I too feel like Heidi, in that I ache so much many days that I can't

really do much in the way of exercise, tho I do do some gardening. I

checked out the site you refered to and it's quite interesting.

My question -- has anyone really tried this " Combat Conditioning "

course???

I would like to try, but the site doesn't really tell how to do the

stuff, it wants to sell the book - video package. $100 + is not easy

to come by right now.

As I'm way behind on reading the digests again, if you have any info

for me please send it to me direct ( tho you could copy it to the list

as I would think others may also be interested) Thanks for your help.

Hi Carol,

No I haven't tried it but the concept of using your bodyweight for

exercising and not having to really on gyms or equipment is appealing to

me. I did a web search and found quite a bit of info on the topic.

It looks to me like one could actually get the basic info for about $20,

but I might have misread the website.

This is interesting. Ive only been doing bodyweight exercises/static holding

of legs, stomach and forearms ( working around my injury) ( stomach is just

static contractions sucking the tummy in )

And ive been shocked at how much firmer my legs aready are ( and stronger )

and also my forearms and abs from these simple things and not working to

failure.

Wonder if I can get this book in australia.

I'll get it from my son and see what I can do. If you really want it, I can

order it for you, have it shipped here, and then mail it to you. I can't

convert currency in my small town without big hassles so you would have to

get American dollars or an international money order in American dollars.

Email me off list if you want to do that. I will post the basics sometime

this weekend as I will have to look over it first.

Specifically, the one-armed pushup and the one-legged squat. Here's the

gist of it:

1. Limit repetitions per set to the lesser of half of your max or five.

2. Do several sets throughout the day, but be sure to avoid fatigue.

3. If you cannot do one-legged squats, start off by lowering yourself to

and rising from a chair/bench/box/etc. using one leg.

4. If you cannot do one-armed pushups, then you can adjust the angle to

make it easier. For example, you can put your feet on the ground and

your hand on a piece of furniture.

[Guest guest]

Thanks ,

1 question if you are just doing the squat and the pushup. How would this

effect solid core development ( abs, internal ect )

And back muscles ect?

I'm also doing pull-ups, military press, and kettlebell snatches and

swings. The point of " The Naked Warrior " is to be able to exercise when

you don't have access to equipment, hence the title. For long-term use,

Tsatsouline recommends adding a heavy pull, such as the deadlift or

snatch, at least twice per week.

Interesting. Very different from that other fellow posted (his

name escapes me at the moment) whose program involves ever-increasing reps

of calisthenics, up to and including thousands.

[Guest guest]

Ah ok. The current things I have been doing atm have given great results

( ill do 1 leg/2leg squat with fitball on my back aginst wall for 3 minutes(

what ever reps I get in with that time )

then I hold a 8 sec contraction. I also do that with forarms and stomach (

stomach is not sitsups just just tummy suckins )

This has yielded some considerable results within a matter of weeks ( I

generally do it once every day )

But not to failure ect.

So the summise of this book was interesting to me.

How has your progress been with it ?

From 1 of the bruce lee books I have. I read about the Batak squat and how

some age old middle eastern wrestler used to do 2000 a day. ( initially I

misread this to 2000 at once when I tried it a few years ago. Needless to

say I didn't make 2000 at once ( did do 300 ) and that was enough to bring

u down pretty quick lol

As you may remember from earlier threads on Tsatsouline's books, he has

long maintained that high-rep lifts are not a good way to build

strength. It appears that he intends to stick with that story.

[Guest guest]

-

Oh, I never expected him to fall in line with Matt Furey's ideas, but then

I was surprised to hear he'd come up with a body-weight system at

all. Still, as you describe it it makes sense.

Could anyone give a brief description of the one-legged squat? I just tried

it and it seemed easy, but I may have been doing it all wrong. On the other

hand, I squat with weights, so it might not be too hard for me.

What I did was try to mimic the motion of squatting with weights and stuck my

other leg out to the side-front. However, it was awkward trying to get my

butt below my knees without letting my other foot touch the ground.

Chris

[Guest guest]

Okay. It's just like was posted earlier. Two exercises, 1 armed pushups and

one-legged squats. The one armed pushups can be started with the upper body

elevated so that one can do them. You work your way down to the floor. With

the squats, you go down to your heal with the other leg out front and come

back up. If you can't do it, go as low as you can and work down to your

heel. They can be made harder by holding a weight once you get the basics

mastered. It's a pretty simple system actually.

That's the truth. I can't do the one-legged squat. I could do one one-armed

push up with each arm. Of course, I can't do it now with my right arm after

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the comments on combat conditioning/home exercise. I

think I am going to check out the Naked Warrior before looking at Matt

Furey.

For those of you interested in lifting weights from home in a space no

bigger than a desk area, check out this link:

http://www.powerblocks.com/

" Powerblocks can replace up to 37 pairs of dumbbells or over 4000 lbs of

free weights while taking up just 18 " x 22 " of space in your home or

office. "

The founder of Planet Muscle Magazine has raved about them for years:

http://www.planetmuscle.com/

He is a bodybuilder but we will forgive him for that indiscretion <g>
