Weights seem to be sold out absolutely everywhere. If I see an opportunity, I’ll take it
Prepare to get price gouged then

Front squat with hip circle:
115lbsx10
2x10 with 125lbs
I used a pretty controlled tempo for these
Deadlift standing on green band:
3x8 with 130lbs
I did the last set with a red band around my neck
Superset:
Reverse lunge: 2x10 with 70lbs
Fat grip barbell curls: 2x8 with 70lbs
I’ve never done reverse lunges before, so I was feeling these out. Balancing wasn’t the easiest thing in the world
Squats:
3x10 with 130lbs and weird stuff to make it a bit harder (see video)
I’m happy that these weren’t too easy. I was honestly hoping they’d be a little harder.
The bands did basically nothing, there was no tension at all for the majority of the lift. Still better than nothing. I was hoping the dangling water jugs would make the lift a bit more unstable, I might dangle heavier plates with the jugs next time to make it more unstable and harder. I also might add a hop circle next time.

What do you have? Have you still been able to train at all?
I’ve been training ever since school closed. I have a pair of adjustable dumbbells up to 100 lbs.
up to 100lbs per hand? that’s more than I have. Get creative with it. Maybe buy some bands or something.
Think that’s plenty to get in a workout. Load em up and go

That would be a brutal workout too.
Fun workout today
Deadlift: 3x8 with purple band and 140lbs (40 of which was in dumbbells attached to the bar). I was also standing on a deficit of 2 shelves from a dismantled bookcase
Front squat with hip circle: 3x12 with 120lbs
Squat with hip circle: 3x12 with 130lbs and hanging water jugs
Using the hip circle got my abductors burning better than I expected

Split squat: 3x12 each leg with 20lbs dumbbells
Barbell row: 3x10 with 135lbs
Dumbbell fat grip curls: 3x15 with 20lbs

Hello gentlemen stronger than I am. I have no right to speak about this, but isn’t the bar a little too forward from your shins? I Just noticed that when you initiate the pull, the bar travels backwards a bit as it ascends. Dunno, just thought it could help?

Which video are you referring to?
The one I replied to. Post 312 on March 12. Apologies, I haven’t hung around T-nation as much the past few weeks. Catching up on logs slowly by batches
I see what you mean about the bar moving back on it’s way up. Thank you for pointing it out. That’s something I can play around with once I get back into training normally.
You’re welcome bro. Probably good to ask @chris_ottawa too if it’s something worth fixing
It might be something to work on, it depends. If you lean back a bit at lockout or shift your weight onto your heels then it would do that and probably doesn’t matter, but if it’s because you are setting up too far behind the bar then most likely that’s something you want to fix. Some big fat guys who pull conventional like Chad Wesley Smith set up with the bar around their toes because that’s the best position for them due to their leverages and size, but that’s shouldn’t be Noah’s case. Generally speaking, you want the bar over the mid foot or right against the shins.

I’ll try to pay extra attention to where the bar is as I’m setting up when I get back to regular training

Great workout today. The main excitement was figuring out how to load 150lbs
Bench press: 1x3 with 135lbs + purple band
Superset:
Bench press: 3x15 with 135lbs
Dumbbell curls: 3x15 with 20lbs
Superset:
High incline bench: 120lbs x3x5
3 sets of Dumbbell 21’s with 20lbs
Low incline bench: 150lbs x3x3
I figured out a seemingly secure way to dangle the 20lbs dumbbells. Hopefully I’ll be able to do this with the 15lbs dbs at the same time.
Superset:
Skullcrusher: 3x10 with 70lbs
Bent over fly: 3x10 with 10lbs plates
Giant set 3 rounds:
Barbell row: 10 reps with 90lbs and black band
Shrug: 10 reps without putting down after rows
Lateral raise: 20lbs x12 reps

Just as I thought everything was going well… I had found a way to deadlift with bands that made it pretty hard standing on a book shelf with my heaviest band under it. In the middle of one of my sets, the band snapped. This really, really sucks.
After my failed deadlifts, I did 3x10 tempo squats with 210lbs and called it a day.
I’m very happy I was able to load 210lbs for squats. The dumbbells are hanging too low for this method to work for deadlifts which is too bad.
