Stronglifts and calisthenics

 

Stronglifts and calisthenics can be combined. They might not be the ideal pairing. Both are better paired with some cardio for fitness. If you want to go extreme bodyweight pair calisthenics with yoga. If you want to go hardcore strength pair Stronglifts with lifting stones and prowler work.

Stronglifts and yoga

Stronglifts and yoga are a great combo to prepare for heavier lifting later down the line. Stronglifts will build the core of your program while Yoga will take care of rehabilitation.
