Yes You Can Get Ripped with Pull ups and Push ups
Back when I was playing college baseball and going to the gym every day, I thought that I would be able to build my chest and back a lot more than I actually did. I figured that by going to the gym every day, I would at least see some improvement each week in these muscle groups, but it seemed that I fell into a plateau and could never really get beyond it. That was until I discovered a basic boot camp style program that incorporates many push-ups and pull-ups to develop the chest and back. These traditional exercises are what helped me get a ton of definition in my chest and back, something I have never experienced!
First, though, I have to go back in time to when I was playing college baseball. I was one of those guys who went to the gym every day, and relied solely on bench press exercises and machines to build the chest and back muscles. However, after a while I noticed that I hit a plateau, and couldn't get any more definition in my chest or back, but I was stubborn and continued to do the same old routine. It wasn't until I graduated college and got a desk job when I realized that I really wanted to find something that would get me into the best shape possible and get me ripped. That was when I started a basic boot camp a program that relies mostly on push-ups and pull-ups to develop the chest and back muscle groups. However, before I began the program I was a skeptic. How in the world could it be possible to get a ripped chest and back from push-ups or pull-ups? I mean, you're kidding right? Nope.
I was one of those guys who would maybe do 1 set of pull-ups every two months. So what did I do to develop my back? Well, I would do lawn mowers, but never really got anything out of them because I wasn't trained properly on how to use correct form. I would also use the lat-pull-down machine, but that only got me so far. Really, I have never had definition in my back until I changed my approach to back development.
Like I mentioned above, the boot camp program I use now relies mostly on pull-ups to develop the back. There are some pull-up exercises that were familiar to me, but there were many that were very unique. As much as I hated doing them, I knew that if I followed the program like it's set up that I would get results, so of course I made sure I completed all the exercises. The first week was tough, and I could only do about 4 to 5 pull-ups for each set, but as each week passed by, I noticed my rep count increased! When I reached day 90, I was able to do 15-20 pull-ups for each exercise!
Half of the first workout, called Chest ... Back, was nothing but pull-ups, but the other half was grueling push-ups. I never realized how tough push-ups could be until I had to do this workout. When I reached the half-way mark through the push-ups, I had nothing left. I was completely worn out! My arms were shaky, and I was only able to do a total of 2-3 push-ups for each exercise thereafter. I remember being so sore the next day that it hurt to move my arms! That was the worst soreness that I have ever experienced, and it was at that point that I knew I was going to reach my goal of a ripped chest. By the end of my 90 days, my chest was more developed than it ever was before!
Please join me in getting into the best shape of your life. I'm a big believer in a traditional pull up and push up program. Also I'm looking to try out a new super high boot camp program and will report on that once I get through it. - 17273
