Damn, first week in my program and I ALREADY got hit with the damn shelter in place in my state.

Oh well, I’ll just do some calisthenics, yoga, and maybe even some sprints!
This thing really sucks. Haven’t checked back in since the shelter in place.
Got an axle from my gym and some plates, so its been zerchers for squats, tempo OHP, tempo DL, and AMRAP pushups.
Not a big fan of it all, but since it’s home and I’m always home I might just split up all the sessions and make it a daily thing just to adhere to it better.
Seeing this as an opportunity to recomp, up my conditioning, and maybe work things like speed/agility/quickness since I won’t be under crazy loads.
Saw this post in the search function because I wanted ideas on direct ab work. Posting the reply here so I dont do any thread necromancy
But this seems like a great premise. Going to spend time trying this with plank/jump rope and ab-wheel/Jump rope
No love for hanging leg raises?
Just dont have the availability for it yet. Messed up and never got a doorway pullup bar back when they were available.
Once the gym re-opens, I’ll def do those with prowler. I also wanna try these with pull-ups and dips with the battle ropes to get shredded arms.

Haven’t updated in a while but been doing axle work at home. Gym reopens on Wednesday and I’m returning the equipment soon. Really excited.
Mid quarantine, it hit me that being in a caloric deficit really isn’t that dangerous as I thought it was. I started closely counting and measuring everything with measuring cups/spoons and a food scale. Some things here and there are eye-balled but I’ve been good at measuring alot of things.
My mode weight has been 190 till recently, with my highest being 194 around when I first started, but recently hit a low of 187. Was hoping to look a little leaner at 187, so I’ll keep pushing to 180-175 to see how I look. I hit my highest ever back during meet prep when I hit 210. I felt good but I was going through it for real (meet prep, divorce, eating out a lot). Counting stuff for real made me realize how bad I been messing up. Before I’d count protein minimums and eat around that, or count a sample day of eating once a few months and try to follow that, Both have been less than ideal
Hoping to reverse diet back up 190/200 but keep a leaner physique (less dead weight). Been taking long walks lately, but I’ll amp up the cardio once I’m a little leaner, since I’ll probably need to and my knee gets achy just from light jogging or short sprints.

Lets goooo! Productive month of training.
Last working weights:
Bench 245x6, left of around this weight before my deload pre covid. Wanna hit 275x6 soon, but hit a wall at 245/250 around rep 6 when I was doing 8s before my deload.
Squat 305x4, could do more, but just taking my time. really pushin hatfields
Hatfield 355x6 - left off at 365x8 and really wanna push to 405x6
Sumo 360x4 - taking my time to ease into the big weights. Hit 405x5 right before lockdown, so maybe a month away to that
Conventional Tempo Axle - 345x2 these just kill me. Left off at 405x3 on a deadlift bar before covid
