    Not quite, pushups don't develop your back, and you only get work on extension of the arm, so I'm gonna have to insist that you need pullups or some other specific exercise for the back.

    Also, I said you CAN do standing lunges for hams, but I still think glute-ham raises are vastly superior. IF you want a GOOD workout, that is...

    I also still insist that you need to train your lower back, not just abs.

      I don't box anymore. I started trying to get bigger when I quit and gained a lot of muscle.

        I was referring to the fact that you said you could do lunges, and as soon as you editted that into your post I was making a post saying the same thing.

          First of all, Punchdrunk is absolutely correct in saying that if you've injured yourself with weights then bodyweight exercises might hurt as well. It took me nearly a year for my shoulder to heal so I could do dips again and even press ups were painful.

          If you want to give weights a rest and just do bodyweight exercises then I'd recommend something like this:

          1) Push-ups or better still, parallel bar dips (you can do them on an ab station if it has the bars)
          This is great for the chest, anterior (front) deltoid and triceps. Secondary muscles involved are the lats through static contraction while doing the movement. Dips are great for the 'pushing' muscles (pecs, delts & triceps)

          2) Chin-ups. For me the best back exercise of all (ok, I know deadlifts build a huge back but we're not bodybuilders here). Do this either medium-wide to the front or close-grip (marine style). Chins hit the major muscles in the back - lats, traps, teres major, rhomboids, etc, as well as the biceps.

          If you want to hit the biceps more then do them close grip but don't let your arms fully extend straight when lowering. If you've hurt your bicep doing weights then you can forget chins though.

          Legs are more difficult to hit without weights....you could try swimming which is very good. Maybe if your injury lets you, do squats as it will hit the quads, hamstrings, glutes and lower back. It will also strengthen your abs as you contract them during the movement.

          Hope this helps bro.

              I liked the exersizes in the link, I may use a few that I don't already use. Most of my body weight exersizes are plyometrics, lunges, squats / pistols, and the usual floor work. Somthing you might like is a routine like this
              50 mtr sprints foreward then back
              50 mtr lunge walk again foreward and back
              50 mtr hands and feet crawl (fast as you can) foreward and back
              50 mtr side shuffle (you know it) fwd and back.

              However your bicepts are injured and I take it your not looking to build power and stanima so my sujestion could just be mute and void.

                    One armed pullup? That remains a dream for probably 95% of the total population. If you can do even one (especially at your weight), you're a badass!
