>GYM CLOSED DUE TO CHINK AIDS

The Jews still charged me for March gym membership even though they're closed,its gonna be labor day before everything gets back to normal, time for home gym I guess

Muscle has an incredible ability to maintain itself even with a lack of exercise, a 2ish week break should be nothing to worry about and you’ll be able to continue your gains even easier afterwards

I didnt squat last week though. I was gonna do it today in anticipation of the closure but I didn't. :/

OH GEE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE THREADS EXCEPT HE LITERALLY ANSWERS HIMSELF.
>How can I exercise with calisthenics
CHRIST YOU ARE FUCKING ANNOYING AS FUCK. ARE YOU GETTING PAID TO SPAM THESE THREADS?

damn a lot of nova ppl here i go to the dulles rec center. what are we gonna do bros

For chest yesterday I did 5 sets of weighted regular pushups, 5 sets of feet elevated weighted pushups, and 5 sets of weighted diamond push-up, and then rotated through all of them for 5 more sets.
For back today I did 5 sets of weighted pull-ups, 5 sets of unweighted pull-ups, 5 sets of chin ups, and 5 sets of feet elevated inverted rows. Plus 5 sets of leg lifts. around 120 pull-ups when it was all said and done lol.
For shoulders I’m not sure what I’ll do, fill up some bags with rocks and do a shit ton of lateral raises and rear delta I suppose
For legs I’ll just grab the heaviest bands I can get and grab a big ass bag full of rocks and start squatting like a mofo. I’m sure I’ll lose a little strength but I think I’ll be ok.

Hey retard, did you read my post? I specifically asked how I am going to replicate a 455lb squat and 500lb deadlift with some fucking calisthenics.

POST BODY WITH TIMESTAMP.

you definitely already have some saved

I'm with you definitely already have some pics of yourself
don't be a pussy, post body

HE WON'T DO IT BECAUSE HE'S LARPING. THIS IS SIMPLY ANOTHER THREAD TO KEEP CORONA RELEVANT, SINCE IT'S ALREADY BECOMING OLD NEWS.
TWO MORE WEEKS OF THIS, FOLKS, AND EVERYBODY WILL FORGET ABOUT IT.

All that protein and still looks soft with no abs

Alright dude settle down I'll post some pics. I need to find them.

muh abs

757fag here as well, my local gym closed today.

I might unironically start doing park workouts now but I'm black so I don't know how long that's going to last.

I'm just gonna go ahead and get myself infected and then find an infection only gym. See you quarantined faggots in a month when I'm juiced and you're shriveled lol

There you go. Only recent pic I could find.

This. Muscle memory is a thing. You wont put up the big numbers you could before it happens, but after 2 weeks being back at it you will. Now if this thing lasts for like 2 months, then you may be in trouble and it will take even longer to get it all back.

wait so what are you like 5'7 then? Not trying to shit on you for your height just genuinely curious

Yeah I'm 5ft7. :/

Ah ok gotcha, nice lifts then man good stuff

Thanks man. Hopefully this shit blows over and we can all get back to lifting soon.

They can't keep the gyms closed....can they Yas Forums?

am i seriously the only person that saw that you spend something like 300 a year on a gym as opposed to 400 or so for a bench, barbell, and weights with adjustable dumbells?

who pays for a gym? I get it if you live in fuckhole nyc or la with no room, but come on its such a scam

>Be on cutting phase
>Lifting heavy weights to offset fat loss at night time, the only time I really have to exercise
>Using gym in apartment, in which I’m the only guy there every time at night
>Going really well
>”Hurr we’re closing the gym no one uses, but we’re keeping open the fucking pool and grill”
>Be on second floor with people underneath me and don’t want to disturb them
Fuck this apartment. Fuck me man. No one ducking uses that shit but me.

>living in a small space in a major city
I think this probably describes a majority of Yas Forums users.

I lived in NYC for 28 years before leaving that shithole and even I had my own home gym.

they make benches and shit that can fit in apartments. you dont even need that much space desu. just put it back when done

LOOK AT HIS SPEED HIS FEROCITY

I understand why eufags can't have a home gym
but amerifags, wtf guys, build a fucking humjim already..
it takes 500-1000 bucks, that's a 2 months savings. fugmi

hahahaha!

HAHAHAHA!!

Thanks god my country's government dont give a fuck about its sitizens so our gyms arent closed and literally nothing changed except eberuone coughing around.

I'm 5'8" and inspired, how did you achieve this? My best lifts were 1pl8 ohp, 200lbs bench, 225 squat and 265 dl (this is all for 5*3, last set amrap) at 175lbs. Please help me.

I live in a 60m2 apartment and i put a fucking squatrack in the middle of it., deadlifting and rowing on 2 pillows. Shit i'f im going to be isolated for 4+ weeks i might as well spend 200 bucks to stay active. You can just sell the equipment afterwards for 75%, since iron keeps value.

The best advice I can give you is to be consistent, and train for strength constantly. I started lifting between 3-4 years ago (23, I'm 26 now), and I began from just the barbell, with a program called stronglifts 5x5.

For my first few months I focused on learning proper technique, and progressing according to the program. I didn't try to max out or anything, just lifted and built up my strength and form.

In this entire period I can only remember taking more than a week off once, and that was when I got extremely sick for two weeks with a very high fever for 5 days, constant diarrhea, and loss of appetite. I lost 10lbs during this period and it took me almost a month to recover my strength and weight.

Anyway, as I progressed with stronglifts up to a 315lb squat/high 100's for bench press, I had to dial it back to 3x5 sets. Then when stronglifts stopped working I did reverse pyramid training for awhile (top set, drop weight to 90% and do 1-2 reps more, then drop weight to 90% of that and add 1-2 reps for set 3).

I always focused on the main compound lifts. Overhead press (both barbell and dumbbell), bench press, some form of rowing motion (Pendley/Barbell rows at first, later dumbbell rows but look up AthleanX vid on modified form so you don't risk a hernia), and of course squats and deadlifts.

I also did weighted chin ups every week and I can currently do 3sets of 5 reps with 55lbs. Recently hit a 3 rep PR with 75lbs added.

You can add other exercises, and accessories are definitely useful, but should be done after your main movement. For example back day, you can do Deadlifts for 2 sets of 4-6 reps, then weighted chin ups 2 sets 4-6 reps, then throw in some rows, lat pulldowns, cable rows, etc. etc.

You think home workouts are your ally?
I was born lifting at home, molded by it.
I didn't see the fluorescent glow of the gym until i was nearly a man.
by then it was merely blinding!
your gains betray you because they belong to me!

For chest day, bench press, incline press, then whatever shit you want to add in. You can mix it up too and do close grip bench at the end, or decline press, dumbbell variations, or dips with added weight (Last week I did 2 sets of 6 reps with 120lbs added).

When you get to the point that you can't do full body work outs and have to split your movements, you can do push/pull/legs/pushpull (5 days a week) or maybe combine some of those and have 4 days a week. Each day should focus on one or two primary, compound lifts and you train those for strength. 4-6 reps for 2-3 sets. You can vary what type of compound movement you do to work on weak spots. With time you will get stronger as you improve those lifts, and each time you complete your sets and reps, add 5lbs to that movement the next time.

When I was working my way up to my max lifts, I actually did heavy singles each week and added 5lbs to those instead. For example, if I was supposed to do overhead press today, I would come in, warm up with dynamic stretches, work my way up with the bar (5-10 reps with barbell, throw 25s on there and do 2 reps, throw 45's on instead and do 1 rep, throw another 25 on each side do 1 rep, then go for a new PR).

After that I would drop back down and do 1 or 2 normal sets. For example, warm up, do 225 OHP, drop back down to 200, do 3-4 reps (I don't expect to hit a full 4-6 reps for 2 sets if I am maxing out, so going to failure is acceptable here) then drop the weight to 90% for the next set, and then move on to the next thing.

This method has worked for me so far and I feel like I could keep progressing weekly if I stuck to this approach but I want to cut instead before going further.

Sorry for getting long-winded but this is what has carried me this far. Also again, being consistent is very important. So long as you show up, do your heavy sets each week, you will slowly make progress. Even if you plateau and don't feel you're progressing, you actually are.

Also one last thing, technique is extremely important. I injured my AC joint doing bench press a few months ago. Got all the way to 5 reps of 275 and was going to try for 315. But after that session my shoulder hurt and it didn't go away. I couldn't do heavy pushing movements for weeks and it took months to get my bench press back to 275 for 3 reps. I focused a lot on technique during this period with lighter weight (still do) and even though I feel like my bench press still needs work and I do get some discomfort in that shoulder, overall I can bench heavy again and was able to progress to 315 max.

If you feel any pain or discomfort, dont just fight through it but try to research how you can improve your technique until it goes away. In the long run, not getting injured and having good form will let you progress more than fighting through pain with shitty form and getting injured.

Post pics lol.

We're actually almost the same age and I've been lifting longer (since second year of uni, meaning 20-25). The problem with me is what you immediately pointed out. Inconsistency, and also injuries because of ego. The rest I did similar to you, but I now know why I didn't progress, or rather I knew before, but made excuses and pushed through egolifting injuries.

Oh and thank you for the advice and long posts, I don't mind the long-windedness at all, better to explain clearly and with a large word count than go "just train for strength and you'll get there breh". Thanks again.

Wow man those were clean, well done
