- Tuesday: Back. Bent Over Row, Back Pull-ups, Chin-ups, Back Extensions, One Arm Rows, Shrugs. 6 sets 10-12 reps. Superset all at once, 20 hanging leg raises at the end. Take 1 minute break. Repeat.
- Wednesday: Legs and Shoulders. Squats, Shoulder Presses. 6 sets 10-12 reps. Superset.

Bodyweight exercises are those that use your boiywedght for the resistance. If you weigh 150 lbs, then the max resistance you will be able to get off of boiywedght exercises is 150lbs.Weight exercises are using an external weight source ( IE steel plates) which allows you to go PAST your 150 lb mark to whatever your muscle(s) can be trained to work through.Hope This Helps
