Training under Covid-19 conditions

Thursday
It's still shoulders and arms so we make do with what we have. Paul brought over a light EZ bar, 4 dumbbells, 2 kettlebells and a few other bits. Added to what I have we can make do.

Seated Press in the power rack
The only olympic bar I have here was made for me by Pullum Sports and is deliberately over long so weighs 27kg so I adjusted the weight. It's gonna take a while to get used to the changes so we held back from the usual levels.
60kg x 8 reps, 80kg x 8 reps, 100kg x 4 reps

Hammer Curls (weight does not inc handle (feels kinda thin) and collars)
10, 20 and 30kg x 8 reps. I think we can get these to about 40kg / 88lbs so once I'm there it'll be volume and reps

s/s

Lying Tricep Extensions (used the bench)
20+kg x 8 reps, 60kg (too heavy) x a few so dropped to 45kg or so x 12 reps (this will be tweaked). Slight tweak from the bar in my left wrist so I might wrap it. I also didn't use elbow sleeves. I thin k I've done 70kg on this before so that'll be the aim

Workout was 55mins (much quicker than normal)

Great stuff, for me not much has changed as full setup at home. Did back and biceps. Just get some foods is more difficult

I need to get my ass into gear with my home workouts. I've only been going twice a week for a couple months because my child has been sick. Then she gets better and gym closes. Haven't worked out in weeks. Longest break I've taken in years. I have lost a lot of size and I wasn't huge to begin with.

One idea we're playing with is doing bench dips (if the shoulders can take it). Feet up on a rack pin and hands on a bench. Add weights to the thighs.

You'll gain back 90% real quick as soon as things settle down.

i'm noticing a lot of people out in nature lately. fishing, bird watching, taking pictures, hiking, bicycling. pretty much you have 2 choices, you can sit home and stress watching tv, or you can get out there and enjoy nature.

also those who have home gyms look like geniuses right now and are making a lot of new friends all of a sudden
