Have you ever watched someone perform a bodyweight exercise and gasped in awe at their level of skill? I’ll be the first to confess that I have been amazed more than once at the body’s ability to maneuver effortlessly and the strength it takes to accomplish it.
My amazement has only fueled my own desire to be able to attain the same distinction of greatness. So, I decided that I needed to create my own bodyweight exercise bucket list.
That’s right!
The only way to take a dream and make it a reality is to create a game plan.
Creating your bodyweight bucket list is not difficult. Keep your list realistic. Make a list of the bodyweight exercises you want to complete and include a date of when you want to master it. To keep yourself from getting frustrated keep track of your progress. Charting your growth is a great preventive from giving up.
To write down what exercises and when I want to accomplish my bodyweight goals is only half the challenge. The other half is finding really good teachers or tutorials.
Below I have listed what I believe are to be the 9 Best Bodyweight exercises and the tutorials that explain these exercises in a very clear and concise way. I have also provided a progression section. In order to master anything great it almost always takes tackling smaller goals along the way.
The Planche
The Planche
Description:
The planche is a super cool but strenuous bodyweight exercise that few have mastered. Basically, your body will be held up using just your hands and your lower body will be extended behind you. All of your weight will be supported by your arms and shoulders so make sure to build up good shoulder strength.

Technique Tips:
-Keep your arms straight and a hollow body in your torso.
-To get stronger you can do push ups in a tucked planche.
-If you struggle to get your hips up practice the normal push up with your body shifted forward. This will strengthen your deltoids.
-Hand placement can be forward, side or backward. The important aspect is that your elbows are straight.
