Flex-Pause Training Book - Now available at Amazon and Google Books

Flex-Pause Training book now available Amazon  Kindle and paperback Google Books  Ebook Google Play Audiobook  AI-narrated Build the Athletic Physique That Lasts - Without Letting Training Take Over Your Life Most training programs assume you have time, energy and perfect consistency. Real life doesn’t work that way. Work, family, stress and injuries make it difficult to follow rigid workout routines. When training becomes hard to maintain, progress stalls and eventually stops. Flex-Pause Training is a simple, time-efficient system designed for real life. This system combines rest-pause principles with simple programming to deliver effective workouts in a fraction of the time. No complicated routines. No strict schedules. No wasted effort. Instead of chasing optimal plans that demand more time than you can give, this method focuses on what actually works long term: • Minimal effective training volume • Flexible scheduling • Joint-friendly exercise selection • Sustainable...

Mobile view for Google Sheets and feature creep

As usual a minor update grows to be a bigger update. Since I’m updating the sheets I thought that with some small extra work I could make some great improvements to the user interface and features.

Mobile view works with the dark theme also so you won't burn your eyes

So I decided to make a full Mobile layout for the sheets that allows me to edit the programs easily on my phone. Also the planned 1RM tracker changed to be able to track 1RM, 3RM, 5RM, 8RM etc. which would be more useful information since most of us don’t ever test our 1RM weight. But something like a 3-8RM range would be useful for strength testing.

Tracking from 1RM to 20RM available

Don’t worry I will also include a “desktop” version of the sheets, but all the programs will probably be in the mobile version only. Desktop template users have to use “copy & paste values” for pre-made programs.

Weekly total rep tracking also available if the exercise uses fixed resistance

Now I’m doing some testing for the template to see if anything is broken. I still need to finish some features I added to the demo for the final version. Looks good so far!

Push-Ups compared to bench press - with calculator

  Push-ups compared to bench press Have you ever wondered how you would compare the different types of push-ups to a barbell press? Well I did but couldn’t find a good push-up to bench press calculator. So I did some research online, made my own calculator based on the actual load and verified the results. Of course direct comparison is not possible because the two exercises are completely different but we can compare the loading parameters between barbell press and push-ups. So a fair warning if you can bench press 1.5x bodyweight you are not able to do one arm push-ups or the other way around. It just doesn’t work that way. But if you currently can do one arm push-ups with good form you could probably reach the 1.5x bodyweight bench 1RM relatively fast by practising the actual lift. In the following we will look at: Strength standards - how much you should actually press to be intermediate or advanced 1RM vs 6-10RM for bodyweight exercises Push-up variations and actual load Top a...

Free bodyweight strength training programs on Google Sheets - 2.0 Update

 I've been using different training apps for years now but they all have had some features that I didn't quite like. So I decided to make a better google sheets file that had most of the features I needed. I made this for myself originally but I thought that with some extra work it could be a useful template for anyone who is looking on how to build strength with bodyweight training. So this is aimed for beginners and intermediates who are looking on how to begin and progress with their bodyweight strenght training. Since all the exercises are categorized, videos on the exercises are included and guides to each progression is available making progress could not be easier! ;) 2.0 Mobile view What it includes: Pre made bodyweight strength training programs based on 1-4x week Fullbody, Upper/lower and bodypart splits Customizable workout template with up to 4 work out days a week One finger logging with mobile phone Guides included to each progression Video links included to each ...

Pistol squat compared to barbell squat - with calculator

 When you don’t have access to a squat rack and weights what would be the best way to train your legs? This is a tough question that no one seems to have a clear answer. In this article I’m going to teach you different bodyweight and weighted single leg exercises and find out how the loading parameters compare to the regular back squat. A while ago I wrote an extensive article “Guide to single leg training”. Link here: https://twoworkouts.blogspot.com/2020/08/guide-to-bodyweight-and-weighted-single.html It was a bit too long and detailed so I thought I would rephrase it and also write a guide to all the single leg squat progression. Single leg squats compared to back squat There are two ways to estimate the load being lifted for the single leg squats. Simple method to estimate the equal back squat load is to estimate that the whole bodyweight is lifted and not take into account rotating forces. A more accurate way to calculate the actual load takes rotating forces into account and ...
