Bodyweight training has it's obvious advantages. The biggest one being the portability factor. The problem with some bodyweight training is that it can be BORING.
A great way to spice up your training is to practice one arm assisted exercises. A one arm pushup can be a little brutal on it's own but an easy way to progress is by having one arm by your side and the other straight out in front of you. This puts most the pressure on the arm by your side.
The same thing goes for your chin ups/pull ups. Use a mixed grip (one hand over, one hand under) and put most of the pressure on the underhand side. A great way to practice one arm chins.
Strength is not just working the specific muscle or movement but the core must be stronger overall. In order to squat 500lbs or perform a one arm chin up your core HAS to be stronger. With these methods mentioned above not only your core will definitely get stronger thus building overall strength.
Incorporate these today to not only get a great workout but also to boost strength gains tremendously. Simple, brutally effective and no need for any equipment. Win, win, and win.
