The Creation of Workout Without Weights

The Bodyweight Calisthenics Workout Progression System

By Coach Eddie Lomax

Life takes some strange turns sometimes. I guess that's what makes it so exciting! Sometimes the challenges crush you, and sometimes it brings out the best you have to offer.

Without going into all the boring details, let me tell you what inspired me to write Workout Without Weights.

Here is the scene:

I'm an American living in Chile with my wife. We are living here to help her family with her father who suffered a devastating stroke. Two of my businesses have failed and all the money I saved is gone. And to top it off, I'm fat and out of shape!

So, I decided to put my extensive fitness knowledge to use and get my life together. But in a strange country, with no money and no equipment, my options were limited.

But my determination to better my physique was strong, and I decided to use the only piece of equipment at my disposal. MY BODY!

The results were spectacular. Not only did I lose the unwanted pounds of fat, but I build strong, lean muscle as well. But, the biggest change was a boost in confidence and an improved outlook on life. So, I decided to put into writing all the exercises and methods I used to turn my life around. And thus, Workout Without Weights was born!

So, if you are unhappy with your body (and maybe your place in life), stop hiding behind excuses like "no time", "no money" and "no equipment". Make a decision to improve your physique (and maybe your life), and get the PLAN that gets results!

The True VALUE Of Workout Without Weights 

The Step-by-Step PLAN For The Gym You Were Born With!

Workout Without Weights

Everyone knows they should exercise. No serious person believes laying on the couch with the remote in hand is better for you than a well planned and executed exercise program. However, people do differ in opinion as to what TYPE of exercise is best.

So, let me make my position clear.

Assuming you are performing the exercise program safely, the best exercise program IS THE ONE YOU DO WITH PROGRESSION, CONSISTENCY AND DETERMINATION. Forget about the weights vs. bodyweight calisthenics or aerobic vs. anaerobic debates. Any type of exercise program yields excellent RESULTS if it is done progressively, on a regular basis and you make a determined effort.

And yes, that means you can build the body of your dreams only using bodyweight calisthenics if you wish!

Workout Without Weights is more than a bunch of exercises and workouts. It is a step-by-step plan, that when followed, consistently produces results you can see, feel and use in the real world.

The TRUE VALUE of Workout Without Weights is THE PLAN! So, follow the plan, and get results. Simple as that!

Having a plan is what most people are missing. It is why most people fail to reach their fitness, fat loss and physique goals. But when you follow a PLAN proven time and again to produce results, your workouts have meaning. As a matter of fact, you're not just working out, YOU'RE TRAINING!

But the Workout Without Weights PLAN is even more powerful…

I could have just written down some workouts and had you follow them. But I felt this approach would not bring about the greatest results for the widest group of people. Therefore, I developed a plan that changes according to your goals, needs, limitations and abilities.

You pick the exercises

You progress at your own pace

You create the workout program best for you

And you get results fast!

Best of all, the Workout Journal Sheets I provide in the immediately downloadable Workout Without Weights eBook are printable. So you can use them over and again. Literally, you can use this bodyweight calisthenics plan FOR A LIFETIME of effective, progressive workouts! Now, that's value!

Think of Workout Without Weights as the owner's manual for an active body.

Workout Without Weights Throughout History 

Workout Without Weights Has Been Proven Time & Again To Get Results!

Have any real people successfully built rock hard bodies with bodyweight calisthenics?

Of course!

Here are some of my favorites:

The Great Gama

Great GamaThe Great Gama, also known as the Lion of the Punjab, died in Pakistan in 1953, and is still remembered as one of the greatest wrestling champions of all times. He first became known at the age of 10 when he participated in a national physical exercise competition. This was not a wrestling competition, but rather and exercise endurance competition.

Over 400 wrestlers from all over India gathered for a competition of bethaks, the fundamental conditioning exercise of Indian wrestlers. Bethaks are a form of bodyweight squat where the practitioner raises their heels off the ground in the bottom of the squat, allowing the knees to extend past the toes.

After hours of competition, all wrestlers except Gama retired from the field and he was declared winner. No one knows for sure how many bethaks he performed, but he was bed ridden for a week. This shows not only the physical strength of Gama, but also the mental toughness needed to be a great champion.

At that time, Gama would routinely do 500 bethaks, 500 dands (a type of push up exercise for upper body strength) and dig in a pit with a heavy hoe.

George Hackenschmidt 

George HackenschmidtGeorge Hackenschmidt was a strongman, professional wrestler and author from the late 1800's and early 1900's.

According to Hackenschmidt, developing great strength was dependant on lifting heavy weights, but the exerciser "should of course combine these exercises with skipping, running, jumping and gymnastics of every description in order to similarly develop his activity and agility." As a matter of fact, he dedicates an entire chapter to working out without weights where dumbbells and barbells are not used... entitled Exercises Without Weights. 

While he contends exercising with weights is needed for great strength... he also contends working out without weights "if done conscientiously, develop a fair average physique, as well as a sound, all-round physical fitness - in other words, a sound and healthy constitution." 

Furthermore, Hackenschmidt acknowledges since not everyone can "safely enter straight away on a course of weight-lifting exercises, and of exercises with weights, he will be well advised if he devotes at least two or three weeks to these exercises without weights, and further to include a fair selection of them in his programme of daily exercise with weights." 

In other words, working out without weights is the logical starting point for a fitness program... as well as an integral part of a fitness program including other methods of training, like dumbbells and barbells.

I couldn't agree more!

Now I am back on track with working out regularly and the energy keeps coming to settle in the moving boxes!"

"I've finally found an exercise program that WORKS!"

"Thank you just doesn't seem to say enough.  You're a genius!"


Unsolicited Feedback


"Dear Coach Lomax, I purchased your product in early February of this year. My wife started a diet last Thanksgiving and has lost 35-40 pounds since then. I "tagged along" (started at 6'3", 215 lbs) with her and lost about 10 pounds by the time I purchased your program.

Since then I've lost an additional 5 pounds (I now hover in the 199-202 range) but more importantly I've gone from a 36 inch waist to a 34. Also, co-workers and people at church have made many comments about how much trimmer I look.

Your program is doing what many years of weight lifting was supposed to do for me and didn't, namely rearranging my body. I look forward to trimming down even more!

The money I spent on your program has by far given me the "best bang for the buck" of any fitness program or equipment in my 53 years."

You Don't Have To Go Far To See The Results Of A Workout Without Weights 

There is living proof around you every day, if you know where to look!

Some people are under the impression you can't build a strong, lean, muscular physique with bodyweight calisthenics. They say you MUST use weights or join a gym.

Well, most of them couldn't do a pull up if their life depended on it. They do Lat Pull Downs instead. Why? Because they are easier!

They are the same ones that grunt and groan doing bench presses, but lack the strength to do 10 push ups straight with good form!

Make no mistake about it, you can build the body of your dreams with bodyweight calisthenics. Here are some real world examples to prove it:

The Military

Have you ever seen someone go away to boot camp only to come back months later a completely changed person... usually leaner and more muscular! This physique transformation occurred predominantly due to bodyweight calisthenics exercises.

The Military for centuries has relied on bodyweight calisthenics to keep its soldiers in tip top shape. The versatility of bodyweight calisthenics make them perfect to get recruits in shape, and keep them in shape no matter where they are.

Plus, the Military must use proven methods to build better soldiers, because their lives depend on it!

Workout Without Weights Works!

Olympic Gymnasts

Ever watch Olympic Gymnastics on TV? What's the first thing you notice? What I notice is the lean, strong, muscular bodies of the gymnasts.

These guys have bodies most gym rats who spend hours slinging weights around would be proud to have. But they also have bodies that are functionally strong. They have excellent control over their bodies and exhibit strength, power, coordination, balance, flexibility and agility.

And here is the most important part:

They built those bodies predominantly with their own bodyweight!

Now that is what I call a testament to the power and effectiveness of bodyweight calisthenics exercise!

A Little About Coach Eddie Lomax, Author of Workout Without Weights 

Find out why I am quickly being known as "The Coach With The Plan"

Coach Eddie Lomax Hey Coach Eddie Lomax here!

I just wanted to talk a little bit about something I see happening every day in the fitness industry. It is a MISTAKE I see most people making! Fixing this problem can drastically improve the results you get from your fitness training. Plus, it reveals a lot about me!

Here it is:

-There is a big difference between working out and training!

-Real results come from training, not working out.

-Most people are working out!

Now I know it might seem like I'm nit-picking, but this is a HUGE SECRET FOR FITNESS SUCCESS!

Listen, there are workouts all over the place. Just look on the Internet and you will find literally millions of different workouts. So, why are people having so much trouble meeting their fitness, fat loss and physique goals?

Because workouts don't work!

The workout you perform on any given day never produces overnight results. There are no magic workouts out there. However, if you string a group of effective workouts together into a TRAINING PROGRAM, and train consistently, you will succeed!

Just so we're clear,

One Workout Done Ad Nausea = Nothing

Workout 1, Workout 2, Workout 3, etc. Organized Into A Training Program = SUCCESS!

My million dollar advice is: stop working out, and start training!

Step 1: Figure out what you want

What is the number one RESULT you want to gain from all your hard work? Is it general fitness? Fat loss? Muscle gain? Once you figure this out, look for a TRAINING PROGRAM (not workout), that produces this result!

Step 2: Figure out why you want it

The "why" is very important. This is your driving motivation for training. After all, TRAINING PROGRAMS are hard, and you need to have a clear motivation to guarantee you will do what it takes to complete the training program.

Step 3: Figure out what you're willing to do

This ultimately decides whether you are going to do what it takes to succeed. It guides your choice of training programs. HINT: Look for a training program that gets results AND you will do!

When you look at my fitness products, you find TRAINING PROGRAMS. They are step-by-step. They progress towards a goal. And, when followed, they get results! I give people what they need to succeed, not just a workout!

So, if you want to build a strong, lean, muscular body without expensive equipment or costly gym memberships, here's a TRAINING PROGRAM for you:

Are You Ready For The Tabata Calisthenics Workout? 

This Workout Without Weights Is Quick But Tough!

Tabata Calisthenics WorkoutA few years ago I created a Tabata Calisthenics Workout Without Weights that I gave away as a free Mini Course. It was a smashing success! A total of over 1000 people took the course, and then I took it down.

Why?

Well, I realized most people were not getting the most out the course because they were not fit enough. Yes, just three exercises in the Tabata format (20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest for a total of 8 times), proved to be quite the challenge.

Therefore, I urged people to use Workout Without Weights to build strength, burn fat and improve heart and lung power BEFORE attempting the Tabata Calisthenics Workout. Most people found going through the progressive workouts proved to be much more beneficial than the Tabata Calisthenics Workout.

Why am I telling you all this?
