Trying to recreate PPL in my home gym. I have access to a BB / Squat Rack / Bench and a 17.5 Dumbell lol

Honestly just switch over to 5x5 Stronglifts

This guy has been all over band work for years, after being a really good source of info for bodybuilding training.

Time to switch things up, not by choice! LUL

yeah, it definitely requires some progressing to. IMHO, starting off with light kettlebells is great. I do it with an neutral grip, so palms facing your ears so that you shoulders are externally rotated, and not impinged by your acromion.

not that it would matter anymore for the time being lool.

Seriously, not being able to gym for the past few days has made me realize how much I take it for granted. It's only been a few days in and I'm already feeling the gut. FailFish

I'm actually glad I'm cutting now, because I can still get an effective workout done on my rooftop without wanting to rely on going heavy, which I can't do anymore.

That 6 week bulk finished right on time! Would have liked to extend it a bit, but I did see some nice muscle memory gainz. Got to get rid of this belly, so a cut is called for anyway.

I plan on doing morning fasted cardio (speed walking) and then do a full body band workout like the video I posted. Will try to do this as many days as I can without overtraining.

Calories down to 2000, which is quite low for 225 lbs but I know how my body works. It also gives me some leeway, knowing I can fit in an extra protein bar at night or whatever, and I will still only be at 2200 cals. Also allows a cheat meal once a week if I want it, and it won't hurt the overall picture much at all. I will avoid that as much as I can.

I've cut successfully before, although never shredded which is fine for me at 40 and married LUL. I will never tell anyone that my was is the "right way" but I will say that it has worked for me so I'll stick to it.

Wow those bands look legit. I'm getting desperate for a gym. Any places where we can buy these bands (or similar) for cheaper? The amazon ones look super cheapo

This is rough, hiking and riding my bike isn't filling the gym void here.

I just can't get into working out at home, tried a few times, and my mind just isn't in it. I need to be at a gym to get that mind body connection.

Even the floor makes a difference, working out on carpet is garbage.

100% agree but these are desperate times

I'm actually enjoying working out at home vs in the gym. Zero ego lifting at home :-P

I have a pretty good functional trainer, adjustable bench, and a set of Power Blocks up to 70lbs.
Been having pretty good workouts daily the last two weeks

I've been using a squat rack / bench / barbell training in the garage. Lifts have dropped 5% from this new environment. It's alright but I don't know if I can make PRs at home. The barbell seems to be uneven same with the plates.

Went to fitness depot right before the gyms were announcing closure and bought a squat rack barbell and weights to load 315 on the bar.

Right now everywhere is sold out of fitness equipment.

BTW if you're thinking of working out with bands, get gloves. Full finger. I will be using MTB gloves.

Taking a liking to this training method SeemsGood

Getting a nice tan while I'm at it LUL

Will adjust my plan next week. You can go pretty heavy with these bands, but still I think more volume is called for overall.

After two weeks of sitting all day and not gyming, my back and everything else has tightened up to the point of sharp pain when bending forward. Remember to do your stretches!

I gave into the pain and stretched for 30 mins today. Did 60sec squats and shoulder presses. Then 10lb (all i have) shoulder flys, lat raises, curls, pec flys, rows, tricep kickbacks - 3 sets; 21 reps.

FeelsGood

I was getting some decent workouts in my backyard with my skip rope and 35lbs kettle bell.

8 different exercises with 1 minute skipping in between. Was actually sore the next day, felt good

Now it's raining again, and I've totally stopped.

Working out on carpet is still no bueno.

Body is definitely getting tight from all the sitting though, even noticing it in my hips too. Fuck.

Are we allow to go outside for a jog during isolation?

Finally, our chin-up bars are coming in handy

You can definitely go outside for a run, no problem with that at all.

No pull up bars here at home, so handstand pushups, might hit up a park and do some pull ups though.

Jesus, I was skipping on my patio backyard, and I have some Bob/Karen type neighbors upstairs above me, one of them were sitting on their balcony while I was skipping and he literally went inside his apartment and closed the sliding door.

Jesus Christ, ffs.

Seems to me they took payments on the 15th, closed down on the 17th, laid everyone off. I thought it was suspicious since they already have my money why do that already?

Now the staff think they're not getting paid the last two weeks of March and they think the place was already in trouble before all of this.

All parks are currently banned apparently. Like the ones I go to are all bound with yellow tape.

However, I've been able to get away with doing pullups on soccer goal posts lol!

Just gotta make sure you wear gloves

Home workout, no equipment needed.

This was difficult. Had to take 3 times more break than this guy did.

that looks intense, may give it a try.

between this and some of AthleanX's home workouts, there's a ton of training to do

ya 20 mins of that looks crazy

Hey guys,

Earlier this year I opened a CrossFit gym in New West, timing isn't great with the shutdown. However, I've been creating daily workouts for my members and thought I'd share with you guys incase you need something to follow. I know many of you don't like CrossFit, but these are just some home workouts. Hope everyones staying safe and healthy during the shutdown!
