What I would like -
Lose some weight, pack on some muscle, strength and stamina
Time I have per day -
1 hour at lunchtime (realistically 45 minutes as last 15 minutes is to get back to office and shower)
Training in the morning is not an option as I have a long commute into London
Training in the evening is also not an option as I like to get back home as quick as possible and spend time with my baby daughter
Equipment available -
Various free weights, 20kg barbell, EZ bar but no squat rack (so only frontal squats are an option), numerous running machines, bikes, step machines and punchbags
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is what I am after possible based on the details provided above? In 2012 I was a member of a flashy gym in Soho where they had loads of equipment. I was doing the 5x5 routine back then and was making some good gains (80kg squat, 70kg DL) but had to stop training because of some medical issues.
Medical issues are fixed now but I cannot afford the flashy gym so have joined a council run gym not far from Piccadilly circus. Decent enough as mentioned above with the only minus point being the absence of the squat rack.
