This is a mass-building program for bodyweight exercise written by Nick Nillson. You can apply it to other exercise also if You want. I like some of Nick's stuff ever since Fred talked about him.

Agree for a change up or a shock be nice change up. Think be good for muscle building!
Aaron I would say this is not something that should be part on a regular workout. I think it would be a nice change up to get through a sticking point in ones training. I wouldn't go more than 4 weeks with this. I did the workout Sunday and Monday. Tomorrow I'll just do some interval with step ups. Have some muscle soreness so the rest of the week will be light.
You posted this article on the old forum mass building not really a goal at the mo but inthe future workout idea id fancy trying!
Thanks Stone, I think it could be a nice little change up. Also I think it's pretty simple.
Nice article
Bob with a little imagination the exercises can be substituted with visualized resistance, self resistance, cables or light dumbbells. Bob I already know you like your exercise everyday, that's fine because it works for You. But I post stuff for everyone. Everyone likes different stuff. Honestly doing 3 reps with an exercise you can do 10 reps seems alot easier on the joints than pushing the 10 reps. But anyhow Bob if you don't like it just keep doing what you're doing.
Thanks, Michael, for explanation. Unfortunately, I am overweight and this style will kill my old joints. I like daily workout; it works for me as an endogenous stimulant. However, certainly, for young people, this training is a great option.
Bob correct me if I'm wrong, your workouts take you 40 to 50 minutes? From the things I've read from Nick about this workout, they can be done once or twice a week. So that would be 2 to 4 workouts a week. Yes it's a different style of training compared to your visualized resistance/ power flex workouts. But not everyone works out the same.
With a little imagination someone can make the workout fit there needs. You can split the body parts up more if the time is to much in one workout. For myself (everyone is not the same) less than 40 minutes is optimal time. For anyone that is interested in this type of workout you need time to recover if done right. So they can't be done everyday.
Interesting method, but it looks very time-consuming if to work selectively with different muscles.
