Push, pull, squat and core. No equipment needed.

3 days / week
Session
~40 min
Equipment
A bar to hang from, nothing else

Who is it for?

Training at home, travelling, or between gym memberships.

How is it organised?

Four patterns — push, pull, squat, brace — trained with your own bodyweight. Load goes up by changing leverage and tempo instead of adding plates.

How do you progress?

When a set gets easy, slow the lowering phase to three seconds, then move to the harder variation listed on each exercise page.

These are sample plans to adapt to your level and equipment. Open an exercise to see its technique.
