SystonFox Posted 7 July 2015 Posted 7 July 2015 You could definitely think about doing so stretching/yoga I was stiffest person in the word could never touch my toes and used stretching it helps with tense stiff muscles. I used a P90x stretching CD that my friend recommended to me 2 times a week and it really helped A very bold statement Han Solo
Bettsj2 Posted 10 December 2015 Posted 10 December 2015 Looking for some advice. Have a new born in the house (6 weeks old) so energy levels due to lack of sleep are rock bottom. I've got a home gym set up but cant get the time now to do a full workout. I work from home so i've been picking two exercises a day (today are seated shoulder press and bench dips) and have aimed to do 100 reps at about 60% of my lift capacity through the day. No idea if this will keep me in shape or not. Any advice?
MooseBreath Posted 18 December 2015 Posted 18 December 2015 Years ago I read some stuff about a powerlifter who only trained once per month and still gained strength. They were probably on roads though. I guess if you've got limited time you want to get the most bang for your buck and that'll mean sacking off the isolation exercises like seated shoulder press and concentrating on compound lifts like squats and pull ups. Personally I don't have time for the gym anymore either so I do quick work outs at home consisting of pull ups, press ups, bodyweight squats and the occasional half hour jog and I seem to be maintaining shape fairly well.

No idea if this will keep me in shape or not. Any advice? Focus on exercises that target a lot of different muscles. Get a pull up bar, do them dips and push ups for a start, then things like planks for core strength. If you get time throw in some curls for the gurls.
Bettsj2 Posted 18 December 2015 Posted 18 December 2015 Cheers guys. I'm doing 100 prison squats and 100 press ups a day as a minimum. Will deffo get the pull up bar and start whacking in some dips too. I've never done planks. How long should I be holding for do you think?

Go for a minute to start, do a minute then a minutes rest 3 times. They just try and increase it each day.

Unabomber Posted 19 December 2015 Posted 19 December 2015 Well that was harder than I thought it would be. I know they are tough man. I tend to watch youtube vids or something to make it go quicker.
