Beast mode activated. Keep lifting, getting strong bro!!

Musty Pie · 22 Mar 2020 at 20:49

Cheers bud! Although all my gains will stop now due to WFH and the work gym being shut until further notice.

Air and kettle bell squats at home and skipping is probably all i can manage now!

Musty Pie · 23 Mar 2020 at 15:14

Bye bye work gym! Hello garden workouts.

Monday:

Kettlebell squats:
5x20 reps @14KG Kettle.

Single arm shoulder press:
3x10 reps @14KG KEttle (per arm)

Kettlebell Lunges:
5x5 reps @14KG Kettle

Kettlebell circuit for ten mins (swings, core rotations etc. - Quite boring).

20 mins of skipping with speedrope which is hard in my back garden so might have to do this in the street at night.

Musty Pie · 2 Apr 2020 at 21:53

30 mins skipping today. Felt good. But no lifting is hard to deal with.

Resistance bands tomorrow and some more skipping and KB squats if I can a

Musty Pie · 5 Aug 2020 at 14:49

Ok im back in the gym!

Madcow 5x5 starts again Monday now i know my rough safe 1RM since not training since lockdown on any compound lifts:

Squat 115 KG x5
Bench 80 KG x5 (actually managed 5 sets of this at 5 reps)
Row 80 KG
Press 50 KG
Deadlift 120 KG

So I will use Friday this week to do some more movement and work across all lifts (lighter weight) for form, then I will be back on it again Monday.

Wish me luck!
