You want big biceps, you do barbell curls. But when you get to a certain level of development, the standard strict barbell curl doesn't always give your biceps enough growth stimulation to get the job done. That's where the Barbell Cheat Curl comes in. Here's the key...you're not cheating just to use more weight.

The deadlift is without question, one of THE very best exercises you can do. There are a ton of different variations of the deadlift a person can do. I've got a good one for you to try out!

This version of the deadlift turns everything 90 degrees. Literally!

The Stiff-Legged Deadlift is an exercise I'm sure you'll recognize. If you don't recognize it, then this is not really a good exercise for you to try because it's going to thoroughly overload the top range of motion of it with VERY heavy weight!

This is a really powerful technique - it's your basic top-range partial movement but done using the top range of the Stiff-Legged Deadlift (if you read the title, you may have figured this out already...)
