Another great circuit mate, Thanks again. Quick question though, if you have the time of course, is there another body weight exercise that I can use to replace the body rows/Pull-ups? There is nothing I can really use in the area that I am training in. Sorry if it is covered somewhere else on the blog.

Best regards mate!!

Your best bet is probably body rows. Lay a bar/strong broomstick across two chairs and lay underneath, or attach a towel inside a door and lean back. You can also use a railing or lay under a table to accomplish the same thing.

Here is a link to give you some ideas: http://www.fitstep.com/Misc/Newsletter-archives/issue28-back.htm

Another substitute involves laying on the floor and pulling yourself across the room using just the friction from your palms and forearms. I learned this variation in judo class where pull-up bar were not available.

You can also perform pull-ups using dynamic, muscular contractions in combination with visualized resistance.

If none of these are possible, simply sub another exercise entirely for the pull-ups and perform those on days you can visit a playground or have a tree branch handy.

Hope that helps.
