Man, I should have – maybe, but I ain’t been working Hindu pushups and bridging in a while – though squats of every nature, I’ve been hitting them hard as ever.

Despite doing plenty of other pushup workouts as you can tell, for some reason I skipped the Hindus – not sure why.

For a few months, at least – aint got nothing to do with shoulder injuries, not being able to do ’em, nothing like that – I just didnt do ’em.

Lots of folks have this – very – erroneous idea that if they dont train a particular exercise that theyve trained hard in the past for a while, while they focus on another overall body movement (in my case certain types of pushups, pull-ups and CLUBS – and squats) – then they’ll lose progress on the other exercises.

Maybe if you NEVER visit those exercises.

But even then, if you’ve done them at a high level before, chances are taking time off for a couple of months for whatever reason, even if its to focus on other movements, provided those are “whole body” workouts – wont really hurt you.

I was AMAZED at how easily I slipped into the bridge today for instance, I did NOT think I could do ’em that easily after a break – especially touching the lips to the floor – or mattress in my case.

I honestly did not, therefore, the video, completely extempore (most of mine are anyway, but this one more so).

Ditto for the front bridge.

Ditto for the Hindu pushups I did – I didnt think I’d do them in sets of 20 with clubs since I have not done them in a while, but it felt like I could rock out 40, no problem … (I didnt in that workout since clubs are an important part of it too to get to 100 reps) …

Just goes to show you, this notion of losing progress isn’t really accurate so long as you train your other movements hard, and they work the entire body as a whole – as bridging does.

Its an excellent exercise, an entire hour long video on it in the equally excellent and superlative 0 Excuses Fitness System where I teach YOU how to go from “stiffie” (no pun) to “yogi” levels at this great workout.

You’ll want to watch that video, and the other great ones in that system very closely!

Off for now.

Back soon.

Best,
