The Bodyweight Recommended Routine

A three-day-per-week bodyweight strength routine with six movement progressions and a core circuit. Each movement advances separately after reaching 3 sets of 8 reps.

BodyBuddy will text you every day to keep you on track.

or get coached through it

Build full-body strength at home with a steady three-day routine and a progression for every movement.

Weekly rhythm

Train three days each week for about an hour, with a rest day between sessions.

How it works

Complete the paired strength work first, then finish with the core circuit.

Use supersets

Alternate the two movements in each pair until you complete three sets of five to eight reps for both.

Finish with core

Complete anti-extension, anti-rotation, and extension work as a circuit for three rounds.

Progress separately

Move one movement to its next progression when it reaches three sets of eight, without advancing the others.

Check in twice

BodyBuddy asks on each session morning, then collects your sets and reps that night.

Getting started

Set your levels

On day one, tell BodyBuddy your starting point on each of the six movement progressions.

Keep three sessions

Complete the routine three times a week and leave at least one rest day between sessions.

Track every ladder

BodyBuddy keeps all six progression ladders and flags each movement that reaches three sets of eight.

Train without a gym

This ongoing routine is for anyone who wants to build strength using a pull-up bar and rings or a second bar.

Know the source

The routine comes from r/bodyweightfitness and has no set end date.

Movement bank
