So I know how it is when you get a new program and youre extremely
excited to start to only find that you dont have a certain piece of
equipment thats prescribed within the manual or theres a movement
listed that youve never done or even knew existed..

Instead of getting all bent out of shape and throwing in the towel and
quitting (like most people do), just know that theres a SOLUTION.

To help combat this, Ive created this quick go-to guide that supplies you
with a list of substitution movements you can use for different exercises
that you may not have access to OR dont feel comfortable doing yet.

Start Off By Reviewing This Quick Overview Video:

So, as I mentioned in the video, what Ive done for you is go through
every single phase and have listed out ALL of the movements below
with their substitution / swap in movements listed out next to them.

Just know that theres ALWAYS a way to get it done, but this holds true
only if you want it done bad enough ;)

Heres to becoming BADASS!

RULES On Regressing Movements
==> If you are NOT comfortable with a certain movement always
regress back until you're able to do it comfortably OUTSIDE of an actual
training session

==> Main Ways to REGRESS:

1) SLOW DOWN on the movement - do one rep at a time in a


controlled fashion this especially holds true for Oly Lifts
2) LOWER the load - going lighter on a movement doesn't mean
you're weak, it just means you're SMART - get it right, show
control then progress up from there - know you're limits
3) REGRESS to an easier movement variation

***Example Barbell Snatch Regress to a DB or KB Snatch until


you get comfortable with a Barbell Snatch

==> Keys on PROGRESSING:

1) Technique, Technique, Technique!


2) Form, Form, Form always strive to improve your mobility
3) CONSISTENCY
Cardio Movement Swap Ins and Outs
For All Air Dyne, Rowing, Running, and Burpees Movement:

---> AD 10 Cals = 100m Run = 150m Row = 20 secs Burpees ALL OUT
---> AD 25 Cals = 200m Run = 300m Row = 40 Secs Burpee ALL OUT
---> AD 35 Cals = 400m Run = 600m Row = 90 secs Burpee ALL OUT
---> AD 50 Cals = 800m Run = 1200m Row = 3 Min Burpee ALL OUT

***Use this as your guide if you need to swap in a different conditioning


/ cardio movement
***This is taking in consideration that with the shorter the duration /
overall time of the movement, youre going at 100% effort for the whole
duration of the movement. Your pace will slow down a bit as the
distance / overall work time increases (burpees will always be done at
an ALL OUT pace)

LAST RESORT Option Use Treadmill Sprints if need be

If you only have Limited Space and NONE of these options are open do
shorter agility sprints that equal the amount of total distance the
sessions calls for. Not ideal but at least youll get it in.

Example Basketball Court = 30m roughly so to run a 400m would be


13 total lengths. Would work equally as well as simply running a
normal 400 with added stop and go difficulty.
