This following post is inspired by Chris Shugart’s “My Big Fat Training Program Guide - Part 1 & 2” Listed here: http://www.T-Nation.com/readArticle.do?id=459787 and here: http://www.T-Nation.com/readArticle.do?id=459367 , where Chris describes some of the programs which have been posted in various articles here at T-Nation.
We all know how good it is to mix up your training, both to challenge your muscles for growth but also as mental inspiration. I have read several times across the forums, that there is ooh so many training programs here at T-Nation… yes but where exactly?!
Here they are! A nice compilation of training programs, you can snack around in, like a kid in a candy-store… or should we say a T-Man/Woman in a Biotest supplement store? Enjoy.
N.B. If you would like a description before checking out a program I suggest you check out Chris’s threads, the ones mentioned above, to see if the one you want to try, is among the ones he made a little review of. He has around 30 program descriptions in his article.
Note: Authors are listed in alphabetical order by first name and at the buttom you will find some program where only body weight is used. Good for when you’re out travelling and don’t have access to a gym.
Here we go:

BODYWEIGHT PROGRAMS
Programs where only bodyweight is used in the exercises. That makes them great programs to use when you’re stuck somewhere without a gym.

P.S. I am sure I have left out a lot of programs, but after spending a long time searching around the site to find all the programs I had to take a break and get it done. Perhaps I have also credited some of the authors wrong, that, for sure, is not intended and I am sorry if that is the case. If you guys add some programs in this thread I will make sure to edit my above post and bring them in so we have them all in one place.
