Training. Quarantine Style!
I'm so fortunate to have been able to build a mini at-home gym. Power rack, olympic bar, trapbar and about 330lbs in weight plates. Adding a EZ-Curl bar and a adjustable bench (for incline/reg bench and decline crunches).
Once the gym reopens after this craziness, I'll be back in there 2-3x a week for early morning sprint/run on the treadmill and whatever accessory exercises I need. The heavy lifting will be done at home.
Meanwhile, I've dropped a pound since last weigh-in and I'm also gaining strength; which means, I'm gaining muscle. I'm on track. Yay!
My exercise choices, FYI:
Push Press
Bench
Squat
Deadlift
Rack Pulls
Jump Squats
Hang Clean
JM Presses
BB Rows
T-Bar Rows (I also have an accessory that allows me to do this)
Dips
Good Mornings
Pull Ups
I also have a set of 10 and 20lb kettlebells and one 35lb kettlebell. And two med-strength bands.
At night, I do:
2x25 pushups
2x8-10 knuckle pushups
2x20 reverse crunches
And I meditate 4-8 min before bed. This is important! Gets me ready for some Zzzzzs. I've added an early morning session of 4-6 min and man, that SO helps me to prepare for the day.
This past Friday (03-27), training:
Rack Pulls
Push Presses
T-Bar Rows
Saturday (03-38):
Early AM: Instead of a run, went walking about the 'hood with the camera. That was about 40 min.
Afternoon: Close stance squats. Heels elevated with a 10-lb plate.
Evening: Bench, High Pulls, Plate Raises
Set/Rep schemes are 5x5, 6x4, 8x3 (I'll forego the 8x3 for 4x6 and 6x4 soon)
So, that's it in a nutshell.
Here's a couple of photos from the Saturday photos session about the 'hood:
