   This was fun! I used my TRX bands hanging from my pull-up bar for the reverse push-ups. I used my 25lb KB for the clean and press. I’ve got good bicep and shoulder strength from constantly throwing around 50lb bags of animal feed at work but I obviously don’t have great pulling strength. Those reverse push-ups were surprisingly challenging as my arms got more tired. The bear crawls surprised me. My shoulders and quads were burning. Helped make this feel more full body like. This did not feel like a beginner workout with heavier weights. Thank you Zu for making this all levels!!

   Where is the link for the bars? I wonder what more is expected from this equipment ? Can you adust height and do full dips without feet touching floor and swing your body? I love that move and have to go on athletic trails to find some.

     You can purchase the Dip Bars Here
     The width and hight is adjustable. I can do a full dip without touching the floor, but I’m also 5’5″ so maybe a taller person would just have to adjust the height.

       thanks a lot, I just ordered one now. I hope this version will give more option than the dip station you used back in Prag (adjusting the width is already a great option, but height and stability is great feature too). Love adding tools 🙂

   Hi!

   How do I know I’m ready for the next level? I’m doing beginner right now and some exercises are still challenging and some are not. I feel like I do more and go up a level but when I do… there’s a lot of exercises I can’t complete or even do in the proper form.

   Please let me know how to gauge that.

   Thanks

   Did this in 12:35. Did 3 sets of reverse push ups and 3 sets of bent over rows with 20lb dumbbells (to get a little variety for my back) and used 26lbs for the clean and press. Those bear crawls did a number on my hip flexors!

   This was like a beginner X. I still have my equalizer bars from several years ago when I first started following you, Zuzka. Don’t use them that much because of the wobble they can have if not careful. My husband is a pipe fitter so he’s going to help me make them like these bars. Glad to see this equipment in workouts again. I was seriously thinking about selling it.

   Hi Zuzka! I tried ordering the Yoleo dip bars on amazon but they don’t seem to be available. Would you be able to recommend another brand?
   Thank you and warm regards!

     Unfortunately I don’t know another brand that makes these. I’m sure it’s just temporary. I think companies are not getting their products on time because of the lock down and people are now buying all the exercise equipment for home. It will pass.

   Yikes!! 2nd workout of the day – 1:17pm here in Florida & I completed both workouts in my open garage!! 🥵 So, I thought this would be an easy workout, but whew: those bear crawls are amazingly hard & I LOVE them!! Transformation Challenge week 6, day 1, workout 2!!

   hmmm, very light workout but then I didn’t use bars but DBs and only light because after last standing rows when I hurt my back I’m SO cautious
   i will treat today as a light training day as I feel quite fatigued for some reason
   I will play with some 5 min low impacts now

    Great workout! I consider my arms as super weak so I had to switch second pull ups with tricep dips as it was too challenging for me. Too many pull ups. So I added one more round as a punishment lol. Also these bear crawls seemed super easy but I had to take a break during these. Added in favourites and we will see in few weeks when I try this workout again.

      Are you using a band to assist during your pull ups? Pull ups engage the back (lats), shoulders and biceps whereas a chin up engages the back (lats), biceps and forearms. It’s not a tricep exercise. It’s a pull exercise. Triceps are for pushing. ❤️. Just an FYI: I try to do a muscle/mind connection while working out so I strive to know what exercises engage what muscles. Anyway, have you tried a band? I might use a purple one if I have to do sets of 10. A black band for sets of 3, etc

        Hello, thank you. No I never heard of using band during pull ups. You mean to put band on each bar to create extra handle or put it on my forearms or something? Im kinda confused how this can help me to make it easier. To be honest I always tried to avoid upper body workouts because I know its tragic and my rounded backs make me feel like having bad form all the time (and yes I know excercise can help me with posture but that dislike is just sooo strong. Still fighting) 🤦‍♀️ so in each round I was happy that I finished these first 10 pull ups and then switched. I know its different muscle group but in that moment It was “atleast something”. Next time Will follow completely.

          Hi Luda, haha. I hope I wasn’t confusing the reverse push up with a pull up although they are both pull exercises. I think if you can do 10 pull ups during one workout then you are not weak. Honestly if you have the mobility and the band is thick enough it is easy to do a pull up regardless of strength. It’s all about the thickness of the band. I don’t think we use bands in reverse push ups but an (assisted) pull up is just one band wrapped around the bar and looped through the middle then you put your knee or foot into the band. The band will help you up as you pull up. It’s primarily a back exercise so think about shooting your head up as you pull along the sides of your back. The back has lots of strong muscles so rely on them vs the strength of your biceps.

            Omg Im idiot. Sorry Svetlana. Its reverse push ups on dip bar not pull ups. It all starts with P its confusing lol So I did push ups. Thats why I was confused about the band. Pull ups you do on pull up bar right? Lol its another level. Im not there yet but thanks for tip. I will definitely try band when begin.

              I confuse things all the time 😂 If the band is thick enough you are ready for (assisted) pull ups 😉. Thicker bands cost more money, though. I know, I was talking to Zuzka and confused the reverse squat with a reverse burpee 🤪. I just jumped into your comment because I recently learned the difference between pushing/pulling upper body exercises. I’m not an expert but I find muscle groups and the mind/body connection fascinating. My friends ignore half the things I say and just do an hour on the elliptical 🙄 machine. I have lots of bands so I experimented. Thick bands will shoot you right up during a pull up!

                Really? Lol millions of reps here I come😂 its good thing that you are interested and help others as you learn more. Thanks. Im with you in this body-mind connection. May I ask how long you work out and how long with Zuzka? I did worked out in past years but I was like robot. No focus on form or muscles (and thats also why my backpain got so bad I think). I lost weight but it wasnt pretty body if you know what I mean haha usually I dont like slow workouts but since I started Zuzka’s stretches and power yoga I always imagine how that specific meat is working and fat says good bye to its friends lol
                With this elliptical you reminded me hours I spend on my indoor bike with my earphones planning my bright future thinking I do the best for my fitness while my speed was 10 😂😂😂 glory days lol
