Just an update on my progression. I plan on making a vid sometime next week of my workout now that I've got my workout schedule from now til the end of October set; also possibly a bboy vid if I decide to go to the jam this weekend and don't suck (haven't practiced in forever).
But anyway...
Of course, the king of quad exercises would be squats. Whether you do them weighted or single leg (without weight) is up to you and based on where you stand right now with your quad strength. If you've already got substantial quad strength give single leg a try. If not, keep building up your...
Very nice. I'll have to check back there regularly to add to my regimen. gymnasticbodies.com also has a workout of the day section on their forum. Much of their stuff is gym based stuff though, so I will likely be using their Monday and Tuesday workouts (my crew goes to a local gymnastics gym...
Also, Glute Ham Raises are an extremely good hamstring exercise. Much better than regular weighted hamstring curls to be honest. Can't believe I left them out. Here's a link for how to do them:

One legged squats aka Pistol Squats are a great leg exercise. They can then be progressed into pistol squat jumps to make them more explosive.
Everyone knows about calf raises, but also bent knee calf raises and toe squats (not to be done with weight as it puts stress on the knees) help to...
niiiice on that workout vid. I'm assuming you've probably watched some of the Barbarian vids if you seen that. The Barbarian Top 10 moves every year never ceases to impress me. Sadly I'll probably never meet the barbarian requirements because I've got rotator cuff problems galore that don't...
Rings are much more affordable, but another thing I've been looking into is the Universal Strength Appliance. Looks to have endless workout possibilities. I've also considered adding hang cleans and jerks to my routine to help with my explosiveness. Imo two of the most useful core lifts for...
Pending the OK from my program director, I think I'm going to do my graduate research on the correlation between body weight training exercise strength and their weight training exercise counterparts (i.e.- how does the number of pushups and someone's body weight correlate to bench press maxes...
Ideally though you want to keep the legs locked out and straight at the knee. I'll have to look through some of those bodyrock workouts. That chick is chiseled.
First of all, how's your front plank?
But I would probably start with side crunches and bicycle crunches to establish some base oblique strength. Then progress to side plank with feet on the ground, forearm on an elevated surface, then once that gets easier, go down to side plank on the...
bodyweightculture.com has a great buildup for beginners called the 20 level challenge. It's far from perfect, and it isn't a set workout regimen so you've got to construct your own sets and reps, but it gives you benchmarks to hit before progressing so you don't go straight from nothing to way...
You see a gazillion threads on every non-fitness based forum about Weight Training routines, arguments about what constitutes good cardio and what doesn't, Bench Press maxes, etc.
It's time we get a thread dedicated strictly to body weight exercise routines. (Not that those of you who use...

It can be worn any time, but more commonly it's prescribed for use at night since it is restrictive to movement and might make some regular daily activities harder than they need to be.
I forgot to add that another important time for you to stretch is when you first wake up in the morning...
NikeAir5 is pretty right on with his assessment. Sounds like you had some pretty good doctors/ therapists/ AT's in the past.
But no you can't re-tear a fully torn ACL. You can tear a partially torn one the rest of the way, and with a torn ACL you run a very high risk for tearing any and...
Glad you posted that. There is also a night splint for plantar fascitis that you can get for $11:

To be honest, me and every other Thunder fan had our fingers crossed to land Nene' around trade deadline time. But with what Perk's done to the atmosphere of this team, I can't argue with Sam Presti at all. I think it's pretty funny though, all the hype around this series as being a potential...
