walking around the store, no toiletpaper, had a good chuckle

2020-03-20 11:16:39 UTC  

got the goods and went to the counter

2020-03-20 11:17:32 UTC  

3 seconds after i got in the line some ***CLEARLY SICK*** guy lines up behind me

2020-03-20 11:18:09 UTC  

stood there 50 cm away from me for 2 minutes, sniffing and coughing

2020-03-20 11:18:37 UTC  

I probably got the gift now, for an utterly stupid reason

2020-03-20 11:19:08 UTC  

and because of that reckless bastard behind me

2020-03-20 14:31:03 UTC  

Since the Gym closed I am trying to come up with a home workout plan, keep in mind I don't have any equipment. This is what I have atm any advice would be appreciated. Once this gets too easy I suppose I will increase to 12 each or add additional sets

10 Push Ups
10 Crunches
10 Squats
10 Seconds of Plank
10 Leg Lifts
10 Punches' Each Arm
10 Jumping Jacks

2020-03-20 14:52:11 UTC  

those rep amounts are nothing <:jej:612818843672379396>

2020-03-20 14:52:43 UTC  

it's not a terrible start but it's far too scattered

2020-03-20 14:52:55 UTC  

also no back exercises at all

2020-03-20 14:53:35 UTC  

hmmm

2020-03-20 14:53:59 UTC  

I'd cut the cardio

2020-03-20 14:54:12 UTC  

and add more sets

2020-03-20 14:54:22 UTC  

so you'd have something like

2020-03-20 14:56:45 UTC  

3 sets of 10 pushups
3 sets of 10 pull-ups (or as many as you can do, replace with chin-ups if none)
3 sets of 20 squats (holding a weight if possible)
3 sets of 20 crunches immediately followed by 30 seconds of plank

2020-03-20 14:57:11 UTC  

rest one day in between

2020-03-20 14:57:27 UTC  

maybe do cardio in the rest days

2020-03-20 14:57:44 UTC  

jumping rope is great cardio but really intense if you do legs the previous day

2020-03-20 14:58:15 UTC  

50 pushups out of bed, 3x10 pull-ups, 3X10 Dips, stretch, 2X60M strikeouts, run 6 400M sprint intervals, 4 mile cool down run, core work, and that’s a decent workout, works for me.

2020-03-20 14:58:54 UTC  

50 pushups out of bed seems excessive

2020-03-20 15:00:00 UTC  

Not really, wakes you right up, plus gives you the gratification of completing a task, thus making your day easier.

2020-03-20 15:00:37 UTC  

no I mean it's a lot of strain on the muscle

2020-03-20 15:00:53 UTC  

from what I understand the goal shouldn't be to do 69 million pushups

2020-03-20 15:01:03 UTC  

but to consistently increase the difficulty

2020-03-20 15:01:25 UTC  

Depends on your fitness level. I’ve been doing this stuff for about 4 years.

2020-03-20 15:01:30 UTC  

so if you can do 3 sets of 10 pushups, you should look into doing 3 sets of more difficult pushups

2020-03-20 15:01:37 UTC  

(incline, triangle, etc)

2020-03-20 15:01:53 UTC  

H Y P E R T R O P H Y

2020-03-20 15:01:59 UTC  

progressive overload etc

2020-03-20 15:02:22 UTC  

400M sprint intervals are the hardest part of my COVID-19 daily workout routine.

2020-03-20 15:42:44 UTC  

I don't have equipment for pull ups

2020-03-20 15:44:36 UTC  

I also don't have a ton of muscle mass tbh

2020-03-20 15:48:00 UTC  

I don’t have giant muscles either but you can still get stronger and acquire more muscle tone. Plus I only weight like 160 LBS.

2020-03-20 15:53:43 UTC  

"muscle tone" is just lowering your bodyfat %

2020-03-20 15:53:57 UTC  

so that what little muscle you do have shows better

2020-03-20 15:54:05 UTC  

The assumption that everyone has a pull up bar kind of irritates me when I am looking up workouts

2020-03-20 15:54:12 UTC  

usually done by lowering your caloric intake and doing more cardio

2020-03-20 15:54:22 UTC  

you still always need resistance training though

2020-03-20 15:54:26 UTC  

or else your muscles atrophy

2020-03-20 15:54:31 UTC
