A simple Push and Pull routine with garbage weights.

ad

I've got a Golds Gym bench with a 20lb bar , and 2 dumbbell bars the kind you slide weights on and thread the weight stop on , and a total of 260lbs in weights four 25lb plates and an assortment of 10's and 5's all of which were covered with cob webs and rusty from sitting in the garage unused .

I bought two heavy tension bands to add more weight to my bench when I'm pushing , and I have to say those really work like a charm. Basically my routine is push one day and pull the next , each day an hour flat in the garage . On pull day I'm Pulling dumbbells alternating arms as heavy as I can until I hit complete muscle failure, in between sets I hit a set of pull ups on one of those door jam pull up bars .

On push day , I'm hitting 225lb on the bar with the heavy resistance band added, then down to 205 on the bar with the heavy resistance band , then down to 185 on the bar with heavy resistance band added. Ill push until muscle failure , and hit some flys in between sets .

All in all that's pretty much my routine day in day out alternating days , I wanted to keep it simple so as to stay motivated because that is my biggest problem right now staying motivated. I miss my gym , and I miss my friends but ill be damned if I'm gonna lose all the gains I've made fuck that, Ill lift bags of rice if I have too then ill eat those bitches .

How does my gym set up and routine stack up to you guys set up ??

Routine looks awesome. Maybe try including a leg day here and there?

My gym consists of shit loads of water bottles in a big holdall and rucksacks with water. Also some bungees to replicate bands.
The holdall weighs around 40kg when full and the rucksack i can make up to around 20kg. So I can still manage for example a decent arm session...and whilst awkward I can get decent shoulder session one arm arnold press the holdall when full holding the long strap which actually feels good for stabilisers and core and then a lot of individual delt head stuff with the rucksack...
Chest and back is difficult as the weight just isn't there... So maxing out to failure on inverted rows and pull ups, push ups of all variations and with the Mrs on the back aswll lol.
Whilst it's shit an not the same there's no way I'm just giving it up and when all this is over I'll at least know I've done what I can with what I've got.

I've used kitchen worktops or chairs for them in the past when I've been away on holiday with no access to a gym. Use to get my GF to straddle my back too and do a load of press ups next to the pool whilst getting pissed Lmao Aahh those were the days .....

This is my project for tomorrow, cost me about $65. The pipes and brackets where pricey. But we’ll worth the couple dollars.
