Bodyweight work, preferably a mix of calisthenics and isometrics, sends a signal to the body that no other protocols seem to.
You finish your high effort yet short session and you crave…not food, not milk or juice but water, simply water. But first you want to and do relax for a short while, catch your breath, and think.
Physical meditation.
As far as physical properties the body is getting a signal to get stronger, but more powerfully it is receiving the signal DEMANDING that it get more athletic.
It’s the work like this that gets me lean and mean, WHILE getting stronger and seeing my all around athletic ability vastly improve.
Calisthenics of all speeds and ranges of motion, mixed with some basic isometric work.
I do these sessions inside, generally at night, away from prying eyes of the sleeping and lazy.
Just a wall, the floor, a doorway, and me.
It’s my purest work.
