Wanna Get Ripped With a Bodyweight Workout? The Best Programs Come From Circular Strength Training

If you want to get ripped while working out at home with no equipment, then I suggest you check out Circular Strength Training (CST). CST is a system developed by Coach ScottSonnon, which focuses on movement and health instead of vanity. Despite this focus, Scott Sonnon himself is incredible ripped and athletic.

CST bodyweight exercises are derived from yoga, gymnastics, and dance. The reason I like CST exercises over more traditional exercises such aspushups, pullups, and bodyweight squats is because CST movements are more difficult and exciting. Let me show you a sample workout you can perform using CST movements:

Perform 8 rounds of:

Elevated Scorpion
Ground Frogger
Jump Squat
Perform each exercise for 50 minutes before moving to the next exercise. This workout should not take you more than 20 minutes.

Lets go over how to perform each of these movements:

Elevated Scorpion

Start off in pushup position. Lift your butt towards the sky until you're in an an upside down "V" position with your body. Your arms and legs should be straight. Now lift your right legstraight up into the air. With just a slight bend, move your right leg over to the left side. You will need to twist your body to the right in order to get a full range of motion. Twist as far as possible without lifting your hands off the floor. Return to starting position and repeat on the other side.

Ground Frogger

The ground frogger is very similar to a hindu pushup. Think of it as an explosive form of the hindu pushup. Start off in the bottom squat position. Place your hands on the floor in front of your body. Now move your shoulders towards the ground as if you were performing ahindu squat. Simultaneously, "spray" your legs apart. You do this by hopping up just slightly and extending your legs behind and slightly off to the sides. Push forward, just as in a regularhindu pushups. Drop your hips to the floor. You should be now in a cobra pose.

Explosively, return to starting position by forcefully bring your legs back and tucking your knees so that you are back into low squat position with hands on the ground.

Jump Squat

Perform a regular squat, then explode up into the air. Land back into squat position and repeat.
