Legs and arms. Interesting combo.

A lot of similarities between legs and arms.

Calves = forearms
Quads = Triceps
Hamstrings/bicep femoris = arm biceps
The glutes would probably be the deltoids.

Pushups/bodyweight squats/one leg calf raises everyday.

Did bodyweight squats/pushups/calf raises and some other stuff every day on vacation.

Now I'm back.  However I'm going to continue doing some bodyweight stuff in addition to weights.

Why? I realize how much I suck at the bodyweight stuff.

Today:

Got up and did bodyweight squats/pushups/calf raises and a few other things.

Later I did weights.

Barbell squats - 3x6
Wide lat pulldowns - 3x13
Standing calf raises - 3x12
Seated calf raises - 3x12
Incline barbell press - 3x6 and 1x12
Barbell curls - 3x10
Reverse barbell curls - 3x10

Looks similar to my away from the gym routine. Can't do 5 sets of 20 push-up though. Usually, I crank out about 15 -10 each set. My hands start to give out.

You're doing excellent Prime.  Just keep going.  Consistency.  

Since vacation I've been doing either upper body (pushups, band pulls, band presses, band curls, abs) or lower body (bodyweight squats, lunges, 1 leg calf raises, abs) everyday when I get up.

There are some creative youtube vids for exercises without equipment.  I do use bands for pulling.

For awhile I'll lift weights full body a couple times a week and continue the bodyweight stuff also.

Today was probably an hour and a half but not sure.

I supersetted everything except the calf raises to save time.

Yes, I've been home-gymming for the last 25 years.

Some stuff I bought new like the power rack and bench but most I picked up on Craiglist over the years for cheap.

Power rack, bench, lat machine, leg exten/curl, pullup bar, seated calf, dumbbells, a bunch of bars, and lots of plates, some interlocking mats.

For example I bought the TDS lat machine for $30 from a guy moving to Florida a few years back.  That kind of thing.

All in my basement mostly.

Nothing fancy.
