What is a common limitation novice and obese tactical athletes may encounter with bodyweight training?

The common limitation that novice and obese tactical athletes may encounter with bodyweight training relates to their relative strength, which is the strength measured in relation to their body weight. For individuals who are new to fitness or carrying extra weight, performing bodyweight movements can be particularly challenging. These athletes may struggle to execute exercises such as push-ups, pull-ups, or squats effectively due to insufficient strength-to-bodyweight ratios. This lack of relative strength can hinder their ability to perform movements that require a certain level of strength and coordination.

In many cases, before progressing to more complex bodyweight exercises, it is important for these athletes to first develop foundational strength through modified or assisted versions of these movements. This ensures that they can build up their strength in a safe and effective manner, facilitating further progression in bodyweight training and overall physical conditioning.
