How to Get Six-Packs Abs without Doing Crunches
Assuming that your body fat is low enough, it takes very little abdominal work to get six-pack abs. I am absolutely convinced that most of the crunches and twists that you see people perform in the gym are a waste of time. I only do two exercises, and I believe that's all anyone needs. The first one is the plank, and the second is the stomach vacuum. The entire program totals eight minutes maximum, and you only need to do it every other day . Read more

Double Your Pull-ups in Six Weeks or Less
The pull-up is the king of upper body exercises. Being able to pull up one's own body weight is one of the most useful tests of functional strength. Elite military units, such as Navy SEALs and Air Force Special Tactics, want their members to be able to do at least 20 pull-ups. As a freshman in high school, I watched a classmate (a heavily muscled swimmer) do 47 during lunch recess. However, the overwhelming majority of men and women (Yes, women can do pull-ups.) can't even do 10. If you would like to dramatically improve your upper body strength, here is the program I used to double my pull-up totals in only five weeks. Read more

Coach Eddie Lomax's "Workout without Weights" Bodyweight Calisthenics Workout Progression System is a comprehensive, progressive plan to keep the improvements coming. It's a step-by step plan which allows you to systematically take your fitness, physique, and fat loss to new levels.

This is not a generic program that works for a while and then becomes useless. It's a progressive program that changes as your needs and wants change. This is what really sets this program apart: its progression system. Most bodyweight exercise programs just tell you to pile on more and more repetitions, but not "Workout without Weights." Coach Lomax also offers a free mini-course "5 Days To Successful Bodyweight Training" to help you decide if this type of training is for you. I highly recommend this program both for its unique progression system and its modest price.
