What Equipment Should You Use?
Written by Wiggy on August 26, 2010 – 1:41 pm -One of the questions I get a lot about Body Armor (and honestly, about my other programs as well), is exactly what equipment is needed to do the workouts.
I almost find this question funny now, as just a few years ago, this question would almost be along the lines of being stupid.
You see, a few years ago, all most people really had to do their muscle building workouts with was normal, plain old gym equipment. You know – the stuff that was in their local commercial gym, YMCA, or even the college weight room.
But, since then, a lot of other types of training equipment have become very popular – kettlebells, tractor tires, sledge hammers, and the like.
Then, with the advent of warehouse gyms and the popularity of certain types of fitness programs, you then saw more ‘specialty’ stuff being used – glute-ham benches, bumper plates, reverse hypers, prowlers and sleds, etc.
Now, all this is pretty cool stuff, and can mean absolute kick ass things for your training. (You long-time readers will remember that I wrote one of the first sandbag-based training books on the market back in ’03 – “Singles & Doubles – still available at workingclassfitness.com)
However, it’s caused a problem. So many trainers use this type of stuff (though I think it’s more of a ploy to try and differentiate themselves as being ‘different’ or ‘cool’ than anything), that unless you’ve got access to all this kinda stuff, it’s almost impossible to do many of the workouts on the market today.
That’s why Body Armor is different.
All you need is basic stuff you’d find in any gym, or even a decently equipped home-gym – rack, bench, bar, plates, DBs, chin/pullup bar, etc. Simple stuff.
Body Armor can be done in pretty much any kind of gym or weight room.
Now, can you use all the other ‘cool’ stuff out there in Body Armor? Sure you can. But, by no means is it necessary.
=>Do the muscle building workouts that can be done in *any* gym – Body Armor.
