Thanksgiving Day Bodyweight Workout

Well it's Thanksgiving Day.  Might as well just kick back on the couch and eat a ton of food, drink a ton of beer, hang out with the family and watch football...

Fuck that!  There is plenty of time in the day to spend time with the family enjoying the holidays and still get huge!  Since the gym is closed and the ankle is still healing I figured today would be a perfect day to get in a quick bodyweight workout with my brother.  I have an awesome pair of gymnastics rings hanging from a pull up bar in my bedroom doorway that kick my ass every single time I get on them.  Here's the 30 minute workout we cranked about an hour before dinner.

Ring Dips

Band Pull-Aparts

2x20 

Superset #1

Ring Pushups--25, 20, 15, 10, 5

Pull Ups (Mixed Grip)--15, 12, 9, 6, 3

Superset #2--3 Rounds

Ring Face Pulls--12

Ring Dips w/ L Sit--6

Short, sweet, and killed us!  I'll be the first one to say you need to lift heavy weight, but relative bodyweight strength is just as important and can help build up strength in other lifts, athleticism, and provide incredible variety to your workouts.  There was not a single muscle in the upper body and abdominal musculature that wasn't cranked here.  By the end, I was struggling to finish and had an incredible pump going.  I tell people all the time, if you want to get a great "pump" and you want to build powerful arms and muscle in the entire upper body...TRAIN WITH BODYWEIGHT MOVEMENTS.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone.  Time to go eat my body weight in turkey, potatoes, veggies, and pie!
