Conclusion 68
!
!
!
This is the first exercise. It will work the front part of the shoulder along with
the most upper fibers of your pecs. If you’d like to make this extra difficult
you can place your feet on a chair or couch to elevate your lower body
even further. !
!
!
!
This exercise will also work the front part of the shoulders as well as the
upper portion of the chest. However, its a slightly different angle so it will
work different fibers.!
!
!
!
3. Low Decline Push-ups!
!
Lowering your feet a bit will switch the angle from super high on your chest
to a bit more mid range.!
!
!
Regular Push Ups will work mostly the middle part of the chest muscle
group. At this point, it is especially important to keep you back straight. !
!
!
!
5. Low Incline Push-ups!
!
Placing your hands on a chair or elevated surface will shift the focus to the
lower portion of your chest.!
This exercise will strengthen the lower fibers of the chest muscle group.!
!
7. Super High Incline Push-ups!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
Trust me when I say that after doing all the other exercises, this super high
push up will be challenging. The best part is that it will be working an even
lower portion of the pecs.!

Back Omni Set Exercises!
!
1. Behind the Neck Pull Ups!
!
There is some controversy over this exercise. A few people claim that it
isn’t the safest exercise for your neck. I have never had a problem with it
and I recommend that you experiment with it. The exercise displaces the
!
When doing Arching Pull Ups you’ll want to noticably arch your back. This
not only helps you perform the movement from a physical standpoint but
also from a mental one. When you are focusing on arching your back you’ll
be more likely to use more of the back muscles to pull you up as opposed
to the biceps. Yes, the biceps will work too but its important when doing pull
!
For this exercise, place your feet on a chair. You’ll want to keep your body
straight as if you were doing an upside down row. The emphasis of this ex-
ercise is on the middle portion of your lat and your rhomboids (middle por-
tion of the back). !
!
!
!
!
!
!
Get on the ground and extend your arms far in front of you. If you’d like to
make the exercise harder you can take your knees off the ground. Start do-
ing push ups but visually focus on your back doing the work. Yes, some of
the work will be done by the chest but the goal is to have most of the work
done by your lat muscle. If you are familiar with weight lifting think of this as
the bodyweight variation of the dumb bell pull over which is a great exer-
cise for your lat. !
!
!
5. Elevated Kneeling Stretch Push Ups!
!
This exercise is the same as the Kneeling Stretch Push Up but you’ll place !
!
Elbow Push Ups will help strength the middle portion of the back. Get on
the ground in a plank position with your elbows on the ground. Keep your
spine straight and lower yourself up and down. !
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
Place your feet on a chair or couch. Lift your butt up high in the air. Lower
your upper body down until your head almost touches the ground. Press
back to starting position. !
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
This is the exact same exercise as the Elevated Pike Push Up however
your feet will not be elevated, they will be on the ground. !
!
!
4. Kneeling Pike Push Up!
This is the same exercise as the normal Pike Push Up except your knees
will be on the ground. This is typically a very easy exercise. However, after
you have gone through all the other exercises in the Omni Set, you will find !
this exercise to be very difficult. Make sure to still do as many reps as you
can. !
!
Start on the ground with your feet spread wide apart. Support your body
with one hand. Place your other hand behind your neck or head with your
elbow pointing up. Rotate your body until the elbow pointing up touches the
elbow that is supporting your body, then rotate back up. Repeat until you
reach fatigue and then do the same thing on the other side.!
!
!
6. Forward Plank!
!
The final exercise in this omni set is arm circles. Stand with your feet
shoulder width a part. Lift your arms up to the side and keep your elbows
locked. Rotate your arms backward until you can’t handle the burning any
more. ;)!
!
!
!
!
!
!

!
!
In order to perform this exercise, lift yourself up on the chin up bar with your
hands in a supinated grip (palms face you). Perform only the top portion of
the chin up. (Note: when you get to the half way point come back up. Keep
going until you reach fatigue). !
!
To perform this exercise, you’ll only come up half way from the lowest posi-
tion. Once you reach half way come back down. !
!
!

3. Supported Chin Ups!
!
!
By this point your biceps will be burning. Place your feet on a chair and do
as many chin ups as you can. Notice, that if your chin up bar is high than
you’ll need a taller chair to get full range of motion. However, don’t worry if
you can’t get the full range of motion. !
!
*The overall goal here is to build up lactic acid and tear muscle tissue. So
just do as many reps as you can within the range of motion that you have. !
!
!
!
!
!
!
For this exercise, you’ll need either rings or a rope. Hold onto the rings and
lean back. Again, don’t worry about not being able to get full range of mo-
tion. Just try to do as many reps as possible within the range of motion you
have. !

5. Doorframe Rows!
!
!
This is the last exercise that you’ll be doing in this Omni Set. Grab a door-
frame and lower yourself toward the ground. Straddle the doorframe and
pull yourself up using your biceps. Make sure that you are using your bi-
ceps to lift yourself up. !
!
*To make this exercise harder, grab lower on the door frame. To make it
easier, grab higher. It is easy with this exercise to use your back muscles.
BUT DON’T DO THIS. Really focus on using your biceps. !
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
Start off in a normal push-up position with your fingers in a triangle (dia-
mond) position. Place the triangle at chest or head level. Lower your body
towards the ground until your nose or chest touches the triangle. Push back
up. Repeat until you have reached fatigue. !
!
!
!
!
!
!

2. Close Grip Push Ups!
!
!
Close grip push ups are another great exercise to strengthen the triceps.
Get in a normal push up position but bring your elbows close to your sides.
As you lower toward the ground, make sure that your elbows are touching
your sides. Push back up. !
!
!
3. Half Plank Tiger Bends!
!
This is one of my favorite exercises to strength the triceps muscle. Start off
in a normal push up position. Lower yourself down to the ground by hinging
at your elbows. Use your triceps muscle to come back up. It is very impor-
!
Place your hands on a chair or couch. Lower yourself down as far as you
can. Raise yourself back up. Keep your elbows tucked in and focus on us-
ing your tricep muscles to come back up. !
!

5. Dips on Chair!
!
Place your hands on a chair or bench. Keep your butt close to the chair.
Many people arch their back and lift their butt. This only takes away from
the difficulty of the exercise. Don’t do this. Lower yourself down and press
back up. !
!
!
6.Dips on the Floor!
This is the same exercise as dips on the chair but it is easier. It also places !
!
Bodyweight Omni Page 34

the emphasis on a different spot of the tricep muscle. With this exercise
you will NOT be able to get a wide range of motion. That’s ok. Just do the
small movements until you reach full fatigue. !
!
!
7. Tricep Extensions on the Wall!
!
!
If you were to do this exercise straight away, you would find it super easy.
However, when it is performed at the tail end of an insane Tricep Omni Set,
it is challenging. Make sure to use the tricep muscle to lift up and do as
many as you can.

Abs Omni Set Exercises!
!
1.Flutter Kicks!
!
Lay on the ground. Place your hands underneath your buttocks to support
your low back. Lift your legs up until your feet are about 3-4 inches off the
ground. With your legs straight, begin to alternate lifting one leg higher and
then lowering it again.!
!
*Try to keep you legs straight and fully extended the whole time. !
!
!
!
!
Lay on the ground. Lift your legs up toward your head. Lower them back
down. Repeat until you reach fatigue.!
!
!
3. Regular Crunches!
!
Lay on the ground. Lift your legs up so that your thighs are perpendicular to
the floor. Place your hands behind your head. Crunch up as far as you can. !
!
Bodyweight Omni Page 37
of 68
Lower back down. Repeat. !
!
!
4. Lift Ups!
!
This exercise is just like crunches however your arms will be reaching to-
ward the ceiling. This will help place the emphasis in a different part of the
abs. !
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!

5.Plank!
!
!
Get on the floor with your elbows on the ground. Your back will be straight
and you should focus on contracting your abs. Hold for as long as you can.
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
Start on your hands and knees on the floor. Extend your legs behind you so
that you’re in a “doggy position.” Shift your weight backwards until your butt
touches your calves. Return to the starting position. Complete as many
reps as you can with good form, then immediately move on to the Tight
Frog Squat.!
!
*Note: A lot of these exercises also work the glute muscles. The Stretch
Frog Squat is an exercise where you will definitely feel your glutes working
as well as your quads.!
!
!
!
Bodyweight Omni Page 41

3. Tight Frog Squat!
!
!
Perform the same movement as the Stretch Frog Squat, but with your feet
closer to your hands. Complete as many reps as you can with good form,
then immediately move on to the Bent Over Squat.!
!
!
*Note: By now your quads will be on fire. Remember to go to full fatigue
with each exercise. This will ensure that you are recruiting different muscle
fibers with each new position as others become fatigued. !
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
Start with your feet shoulder-width apart, and bend over at the hips. Keep-
ing your torso “glued” to your quads, lower your butt until it touches your
calves. Return to the starting position by extending your knees and raising
your butt back up. Complete as many reps as you can with good form, then
immediately move on to the Traditional Bodyweight Squat.!
!
!
*Note: This exercise works your quads in a unique way. Since you are al-
lowing your upper body to fold over as your quads extend, you’ll mostly feel
the exercise in the lower portion of your quads.!
!
!
!
!
!

5. Traditional Bodyweight Squat!
!
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend at the knees, lowering your
butt until it touches your calves. Return to the starting position by extending
the knees and pressing upwards. Complete as many reps as you can with
good form, then immediately move on to the Stationary Lunges.!
!
!
*Note: It’s super important to go through a full range of motion by going as
low as you can. This will engage the glutes more effectively. At the top of
this movement, don’t come up so high that you lock your knees. You want
to keep some tension in your quads throughout, so keep your legs slightly
bent at the top.!
!
!
Bodyweight Omni Page 44
of 68
6. Stationary Lunges!
!
At this point, I’m sure you’re wishing that you’d never started. That’s ok.
You’ve come this far. You just have one exercise left. Extend your right leg
in front of you, leaving your left leg out behind. Drop down into a lunge until
your left knee almost touches the ground. Return to the starting position by
extending the right knee. Complete as many reps as you can with good
form, then switch to the other side and repeat.!
!
*Note: Your front knee shouldn’t move past your toes. If it does, you need
to take a step forward with your front foot.!

Glute/Hamstring Omni Set Exercises!
!
1. Wall Walks!
!
Place your feet on a table or desk. Make sure that your butt is scooched in
so that it is in line with the table. Use your hamstrings (the back of your
thigh) to lift your body high up into the air. Make sure to go as far as you
can. Lower back down. !
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
Bodyweight Omni Page 47
of 68
3. Low Tight Curl!
!
This is the same exercise as the High Curl, however, you’ll place your feet
on a chair (something that isn’t too high up). Lift yourself up using your
hamstring muscles as high as you can then lower yourself back down. The
reason its called “tight” is because your butt will be very close the chair. In
the next exercise, you’ll be positioning your butt further away from the chair
which is what I call “loose.” !
!
!
!
4. Low Loose Curl!
!
Place both feet on the ground. Lift one leg and bridge up as high as you
can. Make sure you are continuing to reach up high. Lower back down and
repeat. After you have gone to full fatigue on one side, switch to the other
side. !
!
*Note: Your supporting leg will want to collapse as your muscles get more
fatigue. Think of your supporting leg and pelvis as one unit making sure
that they lift and lower as one. !
!
!
!
!
!
This exercise is the same as the Single Leg Bridge however you’ll be keep-
ing both feet on the ground. Make sure to bridge up as high as you possibly
can. Again, think of your legs and pelvis as one unit moving up and down
with out collapsing to ensure good form. !
!
!
7. Bodyweight Good Mornings!
!
Stand on a step so that just the balls of your feet are on it. Lift up all the
way using your calf muscles. Lower down until you reach the halfway point.
Repeat. Make sure to get as high as you can on each rep. !
!
!
!
!
!
Bodyweight Omni Page 52

2. Low Calf Raises!
!
Stand on a step so that just the balls of your feet are on it. Lower down as
far as you can. Lift up to the halfway point. Lower back down. Make sure to
go as low as you possibly can. !
!
!
3. Full Calf Raises!
!
Squat down to the ground. Hold onto the wall if you need help with balance.
Lift up onto the balls of your feet while using your calf muscles. Lower back
down. It might take some time to get used to this movement. Really make
sure that the exercise is being driven by your calf muscles. !

7 Omni Boosts
!
In this section, I will teach you how to accelerate the effectiveness of the
above Omni Sets using eight amazing techniques and principles. !
!
1. Time Under Tension!
!
You have probably heard of Time Under Tension before. This concept
means that the muscle must be under duress for a certain period of time in
order for structural damage to occur.!
!
There was an interesting study performed by the College of Health Sci-
ences, University of Brasilia, Brazil. They were measuring the effects of 3
different training methods and their effect on blood lactate levels. Lactate is
a byproduct of metabolism that builds up in muscles during strenuous activ-
ity.!
!
Here were the trial groups…!
!
Group 1: Do 10 rep max with each rep at super slow pace (30 sec eccen-
tric/30 sec concentric)!
!
Group 2: Perform 10 rep max but hold 5 second isometric with muscle fully
extended during each rep.!
!
Group 3: Perform a 20 second isometric contraction with muscle fully ex-
tended and then begin 10 rep max with normal pace.!
!
The Results:!
!
All 3 methods showed an increase in blood lactate levels. However, the
levels for group 1 were highest. Group 2 was second highest and group 3
was last.!
!
You have to keep the muscle under tension for a certain period of time in
order for it to tear muscle tissue.!
