Daughter in thick dressing gown works for a single arm push press. (very cheaty.)
Not to full extension. (low ceiling.)
Have your daughter carry a sack full of flour and bowling balls.

A sack full of flour? Thatās wishful thinking, itās starting to look like Soviet Russia over here.

The only problem I see is that your weights may sometimes wish to go play with someone else.

1st at home work out today:
(Push ups x 10/ pullups x5) x 5
Some kind of chest press type fly with a band anchored in door x lots
Kettle bell swings x til I got out of breath and a bit hot
Kettle bell shoulder press 3 each shoulder x 3, then push press 10 each shoulder
Kettlebell sumo type Deadlift x till I got bored.
Kettlebell floor press 3x8
Going to have to try and structure this a bit better, probably go for repās in time, then try and better next time.
20kg kettlebell from back of understairs cupboard is a decent weight for pressing stuff, pleased about that.

So do you just have a single 20kg kettlebell to work with. Just curiousā¦better than what I got.
Yes just one 20kg kettlebell. Itās quite weird getting used to unilateral movements. Iāve got a red band, a set off bands with handle attachments an a door anchor, and a door frame pull up bar.
Oh crap, man. The thought has crossed my mind as well. For now, I have managed to keep the idea at bay through the imbibing of spirits and beer.
My partner and I have been ill for the last 10 days, so what little energy I had was spent trying to keep our daughter entertained.
Feeling much improved today so got a bit of a home workout in:
(10 kettlebell swings, 10 push ups) x 5
(Band fly x10, pull apart x 10 curl x 10) x 3
Single arm lying kb press 3 x10
Band oh press 4 x 10
Lunges with kb 2 x 10
Kb sumo Deadlift x 100

Can get quite decent resistance by clipping all the bands together, feels good pressing over head with one end anchored to my foot.
Going to try to add a round of the swings/pushup each work out.

Hey man, been a while. Was it Corona you think, or just some random stuff?
May have been, partner had all the symptoms other than high temperature. I was just feeling like shit, and having waves of fatigue.
My diet has gone to shit, I struggle to motivate myself to eat properly when not training. I went up to 227lbs, down to 217lbs this morning, so am getting a grip on it now.
I just canāt get on with training at home, with bands and a kettle bell (only done a couple of sessions in the last few weeks, and nothing worth logging.)
Iāve been avoiding this forum, as it makes me sad and miss the gym!

Iām always amazed how much difference these make, you can really feel it in the chest.
Those extra few inches really help stretch you out a bit more. (Your queue @Cyrrex)
