Home bodyweight conditioning

So Im in a difficult place now. I have sw/mma/boxing training 4 times a week and I need help with supplementary training regime. I need more stamina for wrestling. Running is out of question because of weather (-30c!, snow and ice everywhere).

I made this schedule and would like your input. Only equipment is pullup bar.

Round 1
Pullup
Dips
Hanging leg rises
Overhead squat with something heavy

Break = 30s shadowboxing

Round 2
Chinup
Judo pushup
Situps
Overhead squat with something heavy

Break = 30s shadowboxing

Round 3
Pullup
?? Somekind of pushup?
"I dont know the name of this movement, but you lie on your back and move your legs from side to side)
Sprawls

Break = 30s shadowboxing

Round 4
Chinup
Pushup
Crunches
Squat

Break = 30s shadowboxing

So what do you think?

Dead Bug Twists? (scroll down a lot)


Routine's not bad for what you're working with. Get yourself a sandbag or three - you can knock one together for next to nothing. It's one of the best tools you can have. Same goes for dumbells, a sledgehammer, and a homemade medicine ball - all are very cheap, space efficient and versatile beyond belief.

BW-wise you might find some more ideas here...

Twice a week.

20s squats, 10s rest
20s judo pushups, 10s rest
20s pullups/chinups, 10s rest
20s situps, 10s rest

repeat everything.

If you're willing to spend a little bit of money, I would highly recommend the book "Never Gymless" by Ross Enamait. Has a lot of great exercises and variations on conventional ones, as well as workout routines for different levels of athletes.

You can scoop it up at: www.rosstraining.com

Pushups, dips, situps, pullups, hanging leg raises, diamonds, and bodyweight squats are all good. Because this is for wrestling, i'd suggest doing as many as possible, which may be upwards of 200 on all of them, except maybe the pullups and diamonds. And since you can't get out and run, I'd suggest getting a jump rope and using that until the weather gets warm enough. Its not a replacement for running, but its something to do while its cold as balls outside.

I have used some of the exercises out of matt furey's books combat abs and combat conditioning with some success. I also have had success playing the deck of card game using varying bodyweight exercises.

I'm in the same boat, being in Canada during the winter. Other than treadmills, which aren't really great for All Out Sprints, I've been using Burpees and the Magic 50 (rosstraining.com). These will keep your conditioning up, I can pretty much guaranty you that.

Chuck Lidells trainer has a pretty good workout for people like you and I. Nothing but a punching bag required.
