Is it just that my program is too s**t?
Could just be some bad days.
the goals on soccer pitches around are decent enough for this, actually. It's right in between the fine line of "exercise" and "outdoor gym"There's a solid old school plant arch in the old Pipemakers park along the Maribyrnong. Anyone who is running or bike riding along there can take a break there and get a little chin up session in. I doubt many (if any) people would use it.

Every second day is a push up day too. 310 yesterday which I'm satisfied with while doing shoulder rehab. Definitely missing the gym though.

Made my own squat/bench racks
I have a football oval near me with metal fence I can use for pulls in the middle of a circuit. Mostly BW leg day stuff a couple of times per week. Every second day working from home is a push up day during the work day, which along with lightweight lat raises is actually helping a shoulder injury heal pretty well.I have a found a quiet place where I can actually do some decent exercises there is bars in a small park where I have been able to do a few "useful" exercises. Hard to describe, as it isnt exercise bars per se, but Ive been been able to make it work. Probably will continue to do it regardless until others join in but I doubt that will happen.
Will be interesting if gyms remain closed for 6+ months. Motivation of "just" doing bodyweight exercises may weigh thin (pardon the pun) for some and Im sure many will just stop all together, how long this takes is unknown. I feel after 3 months, it will be those with basic equipment will continue to soldier on, with the vast majority probably letting exercise slide into the background.
My new workout with just dumbbells is sustainable for probably 3-4 months, months 5 and 6 will be difficult the way I see it. If I plan ahead I might be able to overcome that barrier.

Definitely missing the gym but for a few months it's doable.
i'm coming out the other side of this isolation with a 6 pack
Unfortunately I have a calf niggle which is stopping me from running right now. Still ok on the bike though.Probably 6 months and we are not even in the first month completed yet it either.
If you do have any injuries, now is the perfect time to take it easy and be gentle with yourself. Heal and get better and stronger over the next 3-6 months.
With the program I have in place, it should hold up for a solid 3-4 months, its after this period that I am worried about, but I have purchased resistance bands as well recently so there is variety coming up for me.
I dont do outdoors running, its just been treadmill running. Huge difference, but I will say my treadmill training has held me in good stead. Ive always used the incline on the treadmill which a lot of runners I see on the treadmills rarely ever do. You need a treadmill to be at least 1.5% incline to simulate partially outdoor conditions. The fact that the treadmill I used was in front of an open window has actually helped me run outside a lot too.
That rug gunna move around?So, jump squats with 15kg dumbbells on a concrete floor with a thick rug
Maximum amount of sets and reps please?
It's been fine so far. I'm only going straight up and down. Just worried I might injure myself if I over do it. Using it as a power exercise.That rug gunna move around?
Just focus on good quality reps I think then, but yeah, stay safeIt's been fine so far. I'm only going straight up and down. Just worried I might injure myself if I over do it. Using it as a power exercise.
I thought I would post this useful video, of the many many many youtube and insta and FB videos out there, I felt this probably summarizes home workouts properly.
The biggest problem for those like myself who use gyms, is that we have no idea really of how long or how short the shutdown will be. If we knew, we could probably plan better and more accurately. The gym hiatus is going to be 3+ months with potentially 6+ months likely. This video is worth viewing. If our shutdown was less than 2 months, probably anything you did meaningful at home would help.
Good to see Virat Kohli helping everyone out
