All this calisthenics talk lately has me fiending for some. I'll drop my weights tomorrow and dedicate a whole hour doing push-ups, body squats, dips and pull-ups. That pump is gonna be :ohlawd:

Do barbell squats but go deep to where your upper thighs are parallel to the floor. Don't do leg press.
One way to force yourself to go low and not injure yourself in the process is to do the following.
1. Get a power rack (or squat rack)
2. Adjust the spotter bars. If you are in a squat rack, make sure the spotter bars aren't too low or too high.
3. Put the barbell on the spotter bars.
4. Get under the barbell like you are going to squat. Look in the mirror and down at your legs, you should be starting at the bottom of your squat. Adjust the spotter bars higher or lower so your thighs are parallel to the floor.
5. Add weight plates. Start with low weight first.
6. Start doing squats where you start at the bottom and end at the bottom. Do each rep so you are stopping at the bottom. Do ten reps. This forces you to activate your glutes. If you start at the top and don't go deep enough, then you won't activate your glutes as much, but you will be activating your quads and hams.
7. Slowly add additional weight, like in 20 lbs. increments per set.

Ate like crap yesterday and was still able to crush the run. I did feel like I was having a harder time during my sets. I have started to time myself and try to take no more than 10 minutes per set of calisthenics. Came in at 37 minutes and some change when it was all said and done.
