Start Bodyweight

Free strength training programme based on a system of bodyweight progressions.

‘Start Bodyweight’ uses a simple and proven model of basic-sets strength training and progressive overload, and it emphasizes compound functional movements.

It targets all the main muscle groups and, thanks to its progressive incremental structure, it works equally well for newcomers to bodyweight training and intermediate practitioners alike...

The progressions are derived from standard gymnastics progressions which have been fine-tuned, and extensively tested.

The programme and its protocols have been used successfully from people from all walks of life, and have received constant praise throughout their development. The methods it follows are nothing new and they are based on sound, well-established scientific protocols which I have merely refined until the progressions have become as seamless, balanced, and incremental as can be.

The 'Start Bodyweight' programme requires a minimal amount of equipment, and can be easily followed at home, in a park or in a gym: with a little imagination, a tree branch, a bench, a staircase or a door can all be substituted to the equipment required. It is both simple and minimalist in its approach.
