Is the plane ticket covered to Amsterdam ?
FINALLY I AM FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been doing park workouts since Covid, sucks cuz I was making PB after PB at the gym before, but have gotten into great shape- am about 10 pounds leaner- doing this workout three times a week:
Superset 1 X 3
handstand push-ups
Hanging rows
Jumping squats
Superset 2 X3
Pause pushups
Pull-ups
Hockey extensions
Superset 3 X3
Rotator planks
Hill run
crunches
Its poser BS nobody can make any decent gains doing this.I just can't get behind bodyweight workouts no matter how many times I try.
Good on you!
During my FORCED hiatus I packed on like 10 POUNDS OF PURE BEEF MUSCLE
The pandemic had me in the first half, not gonna lie. But right now im in the best shape of my life.
I got myself 500 pounds of bare steel. A stubby axle from Gorilla. Built myself a squat rack with buckets and 2x4s, I got myself sand-filled kegs (One 100 pound and one 200 pound.). I got myself a sand bag to throw. I got myself a speed rope.
Ive been training strongman style and been leaning hard on my overhead strength and Im closing in on a 300 pound axle press.
Deadlift/Squat/Bench went down a bit, not gonna lie, but my axle deadlift is at 425 and thats without straps, sounds low for someone that can deadlift 550 on any day, but those bars are rough, rough. (The record is at 528 by a monster of a man Terry Holland... I have no idea howe Im 100 pounds from that but im kinda excited about it. I wonder how many people can really deadlift 400+ on that bar, and why, out of the blue, I, the most average of average lifters, can do it.)
Ive also gotten my single leg strength up to a point where I can do easy pistol squats.
Im @ 220 and we can see clear separation on my first four abs.
I put on 20lbs during the pandemic. Only back a couple weeks at the gym but I do 5-8 sessions per week, so I'm definitely climbing back up the ladder with strength and getting the muscles to feel tighter instead of flabby.
That said, my weight isn't fluctuating. I'm still at 213lb but stomach is getting tighter as well. I think I'll just try to stay at this weight for a while and just get f***ing jacked. 6'2 210lbs jacked....I can get behind that.
Nutrition has been all over the place, I'm gonna try to organize better and double my protein intake, reduce the crappy carbs, and see how I feel.
Depends what you mean by gains.Its poser BS nobody can make any decent gains doing this.
Well maybe decent for the average NA fatty
Depends what you mean by gains.
Weight loss can be considered gains if it's the objective.
Handstand push ups, pull ups, inverted rows and hill sprints can definitely improve your strength.
But yes, it's limited.
For the rest, you'll get gains in muscle endurance, not necessarily strength.
To get really strong from bodyweight workouts, you need to go into gymnastics and increase the complexity of the exercises.
Yeah, focusing on nutrition yields such great results. All over the board, feeling superhuman right now @ 2800 cals and 240 g of prots.
The handstand push-ups and hanging rows at least give some heavier weight type lifts. Definitely not something I was ever planning on getting on, but with the weather being nice I’m enjoying it for now.I just can't get behind bodyweight workouts no matter how many times I try.
Good on you!
Handstands yes...inverted rows you'll have to do a lot of reps so it'll be more muscle endurance than strength, unless you add weights on you, or go into front levers.The handstand push-ups and hanging rows at least give some heavier weight type lifts.

Maybe I’m doing them kinda different, doing an underhand grip on the bar and getting my body on a plane even to the ground, and rowing it up. Pretty tough- especially on the core- almost like a plank. I’m maxing at about 5 reps a set.Handstands yes...inverted rows you'll have to do a lot of reps so it'll be more muscle endurance than strength, unless you add weights on you, or go into front levers.
Ya I figured that's how you'd do them, otherwise it'd be too easy.Maybe I’m doing them kinda different, doing an underhand grip on the bar and getting my body on a plane even to the ground, and rowing it up.

Pretty much matching it to my shoulder handstand presses. Def harder than I thought it would beYa I figured that's how you'd do them, otherwise it'd be too easy.
Just 5 reps? Are you going with a slow eccentric tempo?
