Glad you got some work in today, Bob! Time to get creative.

Of course some of the equipment in my friend's gym is totally different than my gym, so I am guessing I'm hitting some different angles and ranges of motion, and will probably get extra sore this week.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Weird sometimes training on all new equipment with different bars, angles and such. Felt like I got a good chest pump.

Incline bench x 5 sets
Dips x 5 sets
Bench press 4 sets
Bench press/Dips x 2 supersets
Dips x 2 sets

Yeah. That's a lotta dips. :r

Illinois goes to "shelter in place" starting tomorrow at 5PM for 17 days. Among the exceptions are grocery runs. Glad my friend sells bananas at his gym. ;) :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

So jelly. I improvised and used some resistance bands in the basement. No longer need them to tie up people. (Can’t waste the TP). :D

4x12 circuit, minimal rest
Band curls, overhead extensions, tri pushdowns
Push-ups
Squats
Reverse lunges

I’ll adapt new exercises to keep things interesting and work more parts. Also more running/walking. Got an hour walk in this morning while it was still warm.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Good for you, Bob.

Last "permitted" day at the gym today, I played around with shoulders and arms, getting used to some of the equipment and trying to bust out the reps. More limited in what I can do at my regular gym, but I am just grateful to have anything at all.

4 guys in the gym today. All practicing social distancing, and wiping down bars, plates and everything each exercise.

Next time I go will be to buy a banana. If some weights get picked up and set down in the process, so be it.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Back day.

I was the only one in the gym, as it is closed to members and just being used by a couple of the owner's buddies privately. Disinfected equipment before and after I used it, opened doors and other things with paper towels that I immediately disposed of. Hopefully that was more than safe enough.

The new bars, benches, etc make it interesting as I feel like I hit back just a little differently than I do at my place. I think 4-6 weeks of this might be a really good thing?

Super wide pulldowns (neutral grip) x 5 sets
High pulls x 5 sets
Olympic bar rows x 5 sets
Pullups x 2 sets

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

I think you’ll be ok, Tom. Good job doing before, especially. You never know how well it was done after the last use. And I hear ya about doing the same exercises on different equipment. Did a full back workout with bands today. Feeling it, but differently.

Deadlifts
Medium grip pulldowns
Seated rows
One arm rows
Straight arm pulldowns
Band pull aparts
Shrugs

Adapted as well as I could with the different weight bands I have.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Keep it going, Bob. Hopefully we will be back in our gyms sooner than later.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Leg day. Found a video online for using bands. Only 4 moves, but damn I’m sweaty and tired.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Way to adapt, Bob. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

I’m living vicariously through you Tom. Haven’t done much the last few days. Chest cold has kept me down. I’ll be back soon.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Take care of yourself, Bob, hopefully your cold and this pandemic are over sooner than later and we can get back to "normal".

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Back day. 20 something female leaving as I was entering (phrasing), and I had the gym to myself the whole workout. Starting to realize how much more limited I am at this gym, but there are some benefits to going really old school for a few weeks or months (hopefully weeks).

Barbell rows x 6 sets
T-bar rows x 5 sets
High pulls x 4 sets
Wide pulldowns x 3 sets
Dead hangs on rings. I like how it allows my bad and good shoulder to both stretch at the right angle.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Chest yesterday, pretty short and intense. Feeling a bit more limited by the equipment, but feeling blessed to be able to train safely in this time.

Is the bands/bodyweight workouts helping your healing at all, Bob?

Heading in for back and bis shortly.

Re: Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II
 

Nope. :D
