When we first created this program, it was a long process of research, trial-and-error, and dedication. That’s
because we were putting something together we really hoped our supporters would see it as a helpful tool in
their fitness journey.
However, we never anticipated it would become so instrumental in so many people’s lives. It’s really been
amazing to witness and be a part of.
“It was your 3 month bodyweight workout … that taught me how to exercise. That content changed my
life.” -User testimonial for 3-Month Program
If you’ve been looking for a program that is going to push you to the limit… break you down and build you
back up stronger than you ever thought you could be… this is it.
That’s because this program is designed to be about as intense as it gets. It borrows from Navy SEAL-type
training tactics, while staying true to calisthenics. Throughout the entire three months, you’ll never need to
pick up a single dumbbell.
Now let’s talk about what to look forward to with this program, the proper warm ups and cool downs for the
workouts, and outline each level simply and thoroughly, so that you’re ready to rock and start a new fitness
journey!
In a moment, you’re also going to hear more about a critical, albeit unusual, portion of the workout schedule
called “Active Rest.” This is going to be an entire week where you ease off the gas pedal, so to speak. In
fact, some people choose not to do any of the program’s exercises all week. More on that in a moment.
This program is all about YOU. You’ll be keeping track of how well you do each day, and trying to improve
upon that every day after. I like to say with fitness, the only person you’re competing against is the person
you were the day before. That’s certainly true with this program.
How To Warm Up for the Workouts
This program consists of one extreme workout after another, so warming up properly is crucial.
Warming up properly prior to the workouts is going to help you perform better during the workouts and thus
get better results in the long run.
Since the training program is heavily focused on training for maximum reps, your warm up should be
focused on helping you get more reps.
Remember, it’s absolutely crucial that you do the exercise with good form, so make sure to do your home
work. I’ve provided links to youtube videos where some exercises in this program are demonstrated.
Alternatively, you can join our Bodyweight Physique Academy for detailed instructions on how to do each
exercise.
You should do this warm up if you can’t perform more than 10 regular push ups.
Notes
You should do this warm up if you can perform more than 11 consecutive push ups. The only difference
with the beginner warm up is exercise C.
Notes
1. Intensity– This program delivers results VERY quickly. It will help give you the body of a Navy
SEAL- chiseled abs, ripped shoulders and a tight chest.
2. Variety– Since you are doing only one set per exercise, you will not get bored.
3. Results– This program utilizes both Angular Training (targeting the muscle from different angles)
and compound sets (fatiguing the muscle with no break in between).
Important Recommendation!
Many people enthusiastically jump into an exercise routine thinking that they will end up looking like Brad
Pitt after a few months. Sadly, this just doesn’t happen. I know because this was me for much of my life. I
worked out a ton and didn’t get the chiseled looks I was looking for. What you put into your mouth is just
as, if not MORE, important for developing a rock-hard body. I learned some important truths about this and
I recommend you check out this article I wrote before performing this training plan: 3 Simple Truths to
Getting A Rock-Hard Body. Knowledge is power. Equip yourself with the right tools to getting ripped and
it will happen much more quickly.
How do I do it?
The full 3 Month – Extreme Bodyweight Exercise Training Plan is outlined below. Follow the guide. Do
each exercise only once then immediately move onto the next exercise. Do NOT take any breaks (again,
drink water between sets as needed).
Month 1- What was I thinking! Month
This week is intense even though it is your first month. It is geared to give you results quickly so you will
stay through the program. Weeks 1-3 will be your active weeks and Week 4 will be an active recovery. This
means that you will NOT do any type of weight training or bodyweight exercises. Use this week to job, play
tennis, swim, or any other activity you like to do. This is important! Don’t break this rule. Your exercise
sessions will be 3 X Per Week. For example: Mon/Wed/Fri or Tues/Thurs/Sat. Once you are done with
Month 1, move on to Month 2.

By cooling down properly, you will be able to recover faster and perform better during the next workout. In
addition to that, faster and full recovery means more gains as well.
Keep in mind that the cool down samples below aren’t written in stone and you can easily modify them (and
you should) in case a certain muscle group needs more attention than the other ones.
I am going to share with you two cool down samples. One with stretching and one with foam rolling
exercises, but if you like to, you can combine both of these recovery methods.

The quick answer is that yes, you can certainly do that. However, I would recommend that you test out the
first two weeks of the program before doing that. Then, if you still think that you can handle more training
days, feel free to do so.
If adding more training days doesn’t seem to make this program hard for you, I would suggest you check
you some more advanced programs here:
Bodyweight Workouts
Or here:
If you are still a beginner, adding more extreme workouts will probably not be an option for you.
However, there are still some actions you could take during the non-training days to improve your
performance.
The best thing you could do to recover faster (other than adequate sleep and good nutrition) is to perform
recovery sessions at every non-training day. If you have enough available time, you can practice recover
sessions during the training days as well.
A recovery session is when you set aside 30-60 minutes and practice recovery drills for you whole body.
Recovery drills include:
Stretching exercises
Foam rolling exercises
Mobility exercises
If you are training for skills that aren’t that taxing to the body (like handstand work), you can practice them
every day of the week without having any problems with your performance.
If you are training for more advanced skills, like acrobatic aerials, then you could still train with them
during the non-training days, but you should be aware of your progress. If you aren’t progressing as fast as
you would like (in either the program or the skills), you could back off a little on the one you consider less
important.
What To Do During The Active Rest Periods
Every 4th week of the 3-month program is going to be a deload week.
During this week, you are still going to train but with less intensity than the regular training weeks. The
reason we need this week is your muscles have been working extremely hard for three weeks straight, and
they needs some recovery time. Over the years, I’ve gotten inquiries from people asking if they can just skip
the Active Rest period because they’re so worried they’ll lose all their progress. I can promise you that’s not
going to happen. In fact, the only thing that will happen if you don’t use the Active Rest period is that you
will actually stall your progress, since your body won’t be getting the recovery time it’s craving (if you were
not aware, muscles actually grow when they’re resting, not when they’re working).
Here are somethings you could do to drop the intensity for the week:
#1 A Favorite Hobby
If you’ve got another activity you’re really passionate about, but just haven’t had any energy to do it
because of the intensity of the previous weeks, this is the perfect time to do that.
This could be pretty much anything that keeps you moving: hiking, playing tennis, walking your dog, etc.
The most important thing is that you keep moving. So no, unfortunately sitting on the couch and watching
TV won’t count. Get out there and have some fun!
I should mention, this is actually the preferred method for the Active Rest period. Below, I lay out some
options for continuing the workouts in a less intense variation, but if you can do something outside of the
workouts that keeps you moving, do that.
Keep practicing with the regular workouts, but instead of going to failure for each exercise, perform only
50-70% of the max reps you did during the last workout.
So, if you managed to do 30 dolphin push ups the last time you training, now do 15-20.
With this option, you are going to set aside one day during the week and test out your progress.
The best day is usually the one in the middle of your training week.
There are various things that you could test. The test that I like to perform the most is the bodyweight
gauntlet.
Notes
Rest 60 seconds between exercises
The bodyweight gantlet will help you see if you got any better at the basic calisthenics moves.
Since the program doesn’t have any pulling exercises, you can skip the pull up part if you want to.
The whole purpose of the deload week is to help you recover. As such, you should consider doing lots of
recovery sessions during this week.
If you successfully complete this training program, there are lots of things you can do. Here are two of your
options:
If you have gotten great results from this program, I would suggest you go through it once more.
Of course, the program isn’t going to seem as intense as the first time and so you can add more training days
if you like to.
If you have gotten great results from this program, but you think that a second time won’t be as effective,
you should check out Bodyweight Workouts and choose to follow a more advanced training program.
