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  

lift

2020-03-20 15:54:46 UTC  

bruh just get a pullup bar lmao it's like ten bucks

2020-03-20 15:55:03 UTC  

No idea where I would use it tbh

2020-03-20 15:55:20 UTC  

just hang it on a door ledge

2020-03-20 15:55:35 UTC  

Doesn't that destroy the door?

2020-03-20 15:57:26 UTC  

20 bucks at walmart

2020-03-20 15:57:44 UTC  

no man it's P H Y S I C S

2020-03-20 15:59:59 UTC  

idk never used one of those

2020-03-20 16:00:12 UTC  

but sure

2020-03-20 16:01:03 UTC  

dumbbells are also a good investment
