4 sets of 5.

more work, higher percentage of 1RM etc.

nice ^^

Kind of lol'n at the idea of "strength" and "power" for bodyweight exercises being so low, yet, progressing considerably on bodyweight exercises may actually transfer more to "general athleticism" than barbell training etc. ie, improving pullups, dips, pistols etc, might improve "general athleticism" more than BB/DB exercises. However, specific BB exercises (squat/bench/dl) aimed at improving "specific athleticism" (vert, acceleration) etc, would be more effective.

I'd have to look up the reference, but at first glance it's misleading because: what is "strength" and "power"? ie, how are they measuring it? Obviously getting better at BW exercises isn't going to improve your bench/squat very much -> it may improve it a little - as opposed to doing absolutely nothing. But, getting better at those exercises may improve your running, sprinting, jumping, etc. The "postural strength" improvements from BW exercises is pretty major IMHO. Also, the fact that they are less intense on the CNS is also a good thing: can improve strength while minimizing CNS drain/fatigue, allowing you to stay fresher for more sport-specific workouts.

Also fu*k .. imagine if I had gotten to being able to rep out PMGHR's.. i'd be such a monster. Can't tell me that's a "1 star" strength exercise, that's for sure :D

overall the chart makes sense tho.

2cents.

pc!

A nice article on increasing power development/ rate of force development for power athletes using ballistic style training, but a lot of training methods have some connection with methods.
