The problem I have had with this type of training is logistics. For example, I am usually in work clothes which aren’t amenable to cranking out burpees and KB snatches, and changing, washing up, etc… are not an option most of the time. So, that’s why it’s far easier for me to get in one main workout, change and shower, and then perhaps some mobility or neck work in the evening. How do you handle this setup?
I work in a gym so can crack out chins and dips at will
The other ones I do at home while on daddy duties. Mostly bodyweight, high reps mate
Could you get a short intense session in before going to work ? One straight after work and train later. Or even a feeder at the start of your main session like a few others on here do. That way you would get 2 intense sessions in a day and still get your main lifting done?
Yes, probably I could. In the spirit of this, I added a brief workout when I got home today. Also, in a few mornings each week I have been adding a brief circuit of push press, DB jumps, snatches, and explosive pull ups. Only takes about 10 minutes.
That said, I also like to relax in the morning with coffee. So, you know, priorities…
So excited to see where this leads dude. You’re getting after it.
@antiquity totally get the easing into the morning thing. I really like 4-5 minute workouts for that. Tabata KB swings or snatches, or just hitting 200 swings. It’s a super small investment but it gets you started “right”, and once it’s done I have my beverage and my breakfast and relax.
Ok, I’ll give it a go and bring a KB inside and crank out 100 swings before my coffee tomorrow. I can get that in within 5 minutes. It’ll make my coffee that much better.
I might suggest to my sgt quickly pulling over every coupl hours on shift and wrestling with someone to get a mini workout in. I think he’d go for it
LOCKED UP
Hard going, even more so trying to dodge the kids

WORK
Agreed. If I work out and then drink coffee, it’s not as enjoyable. Coffee doesn’t taste the same if my body temperature is elevated.
Quoted for truth!
Fucking right @Edgy my man
Christ!
STOP!
Don’t stop dude. Leave the stopping to Planet Fitness
I have been howling tears of laughter all night man
My workmate is a burly guy. Too many weights and junk food
However he’s had a fire lit up his ass with the article I wrote.
We’ve been going into a cupboard and just fucking killing it.
I made him do 50 burpees and 50 air squats tonight. He was like a burst couch half way through. Almost in tears.
I was close to pissing myself at his efforts however proud of him at the same time.
We’re gaining in this wee cupboard while the actual gym is full of folk sleepwalking their way through workouts.
I’ve got so much crazy shit going through my head
@T3hPwnisher man what do you say to doing 1000 burpees. I have this one swirling through my head.
This guy is nuts. His videos are great man. Takes it to the next level
Pretty sure I have told this story before, but years ago I used to train with a guy called Herbert at our local warehouse type gym. This was the 90’s so they were less common back then, anyway the gym closed after the owner got roid rage and smashed the place up. That meant the only other option we had for a gym was the Health and Racquet club, think big expensive gym with a pool and spa and squash courts, heaps of cardio equipment but also a good weights area with lots of machines and free weights. This place was like double what we were paying, I think from memory it was 50 quid a month (a lot in 1995) and full of the soft middle class.
Anyway Herbert is not there to muck around he wants to get his work done and go home, picture the sprinter John Regis in his prime and that’s Herbert. He even used to wear those all in one lycra bodybuilder suits from back in the day. We are in the middle of the gym one day and Herbert just shouts at the top of his voice (in his Caribbean London accent) “Look at em man, they’re thinking about their dinner”, “what are we doing here, i’m paying 50 pound a month for TV’s and hairdryers man TV’s and hairdryers”
