No they decided that yesterday. Woke at 3am and remembered I had to book gym session and one I normally go to was fully booked. AND SO WAS MY EX-FAITHFUL SAFETY NET.

Sad times.

What's 2+2? :o (don't say 4!!) Feel like I should know this.

Just starting a tempo bench phase, never tried it before much tbh - my bench is too low as it is without dropping the weight even further (though unlike my squat held up better over lockdown... mainly due to push-ups I think - who knew weighing too much would have its advantages LOL)

coffee_cake

Do 2 reps then quick reset to stand up and set up again then next 2 reps :)im not great at the old push ups

Same with bench holding up. Only about 5kg shy if my max after 4/5 weeks back.

Download a metronome app for tempo. It just makes it easier for counting and keeps the tempo constant cos it's too easy to speed it up when it gets a bit heavier.

joiining a closer gym was definitely the best idea ever

14/10

Split squat (since I wasnt brave enough to try the upside down leg press)
more of a lunge

15kg barbell 3x12

I actually can't face the dumbbells when they're the main exercise. contrary

It's all relative, I guess. I mostly had bands and a sandbag last time.

Having dumbbells feels positively decadent.

I wished I had space for squat rack and platform in my house. I'd have had it set-up the last time! Don't forget to post the pics of your new set-up!
