Legs day is always blah … arthritis and bad ankles and knees mean it is harder to find exercises that can be done and can be progressed - especially with only bands at home.
Did banded Romanian deadlifts, banded split squats and banded sissy squats and finished with single leg stair calf raises … fun stuff.

Bands only leg day.
Did 4 sets of Romanian deadlifts regular rep scheme
3 sets of split squats … skipped last 15 reps as knees started getting bothered … will just do 10 reps with same bands
Dropped sissy squats … knees don’t like!
May add in simulated trap bar deadlifts with bands to get more volume that is easier on the knees.
Finished up a month of the bros. split band training and took a forced deload for a week long full time course again.
Since gyms may be opening soon, I am switching over to the 4 day split i will be running when they eventually open.
Day 1 Chest - Back - Bis - can be straight sets or antagonist super sets
Resistance Band Pushups
Resistance Band Bent Over Row - Supinated grip to hips
Resistance Band Most Muscular
Resistance Band Bent Over Row - Pronated grip to shoulders
Resistance Band Curls
Day 2 - Shoulders, Legs, Tris - (will swap in Romanian Deadlifts and split squats for leg curls and extensions)
Resistance Band Single Arm Shoulder Press
Resistance Band Leg Curl
Resistance Band Single Arm Lateral Raise
Resistance Band Leg Extensions
Resistance Band Skull Crusher
Resistance Band Pull Apart - to forehead
All exercises use the follow rep and set structure.
- 20 reps (low-medium intensity. feel burn 15 reps in and push for 5 more)
- 10 Reps (high intensity)
- 10 Reps (high intensity)
- 15 Reps (Same band as first set - more than 15 reps means workout may not hard enough so more resistance next time)
Well gyms are closed again for at least a month … got in 2 gym workouts and really felt the difference in the band exercise compared to having a weights I.e. more tension in the bottom than the top. When gyms open up again I may keep the bandworkouts in to stress the muscle in both the bottom and top
Positions.
Going into full body sessions to add in biking now that the snow is gone.
Today I did - all with bands :
4 sets of banded overhead squats
4 sets of front raises with chess focus
4 sets straight arm pull downs for lats
4 sets of single arm overhead press
Super set of 4 sets of overhead tricep extensions wit
4 sets of bicep curls
All with the 20, 10, 10, 15 rep scheme.
Worked in the John Meadows upper resistance band workout yesterday for a bit more volume and intensity.
Will do this workout once a week mixed with 2 full body workouts and mountain biking.
Started the Fortitude Training 3 Day Family Man plan this week. I did volume tier 1 and will keep it at this level for a few weeks to settle in. I am also skipping abs and adductors for now - never trained them so will see about adding them in later. The only other change is rotating 1 or 2 exercises for loading sets as i do better hammering an exercise and beating the log book with it as opposed to the suggested method of having a different loading exercises for 3 weeks and rotating that way.
