What you can do is go to a park for a place to do dips and pullups if you don't have a place to do them at home or buy a calisthenics station..they are not very expensive if you shop around online..but today we do not need that for we are working our LEGS...So, as much as some of you hate working legs not having a gym is no excuse..In fact high repetitions are excellent for leg growth... Here's the plan... I call this leg workout "THE FATAL FIVE HUNDRED"
EXERCISE ONE: PLYO SQUATS (EXPLOSIVE SQUATS) (JUMP SQUATS)
There's a lot of different names for this but what's important is that you just do them and stop worrying what the fuck they are called. Ok.. stand with your feet about shoulder width apart. What you're going to do is go down into a squat position..but even lower than where you would probably stop if you had a bunch of weight on your back. Drop down trying to touch your nutt sack on the floor (for those of us with testicular atrophy that's a LONG ways to go).. ExxxxxPLODE! back up.. be sure you feel the muscles working.. It doesn't matter how high you jump what matters is the explosion and effort it takes to blast off the ground. You will see what I mean the more of these you do. When you get good at the exercise you will really be able to feel the muscle groups in your legs working. This is a performance enhancer as well as a power move to help build those fast twitch muscles and this exercise I feel is a good primer for the leg pump that is to come with the high rep stuff that is on the way. When you explode off the ground as you land .. do not land stiff legged and then have to drop back down again.. Explode off the ground and as you land you will be landing into a squat again..Every single time you blast off the ground use all the strength you can in your legs.
5 sets of 10 reps for a total of 50 reps.
Rest 60 seconds between each set.
Rest 120 seconds before you begin next exercise.
EXERCISE TWO: Sumo,Regular,close stance super sets.
This one is set up to hit your entire legs ..Not calves..YET.. but we are getting there.. So here is what to do.. Start out in a sumo stance. Do 10 reps sumo squats..without rest do 10 reps regular squats..without rest do 10 reps with a close stance..If you do these correctly you will feel it in your quads mostly. So your going at a moderate even flow pace. Smooth movement..mind muscle connection..When you're doing body weight exercises the mind muscle connection is as important if not more important than the exercise itself..So in one superset your'e doing 30 total reps. After one superset rest for 60 seconds and go into the next set.
5 sets of 30 reps for a total of 150 reps.
rest 60 seconds between each set.
rest 120 seconds before next exercise.
EXERCISE THREE: Lunges (Primary Muscles Hamstrings and Glutes)
You want a fairly large area to do these.Plenty of lunge room. If you don't know how to do lunges then you probably aren't on the right forum anyways..No steroids for you YET.. But i'll run you through it in case you're memory is foggy.. Feet shoulder width. I put my hands interlocked in my fingers behind my head..That's optional..You can stick your thumbs up your butthole if you want...but then that's kind of self spotting and sort of cheating..But take a giant step forward keep your back straight ALMOST tilted back with a slight arch to shift your weight onto your glutes and hamstrings. Step forward then whilst standing back up already be going into the other motion with the other leg..A good smooth motion.. Squeeze your glutes as you come up. Pretend like you're in prison and someone is trying to play hide the hotdog between your butt cheeks and you don't want to play. I joke but in squeezing the muscles it assures you and reminds you of what you're focusing on. you want a good flow.. 20 lunges one way...20 lunges back. That's one set. A total of 40 reps per set.
3 sets of 40 reps for a total of 120 reps.
rest 60 seconds between each set
rest 120 seconds before next exercise.
EXERCISE FOUR: Bulgarian Split Squats (Primary muscles Quads)
this move challenges you to achieve a deeper squat and that extended range of motion can definitely translate into significant strength and mobility gains.
Soooooo.... Place your back foot on a box or bench or a park bench.. whatever you can find... a chair works great.. and then lower your hips toward the floor by squatting back and down. Without letting your back knee touch the floor, drive your weight back up with the front leg. Don’t let your torso lean too far forward. Doing this .. driving up with that front leg you should be able to really feel it in your quads.
3 sets of 10 reps per leg. After you do one set with one leg rest 30 seconds before you do the other leg. Then continue to repeat that to keep the rythm flowing.. I misspelled rythmn but I don't care. I'm using my computer because my phone is broke so I don't have auto correct.. go fuck yourself.
4 sets of 10 per leg for a total of 80 reps
rest 30 seconds between each leg
rest 120 seconds before next exercise.
EXERCISE FIVE: SQUATS TO FAILURE (until you reach 100 reps)
If you can do 100 straight squats after all that than you are more of a beast than I will ever be.. Every week you're going to do this set to failure.. write down what you make it to.. and try to beat it every week.. even if it's by one rep.. just compete with your own record every week.. I say until you reach 100 because that's the magic number to bring you to the fatal five hundred.. and doing squats to failure as a finisher is going to really polish this leg workout off.. So let's say you make it to 40..and that's IT.. you reached failure. Remember..this is still one set so rest periods are not ALLOWED... that means you hit 40...bro.. you got 60 more to go.. get them in any way you can.. in reality you're going to have to allow some rest if you have reached a failure point obviously.. but we want to minimize it.. so no more than 10 seconds.. then GO... need 10 more seconds.. rest.. then GO.. until 100 my friend.. and that is the fatal 500
so here i'm going to try and make all this make sense to you.. It's called the fatal five hundred because you're doing five hundred total reps. This is also the same case for the chest routine I posted..
Exercise one you did 50 reps exercise two you did 150 reps exercise 3 you did 120 reps exercise 4 you did 80 reps.. so that brings you up to 400.. then on the last exercise you're doing 100 more reps for a total of five hundred reps..
This is a time consuming workout and a BEAST of a leg workout I assure you.. If you want to include calves on this day you are welcome to it.. there isn't really a written out plan I have for bodyweight calves.. what I go for is reps and form on calves.. Find somewhere you can stand with the ball of your foot elevated and do sets of 25 reps.. standing calve raises.. do another fatal five hundred and tell me your calves aren't ready to explode afterwards.. I do calves on a different day if time will not allow on leg day.. but DO THEM.. and I assure you.. If you aren't working your legs your cheating your whole body on growth... When your legs grow your whole body grows.. and that's a scientific FACT.. proven by... science... guys.. that are... smart.. on ... umm .... science... and other .... stuff... or whatever... piss off..

I was doing many exercises you discussed here, but didn't know their names, thanks for letting me know about all of them.
alpha-hic-upThanks for this amazing guidance.
Unfortunately, our parks are also closed to the public.
Currently I use TRX, and to add weight I put elastic bands. It is an excellent functional workout that I will most likely include in the next routines in the gym.
I've been training at home for three weeks now and the result is visible, and no inflamed joints.
+1 friend.
TronAs sam mentioned I always wondered about TRX as well.. Yeah, I'm using this time to get as lean as possible.. work on functional strenght.. muscular endurance... and My girlfriend is loving the results lol. I haven't been this lean in YEARS.. I know what you mean about the visible changes.. when you train in this manner.. ESPECIALLY If you already have a good build from free weights and heavy lifting.. I think this type of program gives your physique a very nice look. I'm down to 212 pounds from 225. I've been able to retain pretty much all of my muscle. I'm 6'1 so I don't want to get TOO light. If I go under 200 that's a little too much for me. I've been as heavy as 235 before. My goal for right now is to drop to 205... Not go under.. but stay at 205. My joints feel much better and I'm healing nicely. All my old injuries are feeling better.
225 is a lot of weight. Wow
I want to make you smile... my weight is 82 kg lol.
It’s all illusion really. Never worry about your weight.
There’s a dude on here named Bphigs that’s big af at 165 lbs.
That gay guy Scooby on you tube has a thread on how to make trx bands out of straps. I may make a set.
Nohomo
So have you basically dropped a stone then bud since the start of the Virus?
How much is a stone?
I’ve always wondered that.
TronI googled it before I answered.. And then I answered acting as if I already knew what it was. I tried to appear smart.. My life is a sad one.
In theory it can be however much you want it to be tron - depending on whether its a Big Stone or a little one Lmao ....
TronMind blown..
Around 14 lb's
TronI started upping my cardio and doing higher reps before the virus..back when I injured my shoulder. So, no.. I knew that heavy lifting was out because my shoulder was dislocated and received a hairline fracture..I knew right away that the best thing for me to do was to start focusing on leaning out so that I don't get discouraged. So a little more than a month before the virus is when I started with the diet change ..and I waited two weeks before I tried to lift anything..But I hit the elliptical every day for 45 minutes..sometimes an hour. Just to get my mind clear and get the anxiety out. I don't like to drop weight too swiftly.
I always wondered if those trx flies work good ?
With the TRX you use your body weight and the exercises are not easy. You need a lot of concentration and strength in your arms.
You can work a lot on your legs with jump squat, it gives you balance. The exercises are exhausting.
I have never used it before and this change is having positive effects.
We're locked in the house guys, and that gives you great strength.
They used it during my PT for knee surgery and a shoulder tear.
Legs
Single leg exercises alternated between legs no rest
5x15 non weight bearing leg held in front
5x15 non weight bearing leg behind and held internally rotated
5x15 non weight bearing leg held straight back
5x15 regular shoulder width squats
For shoulders same thing working up to 5x15 with Ys, Ts then rows
TronGood shit Bravo Johnny.. +9
Just kidding only 2
I can imagine that when locked in the house with no weights to train with if you train at the gym - Anything literally ANYTHING that you can use for exercise that makes you feel positive and good is a massive benefit. These truly are awful and very mentally testing times.
