Body Leverage modifies basic strength training exercises to increase or decrease resistance without machines or free weights.
Simple progressions of body weight exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and squats can induce supercompensation through years and even decades of training. It can thereby exceed the vast majority of fitness goals, including muscle maintenance and growth, agility, power, and even elite athletic performance.
What about the barbell, you might ask? Very heavy lifts certainly play a role in advanced routines, but neuromuscular fatigue is the smart target for progression in most fitness pursuits. Free weights are just one of many possible paths to take!
Suspension training devices like TRX, gymnastics rings, or the “DIY” Strength Training Rig have made Body Leverage exercises more accessible than ever.
Advantages of Body Leverage Training:
- Accessible to everyone, everywhere: minimal to no equipment needed
- Functional, conferring real-world strength, balance, flexibility and stability
- Adaptable to challenge any fitness level
