ad

With all the crazy in the world we could all use a some motivation, good vibes and inspiration!

Post up your workout and routines. Whether your working out from home, a gym or climbing trees. Share what you are doing to stay in shape.

I’ve been pretty lax about my training the last few years due to life. Enough of that bs. Time to get after my training. Summer is coming and I don’t want to look a Twinkie this summer when I take my shirt off.

I’m on week 2 of a 6 day split. As follows.

Day 1 Biceps, triceps, light chest, abs and calf’s
Day 2 legs and calves
Day 3 rest cardio
Day 4 chest, triceps and abs
Day 5 back and calf’s
Day 6 shoulders, biceps and abs
Day 7 rest cardio

Stay strong friends!

I do a modified PPL, didn't intend for it to be like that but it is.

Chest/shoulders twice a week
Back/arms
Legs

Don't do many shoulder press movements as it's worked enough from other pressing movements, lots of rear and side delts though. Probably should add in a second leg or back day, but this has been working for me for a while now and I get enough rest.

Glad to here your bulk is going great! Rest is key to growth. It’s easy to overtrain. Nothing like hitting the weights with a full charge and recovered muscles.

Workout 5 x a week, gyms are open here in the uk.

Push-Legs-Pull-Repeat

When the gyms shut I tried to workout 4 x a week for 45 minutes a time.

Upper: Dips/pull ups - weighted

Lower: Squats/lunges with home set up.

I managed to keep a lot of my conditioning even with 0 cardio. Ive heard the dip be described as the squat for the upper body as it hits a wide range of muscle groups, I definitely recommend getting a dip/pull up station with a weigh belt if you’re stuck at home.

John meadows atom bomb, just finished up and going back to creeping death 2 for my next 4 months of training.

Atom bomb was a good break, slightly lower volume and more power movements. I’m really looking forward to getting back to creeping death though, it’s a great system.

JL's picture

Never heard of either of those. Will have to look them up. Thanks for sharing.

Anywhere where I can download creeping death 2 for free?

Most of time it’s left overs from dinner. I eat a lot of rice, meat and a variety of veggies. I’m not a picky eater.

Today I was in a rush with the family so I had a Texas double whopper combo from Burger King. Lol

Calisthenics and Trx are great options my friend.

Check out NOSSK same thing for a 3rd of the "brand name hyped" price.

Amazon carries both brands, I have the NOSSK and love them.

They are great. I take a set on camping trips and hook them to my camper or anything else suitable around. They have them at the gym I go to also.

I don’t get all crazy with movements. I do the similar motions as what I do with free weights and cables.

https://www.menshealth.com/uk/building-muscle/g752519/best-trx-exercises/

This link shows a few great exercises. Awesome for core strength and stabilizer muscles.

I like the one legged squats, push ups, flys, pull overs and triceps. The intensity is change with the angle you lean into the steps. It’s actually harder then it looks.

Thanks pal

Anytime Sam. You got me thinking about incorporating more TRX into my routines. It’s easy to fall into old routines at the gym. Adding something different adds a new challenge and keeps it fun! Today is legs. Definitely adding in TRX. Will post workout later.
