power calisthenics 2 x electric boogaloo

Found a full body split works great with this template, but as an added bonus splitting movements into planes per day.


Who does this workout work for?

  • Goal is to train for general strength and hypertrophy (not maximal in either respect).
  • Mobility and joint health.
  • Enjoy working the same muscle groups with a high frequency.


What equipment is needed?

  • Any type of suspension trainer would be great (rings, trx knockoffs, homemade trainers).
  • Pullup bar. This can be nixed if you have a suspension trainer that hangs high enough.
  • Dip bar.
  • Cinder blocks and a chair. Use cement to anchor the chair when doing jump bulgarian split squats.


What happens when I can do too many reps on the hardest variation? I don't want to train for endurance!

Hey! This is a great problem to have! If you get to the point where you are knocking out 15-20 rep sets on the hardest bodyweight variation of an exercise, then you have a few options:

  • Add weight to the current exercise (conversely, add a 5lb vest and do the same workout).
  • Decrease the stability of the current exercise.
  • Add a new (harder) variation before the one you have mastered.
