HI,
I got guestion about exercise A2. Becouse Im from Poland and now i moved to England and I don't have possibility to train in home so i start going to gym. And im at level 4 right now and I do every exercise from the book but in this gym ther is no equipment to do A2 exercise. Can I changed A2 to lifting weights on a bench inclined. My weight is 77 kg and I do this exercise with 40 kg weight.
Take care
Kamil Tarnowski

Are you sure you can't do this exercise?
Generally people believe it and finally find a solution.
Maybe you can place an object on the ground for each hand and put your feet on a bench or something?

A2 is roughly the equivalent of an incline bench press, which is something you can do in most gyms.
Try to use a weight that corresponds to what you have to lift when doing A2 with your own body weight.
Still, be aware that A2 has other qualities (for example, it helps to reinforce your back by forcing you to keep straight), which the incline bench press doesn't have.
Good luck!
